He's just written a book about his childhood, which will be published in October, simply called, "Paw Tracks" Did you read his first book, "Paw Tracks in the Snow"? No, I am recovering from this one. Hmm. This makes me apprehensive about reading it. Does it have abuse, cruelty, or death that could have been prevented in it? I can deal with illnesses that are unavoidable, or death from old age. I'm intrigued by this book but I don't want anything in my head that will haunt me for years. No there is no cruelty only a wonderful story about someone who loves their cats more than anything and they have a great home. So it made you cry because it was so sweet? Read it yourself. Tweed |

Was it the veal, or the black pudding? Or the langoustine? Or was it the fishing? clever, you sussed out which programme... ... [it was] the fishing. I eat fish. I eat meat but not only do I not want to see it in it's death throws, I really don't want to see it treated cruelly in those last minutes such as how it was handled by it's gill and then the identity label attached through it's body and it gasped it's last breath. Your judgement must have been a little clouded by the pictures. An identity tag was fitted to the sea bass, *and then it was released back into the sea*! I was somewhat surprised at the handling method as well, because I thought it would surely kill the fish - but apparently not! The tag was fitted so that the fish could be traced, when it is caught again. I try to eat line-caught wild fish, rather than trawled or farmed, if at all possible. Responsible fishermen will use something called a priest to stun and kill a line-caught fish that is destined for a plate, rather than allowing them to suffocate. I'm thinking of complaining to the BBC. Something I have never done in my life but maybe it's time I did. If it had been a mammal it wouldn't have been shown. Fish can feel pain too. Try http://www.bbc.co.uk/pov to state your case. -- MatSav |

What I meant to say was that it is probably difficult for me explain what made me cry, there is no abuse in it, and if you read it yourself you will most likely see what I mean. I was very touched by it. Tweed |
