Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

It has been our ascribing of special qualities for want of a better expression, or our ability to separate ourselves from the other species that are in part responsible for our atrocious treatment of them.


The justification, or excuse is often, although not usually explicit, “they’re just animals.”



If we accepted that in all probability we are an animal too without any special qualities then perhaps we might treat the other species differently. Of course, when confronted with the science some people, not all people by any means consciously accept we are animals then completely forget, dismiss, this at some other level of consciousness and carry on treating and believing that humans are in some way superior and have some kind of right to abuse the rest of the species and the environment they inhabit.

I cannot think of one skill the human race is so proud of that is not replicated to a higher standard in other species except perhaps language but already studies are suggesting that even this may not be true.

I’m going to pass my soap box over to Treacle now. I think he has a word or two (or should that be vocalisation. We wouldn’t want him talking now would we) to say on the subject.


Spose I better get some pics for tax now.

Thank you for taking on this discussion for me. It is a little far afield from my request but that is what we do here. I am grateful.

Is it possible that the GHE just prior to this photo was head down and up to her neck in spaghetti sauce?
There are some indications of such a possibility on her snow-white feathers.
There are bibs for that problem - they hand them out in lobster places.
Just saying.

Ok, so on MJ's thread, Bob asked to see a picture of me in mediaeval garb. This post is rather long so I've plonked it on Bob's thread, as he asked (plus I got myself confused as to which thread I should be on!) Anyway, mediaeval SCA photos from eons ago (ACM may be willing to share a couple too!). One of them is rather obviously "buxom"; I will hide it under a spoiler. I've included some general ones so that you get the idea. (I've scanned them in so the quality isn't necessarily that great). I sewed most of my costumes myself.

Some of (a very young) me:

Spoiler: Warning - buxomness ahead! :)

And of course, the obligatory chicken tax.

Sorry about that @LozzyR I didn't mean to rant over your lovley pictures.
Do you still do this and if not why not? It looks like a lot of fun.

I like Donk.

I like Donk to.........unless I'm rolling down some bank in the pissing rain trying to get her off one of her nest.

I zoomed in on her face. Mistake. She does not seem happy.

Well, honestly! I would like to see what your face looked like if you were her size and had been attacked by a hawk three times!

O yes. She was a "saucy" lady and had been beak deep in some spaghetti . Her favorite food. The most amazing thing about Daisy's, the greatest hen ever, feathers were that they were totally sauce repellent. After a spaghetti feast all she had to do was shake and the sauce flew off and she was as white as ever. No staining ever occurred. If only my white shirts reacted the same as her feathers.

I thought she was more like my Mum and hated having her picture taken!

You will give that a decent burial, won’t you?
