Do any of you listen to the Archers? I have been a fan, for ahem. over 25 years. and last night one of the main characters bought their son a single boar, in a cage, no hutch or run..... I am already worrying about him. Mainly because I think it will encourage people thinking about Christmas presents for their children to think that this is a good idea as a present solution..... am tempted to write to the Beeb to say that someone should buy the poor little mite a friend - don't they do their research? A couple of years I had an ongoing rant with the Beeb about their esteemed programme Serious Andes, on which they gave the children (about to embark on a trek in Peru) a box of guinepigs which they had to kill and eat..... it was the most horrible and insensitive thing I have ever seen, the kids were so distressed, and many of them had guineas as pets and were distraught....... as you can imagine the pc letter I got back from the Beeb droned on about 'cultural sensitivities taken into account' or some similar kind of wording.... I was appalled.
