Sickening. I for one do NOT forget the individuality of each animal - I almost wish I did because my mind feels permanently disturbed over these issues - but I feel impotent in the face of such indifference to the suffering of farm, circus etc. animals.

It's all a bit hard to appreciate en masse but when you get down to individual creatures it's different: the legislation will mean Anne (who was in a town near me recently and prompted protests, as she always does wherever she goes), 52 years old, arthritic, in captivity for 47 years, the last elephant left in Britain still touring with a circus (Bobby Roberts'), will carry on being shipped from town to town and spending most of her time chained up in fields.
Sorry for intruding - maybe this is for next door. And sorry for being depressing folks - love to all. :-)
