Half of British children 'unable to identify crocodiles & leopards'

I found this article interesting because even though I grew up on the Southside of Chicago, every summer a trip to Brookfield Zoo and Field Museum was taken. Articles like this make me wonder if hunting has much chance of continuing with the next generation.

P'raps they should have asked the questions in something like Urdhu, Rumanian or some other obscure illegal immigrant language........

Yes! And my boy could at age 6 tell a blue from a black wildebeest, a white from a black rhino, a hartebeest from a tsessebe etc etc etc...

but I suppose because he's a hunter those same little ignorant angels will one day be calling him the savage! Roll Eyes

Unfortunately you're not far wrong Sahakari, where I work in langley I'm probably in the 5% minority of white british people and I work with 1300 people. Even more unfortunate is the fact that most school kids don't even know where pork and beef come from, they think it's tescos!!!!

Paul,

Wot, you mean it doesn't grow wild on supermarket shelves!!

Like I've said before, Wink

As John Betjemin said:

Come friendly bombs fall on slough,
It isn't fit for humans now.

Funnily enough I drove through there a while ago and the place was full of people dressed like extras from a Dracula movie..... turned out they were Rumanian immigrants!

To coin a phrase, I felt like a stranger in a strange land! Eeker
