what's that story about what's grey and comes in buckets

From a quick search i found this breeding age for Ugandan (not Asian but they don`t know human rules) elephants.This is one observation ...

Observations on the breeding behavior of the African elephant (Loxodonta africana) in Uganda show that some wild females begin to breed at approximately 7 years and all females breed by approximately 11 years of age.

The Greens say they have received information

What is it with these pollies (aaarrkk, polly want a cracker) that they focus on events like this? I know, they want to be seen to be doing something, when in their own minds they don`t really care.Can you see through them, can you see through you, can you see through me?

Maybe if politicians are serious about elephant welfare they would throw some polly muss at the poachers.

The remains of slaughtered elephants lie amidst the trees near Zakouma National Park in southeastern Chad. Mike Fay, a Wildlife Conservation Society biologist on a National Geographic Society-funded expedition, spotted the animals in early August””two of about a hundred dead elephants seen during a recent aerial survey just outside the park's borders (National Geographic News is part of the National Geographic Society).

Focus on more important issues politician!!!!!

The Anglo-Nubian Goat is quite a stunner. A majestic bearing and milk is high in butterfat and protein. Male weighs in at up to 140Kgs and female 110Kgs - quite a weighty goat: http://www.anglo-nubian.org.uk/the_breed.htm

Sad news from Northern Ireland today, "Headless Lions discovered at Park" http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/7267714.stm

One of the most sickening things I have ever watched was last night on a cooking programme a duck being forcefed .
Shame on us as human beings for allowing our desire for fat duck livers to permit such a cruelty.

You tell them Julia! This website shows the terrible force feeding methods used and an organization that is trying to bring this to public attention: http://www.all-creatures.org/anex/duck.html

One answer is "refuse to eat duck or goose".
