Jousting, sheep racing, fishing, donkey rides and ferret racing are some of the activities advertised for the Robin Hood Country Show, in Southend.
The show's website refers to “all aspects of country living, including country sports such as fishing and shooting.” So, it comes as no surprise, this show supports the abuse of animals for sport.
Animals are living, breathing, sentient individuals.
They are not here for Our Entertainment.
