Brian May: the deer cull was humane / parliamentary year book
A cull of senile guitarists is called for - along with surplus badgers which have now reached vermin levels and are living in cesspits of infection
Brian May says he bought the forest to protect it from development. Is this true? I would have thought that forest land was not the first choice for building due to the cost of clearance and the danger of land heave having removed the trees. It is, or was, a very good investment for tax purposes though.
Whilst Soysauce may be right about enough space in Texas, the people would no doubt starve as the land and water supply would not support sufficient food production. In Africa the problem is not space but lack of water and soil erosion.
No, the problem with Africa is not lack of water or soil erosion it is lead at high speed flying around. There is plenty of water and soil around - its just that the locals don't seem to be able to work with other tribes.
Take Ethiopia for instance. We all remember the TV with very emotive images of starving children due to lack of water and therefore food. Of course what was not told at the time - and even now - is that Northern Ethiopia was - and is - a verdant lush, well watered agricultural area. Unfortunately there was a civil war going on and the northern part of Ethiopia was using starvation as a means of waging war.
You can see the same thing repeated across Africa. If the water resources and land was used to benefit all, then there would be no starvation at all. In fact - and having spend quite a long time in various African countries - the majority of Africa could be a paradise if they could stop trying to murder each other.
There are three things that I know about Brian May:
1. He is a fine musician.
2. He is correct about the inefficacy of attempting to restrict the occurrence of bovine tuberculosis by the culling of badgers.
3. For forty years or so, he has worn a variation of the hair do of Sir Isaac Newton.
That's good enough for me.
Those who condemn deer culling offer no alternative - and some seem to be in denial of the facts, namely that deer will rapidly multiply to the point where the available land cannot provide the food to sustain their numbers. Paul McCartney adopted the anti-cull position - and the RSPCA raised concerns over the number of starving deer on his land.
So, anti-cullers, ignoring all the totally irrelevant side issues, enlighten us as to precisely how you deal with too many starving deer?
We used to live in a small village, and every now and again from our kitchen window, we would see our neighbor hurriedly carting deer into his house. Followed by bundles of pigeon, pheasant and rabbits. He'd sell them, among other places, to the local pub, whose menu was titled " The Poachers Dish".
Living in Lala-Land. There's nothing wrong in shooting deer sport or otherwise. They are butchered and sold for consumption and have a far better quality of life than animals intensively bred for food. Using contraception on animals is just pure nuts especially when we are trying to reduce the volume of female hormones entering the natural world upsetting the balance of rivers.
Just another Champagne nutter with more money than sense.
Should humans be culled? Apparently their population is at least twice what is sustainable, there are massive food shortages in some countries, diseases such as TB and AIDS are spreading, they are desperate for energy to keep their civilisation going, always fighting wars over land and religion...
That photo at the top is probably the worst bit of photoshopping I've ever seen, but if Brian May wants us to think that's the way he really wants his hair, that's fine by me.
Right, Brian, so when you reach the end of your economic usefulness - which some may say is already the case - you presumably won't mind having your brains blown out with a hunting rifle while you're feeding or having a drink in the woods? A pleasant, dignified end.
