	Jane...... The mind boggles when you think about the way in which people keep animals. A few years ago I was staying in a hotel in the suburbs of Paris. Nearby was a complex of shops. One eve I went for a walk and passed what I thought was a hairdressers and then in the front window was a cage. I stopped and noticed that there were six or seven kittens - all needing homes. What upset me was that one of them was disabled - had a deformed leg and I just wanted to go and rescue him. Poor little soul. The cage was so small and because he wasn't very mobile, he was having problems.

Member Since: May 2007 Posts: 25,620 Send Message	I always get upset if there is anything bad or sad about animals Catie.In yesterdays local paper the headline was "Horse Dies in Horrific Crash".I got my son to tear it out of the paper so that I couldn't see it.I know that sounds extreme,but I could not read the paper knowing I would see that article.If OH knew I had got James to rip that out he would have thought I was bonkers lol. I don't like the way my neighbour keeps their chickens!!I'll say no more other wise my soapbox will be getting higher and higher lolol.I might fall off.

Member Since: March 2010 Posts: 1,101 Send Message	Jane: Try 'Rootschat' for your research. I've got on really well with them; very, very, helpful and easy to get on with even if you post things that are fairly obvious!! and even asking the same question twice, as we all do at times! doesn't seem to faze them, patience seems to be their bye-word, throughly reccommend the site.
