First it was steak...now bird shows...what will these insatiable pests target next in their bid to remove all fun from the world? William Sitwell has got very upset about Darlington animal rights folk getting a bird of prey show banned and has written about it in the Daily Telegraph, inadvertedly giving Paul, Kate & Shane a good chuckle. The trio also discuss several other news stories in this week's round-up of ten animal rights & vegan headlines from around the world.
