Hi Barbara

I did see the video of the chimps. How cruel to keep them locked up without access to the daylight :shock: I think it's unethical to use chimps for experiments ( I think these were in Austria ) It's just the same as if you kept a group of human beings locked up to experiment on.

Here's a link to the video:

I like one of the comments underneath the video:

''millions of years ago..... our ancestors saw daylight for the first time.... now billions of years later, we shall do the same! or maybe tomorrow.....''

Some hope, I fear :roll:

My cat, Tommy Tucker.
Awwww, I love him to bits

joanlawson

You wouldn't want to play with this particular pussycat anyway

He's a tough guy, having lived rough for years before he decided that his roaming days were over. He appeared out of no-where on my doorstep seven years ago and told me that he had selected me from hundreds to be his new slave. However, he made it plain that he wasn't your ordinary cuddly cat, so he has to be handled with care. I still love him though, even if he does still give me the odd scratch or bite to let me know that he's boss :roll:
