because it's so shocking, mikey, and it's a Brit trait to make light of a distant tragedy.......

[agchristie]

Mikey,better than personal attacks surely which you were on the receiving end at least twice today?

[jourdain2]

And also because the OP tried, in typically British fashion, to lighten it.

I must admit I find the humour distasteful, animal suffering is not really funny in the slightest.

[mikey4444]

Agchristie....yes perhaps, but that person has now been suspended, and not before time.

I still can't see the need for such poor jokes about this sad affair and I don't accept for one second that it is some kind of British trait. This is a disaster for the Sami people.

Would we be attempting some kind of weird gallows humour if 300 Dartmoor ponies had been killed ? I don't think so.

I am with Prudie here. I find it distasteful as well.

[jambutty]

Not funny at all imo. Poor things.
