23rd November. Probably The Most Pathetic Thing In The World.

A cockerel with brain damage. That was the diagnosis anyway from Mr W. the vet, who injected it with something that so far hasn't proved lethal.

Yes bullying has proved a very serious matter. Repeated pecking on the head by it's siblings has caused some sort of brain spin or a degeneration something akin to an overlong career in heavyweight boxing.

I can feel another ethical dilemma coming on for Isabelle, who always hopes for a recovery in order to avoid 'playing god'.

Mr W. was all for euthanasia, as is his bent.

For me, Himmler's pronouncement on mental patients in 1930's Germany seems apposite: 'Useless Mouths'...
