Hmmmm, excluding the bike:

- Controlled animal breeding

We need to stop ‘controlled animal breeding’ it’s just eugenics for superficial pet owners, pet ownership should be based on need rather than aesthetics!

Animals born with skulls too small for their brains, hip dysplasia, too much skin, eyes that don’t fit in their sockets... the list is endless.. Most dog breeders are no better than Joseph Mengele.

If we let our pets choose their own sexual partners breeds would disappear, animal suffering would be reduced, puppy farms would close, pet theft reduced, and f’kin Crufts wouldn’t be on TV promoting the suffering.. that woman who makes her dog dance on their hind legs should be forced into stress position for 8hrs / day..

I hear-by request it’s strucken from the list..

With the very best intention of gene editing.. I guarantee that in 20yrs time children will look like Pugs..

if we can fk it up, we will fk it up.. the mantra of humans.

Is that humans though or just indulgent 1st Worlders, who’ve sold their souls for unfettered, mindless consumption?

Personally I think we peaked about 15,000 years ago…

Quorn sausages are not what they used to be. They’re so good they taste like a low-quality pork sausage ….to an easily pleased/desperate veggie, that’s a very good thing indeed. I love ‘em.

I can’t digest it.. it plays havoc with my system, my friends sister has the same intolerance.. within an hour of eating it, I have to go to the bathroom and press the eject button.. the mince is the worst.
