Wimpish parent Outrage

Some over sensitive kids and their peculiar parents have been outraged by a duck shoot.
Full story here. Some of the comments make you despair.

Children were said to have returned home in tears after seeing wildfowl shot and dogs retrieving their lifeless bodies.



One dad, Ray Poolman, 49, told the Daily Mail that his horrified 10 year-old daughter was distraught after what she'd witnessed."She thought she was going to a bird-watching place but it turns out it was a shoot," he said.

I think she is quite old enough to handle a bit of reality

A letter had been sent home by the school informing parents that the 22 children would watch a "flight", but Mr Poolman said it did not say children would witness birds being shot:"I have since spoken to some of my friends who go shooting and they told me that 'flight' means 'shoot'. I thought the kids would be watching the birds coming into roost or migrating."My daughter came home absolutely distraught and in floods of tears. I was absolutely unaware that it was a shoot, otherwise she wouldn't have been there. There's no way it's an educational trip."It shouldn't have been arranged by teachers in school time. I can't believe they put children in that environment. What if something had gone wrong?"

Nothing went wrong. Grow a pair Tony! I think it is more educational than say, facebook and other crap.


Mrs Stapleton defended the trip, telling the newspaper: "This is an annual trip which has taken place for several years."It is not compulsory - it is entirely up to individuals and parents must return a signed permission slip before their child can go.


"All the children indicated at the end of the visit that they had thoroughly enjoyed it.

Just think of the outrage if those shooters were seen smoking or sipping from hip flasks as well!
