Not really all that surprising. People are terribly ignorant at the best of times and when politicians and the media whip them into a frightened frenzy they get even stupider (hard to belive but it is true). I get pretty pissed when I take my little sweetie out for a trot 'cause most people run away from us, I am not sure whether they are scared of him or me (big stick and all). I have started wearing a santa hat with a bell for my touque and you would think that would make us look a little less scary, but not so you'd notice. I wouldnt mind so much but The Guinness takes it personally and feels really bad when it happens. What those chickens dont know is that he loves them right from the moment he sees them and he will watch them carefully until they are out of sight to ensure nothing bad happens to them. Boy are they missing out on something by being scared.

I have been reading stories on the Internet in the last couple of days about dog rescues and boy does it make my blood boil!!!! There are a lot of people out there that really need to smarten up, the way they treat animals is appalling. Top of the evolutionary pile, my ass!
