Quite annoyed, I just had to reply, so I sat and ranted a reply back to this stupid topic only to find after trying to submit it, it had been locked :evil:

I do understand why you did it as i'm sure it could have got right out of hand and so think you made the right decision, that topic certainly ruffled my feather. :x

[Porffor]

That's why though ((hugs)) let it go hun, and rise above it.

[Wildeone]

some people just like to get peoples backs up it would of said more if his silly post had got no replies at all! :roll:

I do understand and think you got it just in time...well done for that.

Still, can't help putting the gob in gear before the brain either

its all down to the individual, as too what pets they have and how they treat them.

so not everyone understands us chicken huggers.

i personally dont see the point or would want to keep, snakes, spiders, iguana's or stick insects.

but those who do love their animals.

we like our chooks, and we like chatting to like minded people.

i think we should all send happy thoughts to those who havent had the joy of keeping chickens or that lovely feeling each morning when they repay our kindness and attention with fresh eggs.

we're a happy jolly bunch of people and maybe its best not to let people wind us up because they arent as happy as us.

[muntjac]

so now we hope  :roll:  :roll: that subject is closed then?
 

[kattcottrell]

ok  

[henpecked]

I was very disappointed that it was locked...I think it was a perfectly valid topic and question and although possibly posed to cause friction I really feel that people should have the opportunity to reply. I feel a little (actually VERY) patronised that it was locked so soon, before it had a chance!

[muntjac]

sorry but after the problems with other posts made by kizza i am not prepared to let this one go the same way ,i am not here to serve anybodies ego and i am sorry if you feel " patronised " by my actions but that it is my resposibility to make the site run in such a way as to keep it the best in the country ,which it is ,,,,

[Aunt Sally]

I feel absoultly no need to justify how I treat my chickens.  In my eyes they have the PERFEGGT life. That's all that matters to me  

If other people can't understand it that's their problem  

[poultrygeist]

Can't imagine why anyone WOULDN'T understand the need to personify any creature that is kept as a pet. Last time I was in a pet shop someone had some spidery things in a box. Now THAT'S just wrong !!  :shock:

But chooks learn where their food comes from same as a cat or rabbit and will treat you with reverence as long as you keep feeding.
