Yes true, Knight. When animals are in trouble, people are very sorry and care.
When they are NOT in trouble, people are very happy to send them to the slaughterhouse, let them be packaged into little square trays, buy them at the supermarket -and eat them!
The weather is -particularly unusual this year in my area of the UK. It is common to get a milder spell just around Christmas time, before the cold weather starts again in January. But....this time it is very different. I have seen too many 'signs of Spring' which started to happen well before the winter solstice. Daffodils and Snowdrops have started to flower, and at the same time summer roses are still in bloom! I have heard a Blackbird singing. (unheard of at this time of year.) And the grass is growing a lot. Soon I will need to mow the lawn!
Some trees have not completely lost their Autumn leaves....and yet I have seen new buds. It is all very topsy-turvy.
