What a week...

Hi folks...I started off the week with a rant about greed and injustice and here we go again...love it or loathe it...modern technology and social media bombard us all on a daily basis with reminders of everything that's wrong with the world we live in...it's depressing isn't it and for me and animal lovers everywhere this week has been tough...a rollercoaster of anger...utter disbelief...disgust and sadness at...
There are no words to describe what I think of the cowardly ******* who wounded this beautiful animal...stalked him for 40 hours before shooting him...removed his skin and that gorgeous majestic head...for what...another trophy on his wall.  Whether he's extradited to Zimbabwe to be brought to justice or not...he has to look his kids in the eye everyday for the rest of his miserable life and see their shame for what their Dad does for fun.
but sadly this is just the tip of a very nasty iceberg...
did you know about Canned Hunting
a shameful heartbreaking but very lucrative trade in South Africa which indulges the sick fantasies of rich businessmen. Like millions of others across the globe I'm outraged and have been signing petition after petition but will it make a difference...I doubt it...not until Governments stand together to put a stop to this barbarity...Australia has already banned the importation of hunting trophies...the UK and the EU are debating the issue and if the US Government decide to include the African Lion on the Endangered Species list...it could make a real difference and protect these beautiful animals from egotistical maniacs and their disgusting interpretation of the word SPORT. Already there is a tiny glimmer of light at the end of this dark tunnel of depravity...Quantas KLM Lufthansa Singapore Airlines and Emirates have announced a ban on transporting their disgusting trophies...three cheers for the good guys.
BUT just when you think the idiocy can't get any worse...our Government have approved the reintroduction of pesticides that will kill millions of bees in the UK...
no bees...no pollination of plants...no food...in years to come we could be importing thousands of tons of fruit and vegetables adding billions to the national debt...not forgetting the huge increase in our carbon footprint...worst case scenario...fruit and veg could become endangered species in the UK or disappear from our supermarket shelves completely. Laughable...ludicrous...the stupidity of the people who are supposed to represent us is unbelieveable...you couldn't make it up if you tried. Seriously I despair of the kind of world we are creating for future generations and can't help but wonder if God ever regrets the day he created Adam and Eve.
Enjoy your weekend...especially the gang who are heading to the Wendy Vecchi Workshop in London...you all know who are...have fun girls...I'll be with you in spirit.
