Yup, seeing the purse seine netting of mackerel or watching salmon farming documentaries should put anyone off spending money at the fish counter! 

 

Frankly, I think keeping dogs should be banned because of the issues of fecal pollution, noise pollution, carbon footprint implications (haha), and causing fear of physical harm. But I don't run the world so my opinion is worth diddly squat. 

Also cats, they kill about 1000x more birds every year than the wind turbines people protest about... 😉

Official UK govt statistics?

I think that cats rarely catch large birds, maybe a wood pigeon, but more likely smaller.

The main problem is desecration of wild areas as we strive to cover the UK with tarmac, houses, roads, railways.

But then we'll all want robot cats, budgies, hamsters, stick insects and electric sheep. Just think of all the e-waste!

Smartphone, pah. In this brave new world the kids will be petting virtual poodles and watching fake hamsters go round in wheels via a $3.5k Apple headset.
