Barbaric French Glue Hunting of Birds

[durhamplumber]

"""French hunters counter that glue-trapping is not only selective, but is a long tradition woven into French culture. Glue trapping involves pasting sticky adhesives like birdlime to tree branches to catch songbirds. The birds, mostly thrushes and blackbirds, are then caged to lure other birds, which are shot by hunters:"""..Evil
Using glue sticks to catch birds has been outlawed in Europe since the 1979 Bird Directive, except in specific circumstances where the practice is “controlled, selective and in limited quantities”. Since 1989, France has invoked these circumstances to permit glue-trapping in five south-east departments on the grounds that it is “traditional”.

Even Keith Floyd turned his nose up at some French dishes.

Isn't all meat production barbaric?

Chickens are often not stunned effectively before slaughter.

Keeping cows pregnant is controversial too.

What about slaughtering baby male cows at birth?

Don't be hypocrites!

Kebabs are alright though?

Any one who eats.meat is hypocritical.

But there are limits to black birds

Whaling and all. The other cruel nasty practices that the French and others practice.

At least we have laws against it

The measure of any civilised country is the animal. Cruelty laws it has in place

As for Hypocrit take a look. In the mirror

It’s their own fault, they shouldn’t taste so good.

I don't see why you can't be 'for' animal rights and eat meat without being a hypocrite. Animals eating each other is a natural process. Where humans get it very wrong is in the factory farming processes that knowingly cause unnecessary suffering just for profit.

Thankfully brexit means we can now end the live export of animals. I see nothing wrong with 'for instance' the slaughter of a lamb/sheep for food, but that process should be as close to the farm and as quick and painless as possible. To transport it thousands of miles so as it can be religiously slaughtered in a far away land, in a method against our hard fought animal rights legislation is just wholly wrong.

We should now boycott the EU until their animal rights rise to the standard of ours.

At the end of the day they're foreigners, few, if any of their standards will ever rise to ours, never have, never will. The future will be interesting.

Until we can cheaply grow meat protein there is going to be a time when the animal is killed. The aim should be to give the animals a good life and fast and as low pain as possible death.

force feeding an animal as part of its life doesn’t really work with that idea

While The Conservative Party manifesto says the UK would be able to ban live shipments post Brexit, it has not officially pledged to do so.

Labour has accused the Government of having one rule for them and another for everyone else after exempting Boxing Day hunts from Covid restrictions outside Tier 4. Hundreds of hunts are scheduled to take place today.
New research has revealed that the Conservatives and Boris Johnson have taken over £1 million from donors linked to hunting.

Do you trust this government to enact what it has not pledged to do. It can't keep its promises. It's vague intentions are probably merely hooks on which to hang their Brexit 'benefits'.
