It seems to me that if PALEIF is aware of such an offense he is
obliged to inform the police and will be committing an offense if
he does not do so.
Have you informed the police, if not then why are you telling us
all about this ?
I'll bet you have not even told the RSPCA who have the authority to
act and arrest.

Ummm, PALEIF has denied he/she implied animal cruelty by KFC, despite making that implication rather clear in his/her first post: The 2 sentences on the subject were written in a way that enables PALEIF to squirm out out the "implied" cruelty accusation.

However, there's no doubt Foot And Mouth Disease is serious subject matter, as is "genuine" cases of cruelty towards animals both in business and domestic situations.

The poster here, who uses the screen name PALE&IF, is a liability to the worthy cause of animal protection.

It is obvious to me that there is a genuine apology to Nicky.
It is equally obvious that posters are neither really interested in the topic regarding FMD nor do they show any real interest in the overall cruelty to the chicken in slaughter houses.

IMOP the comments made are solely directed at the Author of the tread,
and may I add have absolutely or little relevance to what is supposed to be discussed.

G'day socky, we missed ya.

Bugsy, I'll take it as more than coincidence that you mean me, now that I have discovered i've psuedonymed myself a brand of socks. If it ever snowed up here (or that I had shopped for socks in recent memory) I may have picked up on your note quicker. Cheers.

Having said all that if you were refering to someone else, well lets just put this post down to F in MD.
