Guga , young gannet chicks, are considered a delicacy by the villagers from Ness, on the Isle of Lewis .About this time every year boatloads of men from Ness sail thirty miles to the uninhabited island of Sula Sgeir, where thousands of gannets spend the summer nesting on cliff faces , to hunt /murder the young guga.
The animal rights group Advocates for Animals is trying to get the hunt banned in the European Court . The group’s campaign director Ross Minnet told the London Independent last Saturday "The brutal and totally unnecessary guga hunt belongs back in the dark ages and has no place in a modern, 21st-century Scotland. It belongs in the pages of history books.”

Anyone really believe that conditions are 'improving' in Iraq? The US and the UK appear to be growing weary of the expense and difficulty of war and noises off from the msm are that the job is done and other fatuous nonsense of that sort. The oil may very well be secured - well, as much as it can be, but life for Iraqis is absolutely dire. ... read full story / add a comment

There are interesting things to read about the Church worldwide every day even if you are not an active member of the Church or even a Catholic for that matter. ... read full story / add a comment
