I’m not sure if its even possible to “force” a vegan diet on any child above the age of 8-10 (when they can go out on their own and source other “non right on” food from other places). it will certainly be impossible to do so as soon as they are at late junior school or early high school ages. It might even be downright illegal under the EU / UN rights of the child especially if a kid suffers any form of physical or even mental health problems (because of family conflict) and NHS/Social Services pick this up.

Sadly I think I’ve seen so called “tolerant/hippy” families even risk losing their kids because of this and then they start teaming up with all the tinfoil hat conspiracy theorists ranting on about the nanny state trying to force their kids to eat meat.

I’m British Asian but of mixed Chinese/Fillipino/Indian ancestry and some of my ancestors had vegetarian diets, others are meat eaters. Even the carnivores have a culture of respect for the creatures they eat, and some came from jungles where humans weren’t always top of the food chain, as there are animals there what will eat you!

its not uncommon in the mountainous areas of Asia – as their faith groups believe the body is an empty vessel after life and it is also way too much effort to dig graves in rocky soil.

impressive that they actually prepare the body and some folk ensure not just vultures but all the other birds found in that part of the world get their fair share!

Ancient Britons used to do that as well. leave the dead to the animals and reclaim the bones afterwards.

There were still large populations of European brown bear, Wolves and Lynx in those days 😉

it was more habitat destruction than hunting which wiped out these creatures. Some historian chaps told me and my mates that most of the North for instance other than York didn’t even exist until the 17th century. You had Lincolnshire, York, and the rest was all woods and then you got to Scotland. Even modern day Scotland is sparesely populated compared to the rest of the UK.

TBH from some of the pics Raj and co have shown of their parties and the surroundings all you need to do is go to Scotland! there are still bears in EU –

SE 2000
FI 1200
EE 700
NO 70

and about 3000 in former YU countries..

but only 3 people have been fatally injured by bears in these countries in the last century, so they are not as bad as made out to be.. Scotland was once a good place for finding the strongest bears, but not sure if modern day Scots would want to encounter these whilst walking the dog..

yes, there are certainly some in Wales (and in other private collections). My friends went exploring when there was a rave there, saw a fenced off area where signs said “DANGER KEEP OUT / PERYGL CADWCH ALLAN” – of course they thought they’d peer over it to see what was there, until they saw the wolves..

All 5 of them ran away like little boys, and were not ashamed to admit they did so. these were grown men in their 20s :laugh_at:.
