Its human nature to show data in the light that best facilitates getting a new research grant when your contract is up (Aint I cynical;) ) Or in other words; "independent" researchers very seldom bite the hand that feeds them, and on the odd occasion that there is nothing "useful" to report, more often than not, nothing is reported.

It's wrong, it's unfair, but it happens............in the same way that fat people are seen as lazy and stupid, but slim people aren't.

Re: Canadians and the Seal Hunt...
Sorry i'm not biting that one!!! fat or thin people have a choice to be who they are and make judgements on others through there own experiances (hopefully)
Animals have no choice, Humans decide animals fate for different reasons and who am I to judge, doesn't mean I like it. I hope you dont feel like you have to *spell things out* to me, if you read what i wrote you will find I said, people like seals cos there fluffy you re- itterated that and started on about kids and now fat people. I'm sure you believe what point you are trying to make is valid, but unless you come to it I am at a loss to see what it is! Oh, unless that point would be the one I originally made, if so it would mean you are trying to pick a fight, and i'm not sure I can be bothered with that! |

No - not picking a fight at all....sorry if it appeared that way. I think we have mis-read the intention behind each other's posts....apologies! I was stating how unfair it is that these comparisons are, inevitably, made...........I thought you misunderstood.

No apologies needed, I too was just trying to say that comparisons shouldn't be made.. after all a life is a life and valid whether its a bug or bison, Maybe I should try to be clearer in my posts in the future:o
