I thought these tips were spot on.

Summertime... and the living is easy!

Follow our top 10 tips for a Cruelty-Free Summer!


Invite your friends round for a veggie BBQ - show them how easy it is
to feast al fresco with delicious veggie burgers, bangers, vegetable
kebabs, baked potatoes and scrumptious salads. The only sizzling flesh
should be found on the beach! Keep cool by serving delicious
dairy-free 'ice cream' or sorbet for afters. (See our veggie recipe
collection for more ideas.)

Dogs die in hot cars - whenever possible, avoid taking your pooch on a
trip if you will have to leave him or her in the car. But if it's
unavoidable, park in the shade, leave all the windows partially open
and preferably place a sturdy bowl of water on the floor (or a towel
in case it gets knocked over!). Get back as soon as you possibly can.

Only buy non-animal tested suntan lotions - available from the Animal
Aid online shop, or contact us for a list of cruelty-free
manufacturers.

Unwanted visitors to your garden can be humanely deterred. There's no
need to kill slugs, bugs and creepie crawlies! Clever planting can
actually keep snails away - they don't like geraniums, pelargonium,
fuchsia and lobelia. All these summer bedding plants are available at
garden centres.

We all know how cruel bull-fighting is but when on holiday also steer
clear of other local 'attractions' such as zoos, aquariums and shows
that use dolphins, whales, parrots, sea lions, or any other animals.
'Nature reserves' and 'wildlife parks' are often far from what the
names imply - they are frequently collections of captive mammals,
birds, reptiles and fish, taken from the wild and kept in small cages
or enclosures, which are a pathetic substitute for their natural
habitat.

Don't buy trinkets and souvenirs made from dead marine life such as
coral, starfish and seahorses… or even shells - remember, someone used
to live in each and every one!

Birds and mammals need water, which can sometimes be difficult to find
in the hot summer months. Leave tubs of water tucked under bushes for
small ground-dwelling creatures to drink from, and if you have room, a
bird bath makes an attractive feature as well as providing water for
birds to drink and splash about in.

Litter poses a serious threat to animals (wild and otherwise). They
get tangled up, cut by, stuck in and even choked by discarded plastic,
glass bottles, drink cans and other human debris. Pick up and throw
away any rubbish you come across before it injures anyone - or carry a
plastic bag to collect it in and dispose of safely.

Save the humble worm! Earth worms are a vital part of keeping our
environment and food chain healthy. So don't squash them - pick them
up and put them back on the earth so they can get on with doing what
they're here to do.

Email this list to your friends and family - if everyone follows these
small steps we'll make a world of difference to the animals.

You're an idiot. You wouldn't know "spot on" if I painted "Spot On"
on a 4x4, and bashed you in your fat, slack-jawed face with it.

1) Tell everyone the Trolls don't bother you.
2) Say you've killfiled them, yet continue to respond.
3) Tell other people off who repsond despite doing so yourself.
4) Continually talk about Trolls while maintaining
they're having no effect.
5) Publicly post killfile rules so the Trolls know
how to avoid them.
6) Make lame legal threats and other barrel scraping
manoeuvres when your abuse reports are ignored.
7) Eat vast quantities of pies.
8) Forget to brush your teeth for several decades.
9) Help a demon.local poster with their email while
secretly reading it.
10) Pretend you're a hard ******* when in fact you're
as bent as a roundabout.
11) Become the laughing stock of Usenet like Mabbet

What splendid ideas, I thought, heading for the nearest
organic farm for my veggies. Imagine my disappointment when
I was told that they not only failed to use worm-friendly
ploughing but actually admitted to killing thousands of
these lovable and harmless creatures annually as they tilled
the soil. How barbaric!

Next stop the organic salad, only to be told that the
lettuces were protected by placing lethal beer traps for
beautiful and friendly slugs and snails that were, after
all, only doing what comes naturally. I was not to be
consoled by the thought of these deserving creatures dying
in an alcoholic stupor and probably knew little of the
atrocious crimes being committed against them.

Finally, now desperate for something to eat, round to the
supermarket for those lovely burgers, bangers and kebabs,
made with not an ounce of flesh, just pure Brazilian Soya.
Questioning the manager revealed that the soy plants came
straight from the Matto Grosso and only a few sorry forest
Indians and their families had to die in order to produce
it. Well, I suppose I can live with that. After all, if it
means saving a few slugs and worms back home........Yummy,
delicious indeed.

don't think they study tall stories saunby.

Too many to list, Ms. Bee. You should try contacting
Greenpeace or WWF if you actually want to know about this
human tragedy. But you don't want to know, do you? Forest
Indians eat birds and monkeys, so it has to be good news if
we replace them with Soya "factories", right?
