“In response to lambsy who asked the relevance of the century we are in! It’s because practices that were deemed relevant in the 19th Century were broadly dispensed with in the 20th C with a few noteworthy exceptions, this being one imho, and with us now being in the 21st century I and I stress I believe that the use of stink pits is wholly unacceptable, I can however understand your nit picking as it is your way“


Not nit picking, it just puzzles me, and by no means have you been the first of only person to do this; but I wonder why the century we are in is deemed to be relevant as if we are supposed to be more sophisticated now or something! We’ve had plenty of supposedly advanced civilisations over the years; Egyptians, Greeks, The Enlightenment and so on; are we supposed to be fundamentally different because of the era we live in? Has something changed in our psyches or DNA in short space of time that would expect that we no longer gain a thrill or reward from hunting? What makes people think we should have changed so fundamentally in such a short space of time? How the 21st century supposed to make us significantly different to the 1st century?
