Thanks, Simon: I will look forward to your comments.
Let me make my points clear. Yes, I think the newspaper printed an inappropriate article. No, I do not think sitting on the back of a crock is reason for criminal punishment. Yes, I think it is stupid. No, I do not think laws are necessary to replace personal responsibility. Yes, I think laws are appropriate to protect people from other people's irresponsibility. No, I do not think feeding or sitting on the back of a crock is molesting or harming it as it is very capable of stopping that on its own without the help of legislation.
And, if one advocates such legislation, which I do not, it should be applied equally to activities of similar danger, if danger is the logic, or to molesting of any wild animal, if that is the logic - not just to activities that one does not participate in or enjoy themselves.
I have no objection to protecting endangered animals from killing or harm that could cause their extinction.
I have yet to read a report on a crock dying from a pretty lady sitting on its back.
