      Horrendous summer. Many dead from fires. California seem to get more press coverage?

      I saw them twice, very lucky to have done so. Just before I heard of WB's death (on Johnny Walker) I paused my music player on a random shuffle song which happened to be Steely Dan's "With a Gun".

      25901 Please clarify your statement, I take it you are talking about fur framing, which is slowly and surely being banned in all country's as Poland has banned and along many other countrys including the US and Canada.

      I mean if it's wild people are up in arms if we kill it but if we farm them, cows, sheep, pigs etc for the table the same peole are ok with that.

      Are you a vegan. I take your point but they are domesticated, by we humans. Vulpes Valpes great at keeping the rat population down and the fruit and grubs. A lot of people think that the red foxes are vermin, I have yet to see proof that they are. I have a great deal respect for the aforementioned animal, as when I go for a walk over the local fields, I have one that likes to follow me from a safe distance.
