Noticed today that The Animal Liberation Front decided in there wisdom to free all the wild owls at a zoo in Norfolk.As most of them were exotic birds from abroad along with some home species they have no chance of surviving long.Whatever your feelings on Zoos etc this was a stupid act.I went to Cotswold Park last week and didnt realise what a success they have in breeding endangered animals,although its not nice seeing animals such as Leopards cooped up in cages,theres better ways of helping animals plights,letting them out to starve to death isnt one ime sure.

When I was a kid my Dad new a bloke that had a Lion in a Cage at the back of a Pub in Yeovil.Poor thing,though it was kinda neat at the time.I got chased by some Pigs once ,much scarier than Lions.

Do you mean the police Yeovil!

Nah Piggy Wiggys.

Getting chased by a herd of cows is quite scary.

Whats the word for lots of pigs?

Herd Yeovil...as in Swineherd.
