YOUR OLD mate is constantly amazed at what terribly dour and sad lives some people lead, especially those of the do-gooder persuasion.
An excellent example was the recent wailing and gnashing of teeth by the SPCA at news that sheep piggyback races for children were making a welcome return to this month’s Gore A&P Show after a 30-year absence. This news sparked the clichéd howls of concern from animal welfare types who claimed it was ‘sending the wrong message’ to children. The Hound suggests the SPCA fun-police seriously need to get a life.
