Best get your old army boots out anyway they probably need a bit of polish.

Me too

I did two years National Service, but upon demob I was still a reservist, can't remember for how long, but for quite a few years at least
At 88 I reckon I am safe, but who knows?

Absolutely

Not heard of this before. Quite disgraceful

There are a number of countries in which the people seem to enjoy torturing animals.
I see it as a distinct lack of humanity, but also some sort of 'superiority complex' to show to themselves that humans are superior and all animals are inferior beings.
I see such people as being inferior to civilsed people.  They might impress some of their own kind, but they certainly don't impress me.
The same applies to the one specific group of people who, in order to eat the meat of some animals, those animals must be tortured to death rather than humanely killed as with other people.
Fortunately, the pigs seem to escape such torture for some strange reason!

A good job well done, Raven.

I sometimes can hardly believe mankind and their depravity.

We all know about the 'Bull running'  the Spanish seem to enjoy so much,  and the Bull fighting and killing of these animals after torturing them for pleasure. 
However,  the Spanish seem to have  a real knack for inventing abominable cruelty  on  defenceless animals, who have done no wrong,  purely for the human's  fun and pleasure.

Most horses are frightened of fire,  and will run away if they possibly can.    So what kind of moron would think it fun to deliberately make a horse run INTO the flames instead?

I really do hope these people rot in hell,  where it is supposed to be very hot.
