Animal Lovers? Total indifference.

Britain is, by all accounts a Nation of Shopkeepers foremost, but also a Nation of animal lovers. Presumably we all run pet shops.
I on the other hand see animals as essential elements in the food chain. Not all animals, obviously. I draw the line at eating dogs, but our Korean friends don't have that distinction. Besides, dogs are useful animals, loyal, trustworthy, hardworking, and have multiple roles in guarding other animals, herding, search and rescue, drugs and law enforcement etc. So it would be rather unfair to eat them when they retire.
Cats on the other hand I would happily eat. They are smug, arrogant little gits, with no useful purpose in life. What's more, they bury their shit like landmines, so that when you are doing the gardening you suddenly grab a handful. At least dogs leave it where it can be seen - on the pavement, for joggers to tread in. Cats are however smarmy creatures, which come over all playful and cuddly when they want a feed - just before they disappear for the night, probably out getting fed somewhere else. But foolish people love them it would seem.
It came as something of a surprise then to learn that I was not the only one with the same indifference towards cats. Someone, and he shall remain nameless to protect his identity, sent me a U Tube clip of a cat, accidentally coming into contact with an electric fence. He rightly thought I would be amused by this. At the time of writing over 1.1 million people have viewed this clip. 2,049 of them liked it. 2506 disliked it. In other words, just 0.4% had any opinion whatsoever. Either the others are undecided or are totally indifferent. Perhaps those that like it watched it more than once, so that might skew the figures a little. What I find most bizarre though is that the sort of people who are obviously cat lovers and disliked the video clip, took the time out to search for it on U Tube, then watched it. Hmmm, I'm at a lose end, I know, I'll search for a video of a cat walking into an electric fence, I might enjoy that. Oh no, that was awful. I wonder if there are any others that I might enjoy more? No, well, having watched several I'm outraged. I didn't enjoy those at all.
I own neither a cat, nor an electric fence, hence it was a rare treat for me to see an innocent creature struck by miniature lightening. I can only assume that over a million people see this so often that it becomes common place and unworthy of further thought or comment.
Any way, i must go now. I've just had a thought. I wonder if U tube has any clips of dogs pissing up electric fences?
