Must be a slow news day
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/cumbria/4141352.stm
I know Cumbria isnt the most exciting place in the UK, and its not a very nice story, but surely there are more important things going on that are worth putting on there?

Re: Must be a slow news day
perhaps part of the growing agenda to get air weapons banned?
...which they should be as the vast majority of them are used by scumbags who get their kicks shooting animals and eventually, people.
They could ban the public sale of fireworks while they're at it . I'm surprised no-one in power has noticed that they're the perfect ingredient for home-made terrorist bombs*.
Obviously I'm feeling a little 'Daily Mail' today
*a tad off-topic, but I had to mention somewhere the hilarity of the failed bomber in Italy saying "There were a few nails, but the explosives were not meant to harm, just to make noise"

Re: Must be a slow news day
A few of my distant relatives live in Brampton. Wonder if they were involved.

Re: Must be a slow news day
Mistreatment of animals is a danger sign of a sociopathic personality.

Depends what you mean by mistreatment. Someone who kills / hurts animals badly might have no problems at all.

Re: Must be a slow news day
That's why its a DANGER SIGN not an INFALLIBLE DENOTER.

I think even the expression "danger sign" is over-stating it however, which was my point. There are tens of thousands of people who kill and hurt animals every day and have no problems at all. The vast majority of harm done to animals I'd wager is done by people with absolutley no mental health issues whatsoever.

Re: Must be a slow news day
I had a three-legged cat at one time. (Silver Persian/Tabby mix, lost the leg in a beef with an automobile) Had someone shot him in the head with a pellet gun, I would have kept a serious eye on the person, danger sign over-stated or not.

Considering the proximity of Carlisle and it's environs to Sellafield, this is not as improbable as it may first seem.

On a serious note, my friend's daughter got shot on Tuesday by an airgun. She is eight years old, standing at the bus stop outside her primary school waiting for her parents to pick her up and some twat in a B+B over the road shot her in the leg.
She didn't actually take any damage (pellet hit her on the skirt which was thick denim thank god) but it's fracking ridiculous.
My friend (said girls father) phoned the police and they said they couldn't get anyone out because "the incident room is too busy" but "we'll try to send someone over tomorrow". This guy twat could loose off god knows how many rounds and it may not be just pellets next time.

I wouldn't let my 8 year old daughter go to school in a denim skirt.
