    Farmed Haggis - a threat to Scotland's natural beauty

    Alarming developments in haggis-farming are now causing concern for Scotland's natural environment and landscape, as this latest report shows -

    The film shows the wee timorous beastie as never before in such close-up detail, and its cute sonsie face. And the difference between the wild original and the tame domestic varieties is clear to see.

    How times have changes since our Rabbie penned his immortal words...

    We need to take action now! And while we are at it we should ban that nasty destructively corrosive chemical Hydrogen2Oxygen that is slowing wearing away all the mountains in Scotland!

    Aaaaaaaaaaand then, some will escape, or perhaps "encouraged" to escape by the Animal Liberation types , just like the mink and then surprise surprise there will be panic calls from the very same people that something must be done to protect the native flora a fauna! At huge expense to our native wildlife and the taxpayer. Only joking? Of course, in this case -------------- but-------------------its already happened for real, in other cases.

    You are absolutely correct Jock. I don’t know if you have any Snakehead fish there (yet). We are getting infested with them. It’s believed they were deliberately released as they are considered a delicacy in a large Asian country. Problem is they are voracious feeders and they have no predators here. So they are at the top of the food chain.
