I did, see a couple of posts back. Plus Dolly then explained.
I read the news today oh boy! Page 103

I explained without doing any research. 
I find it much easier just to assume what I think is most likely the truth. (Try it, it'll work for you. 
)
In this country, a 10-year-old can walk into a bait shop, purchase a bunch of live fish and then run hooks through their bodies.

I buy live mussels from there.
It was a styrofoam cup.

And that's . . . nice . . . ? 
How long till he can line the bait up long a fence and shoot them instead??
You can buy live feed in the UK, in the form of locusts.
If you catch a mouse in your house, you are legally obliged to kill it, and must not release it outside. EDIT; PLEASE IGNORE, THIS IS NOT TRUE
You are allowed to shoot pheasants; presumably that's not considered cruel?

If they're not yours that's considered poaching.

What? What if you accidently catch it? i.e. your cat has brought it in. Surely I can release it then?
I doubt they can really police that, so I'd do what you want!
Stupid law.

This country really is embarrassing sometimes.

You've got to hand it to the Express, they really don't give a shit...
'Angry young stand-ups who use bad language and abuse are a big turn-off for many viewers, new research shows. Instead they favour traditional comedians such as Billy Connolly...'
Yes, that purveyor of squeaky clean, suitable-for-children humour, Billy Connolly.
My first issue with that is the labelling of Billy Connolly as a comedian.
I am liking that Jim Davidson is funnier than Ricky Gervais though.
Quote: chipolata @ March 31 2010, 10:20 AM BSTI rather like the ongoing feud the Express has with the Daily Mail. Those guys, who have so many similarities, really hate each other.
It's a personality clash!

That's ridiculous speak. Why would you want to keep it alive?

Why would I want to kill it? It didn't do anything wrong.
I would release it.
Mice are disease-ridden, troublemaking vermin. I would kill it.
I couldn't do it.

I try to save them in a shoebox with some shredded paper in.
