I don't understand your comment about 'Get over it'. I was never 'under it' - I opened a subject for conversation, which has proved to be of interest.

I've not pointed fingers or posted in a hysterical way - all I've done is point to information and also share some of my own experiences.

As for Greg's comment about the meat industry - i did respond, if you look back. I agree there's not much the RSPCA could have done - but don't agree that they are wasting their time there. Or that the event is innocuous. Have you been? As I said - I've been several times - have ridden horses there and swum one in the river - so I'm not speaking as a total outsider. I'm by no means against the event - but nor do I view it with rose tinted spectacles. If you read my posts you would have seen that i actually spent my wedding night (well, part of it) at a traveller's camp - on their way back from Appleby, as it happens.

Please don't speak to me as if I've called for it to be banned - or for anything similar - because I haven't. Read before you write, please.
