Steve Allen's Little Bit Extra.

Morning everybody, welcome along to your free podcast for today.

Thursday, the 8th of September.

It was quite nice, wasn't it, not to have Keith Vaz on the front pages.

I didn't get a chance, actually, to finish off the rest of your text and emails.

Now, another one here. This is from just M. Max, I think it is,

who says, having your show extended to 7 o'clock, just amazing. It means that I drive to work all the way listening to you. I can't ask for anything else. Amazing. I lived in China, China for a while,

and unfortunately they do the same thing to many other animals.

It's horrible.

I know it's this adrenaline.

So in other words, if you put an animal through trauma, the adrenaline kicks in and it makes the meat tougher, which they like.

I just, I don't know.

I mean, I'm just, I kind of go, oh, I'm sorry, I just do. But there again, I do exactly the same for people, you know, want to go to bullfights and stuff like that.

Sadly, stupid parents, says Adrian, like those who would think track suits are okay for school, simply prove that low lives are alive and well. And these people walk amongst us. Yes, they do. Yes, they do.

Talking about peaches and bellini, says Heather, a peach bellini cocktail. How lovely. How lovely.

And it hurts, says Pauline, animal cruelty, but you've got to keep telling people what's going on.

Yeah, I think you have. Somebody said to me, oh, you obviously derive some stupid person, you know, a couple of brain cells missing. You know, obviously you derive

pleasure by talking about animal suffering. No, people like you with your head in the sand and stuck

up your rear end that kind of annoy me. I get annoyed with silly people who really don't know. Yeah,

if ignore it, it still happens. You know, if if ignore it, it still happens. So you have to talk about it. You have to talk about it. And then it gets people, I mean, at the moment, I think they're trying to, to get it stopped. But you won't get it stopped. These places are in remote places in China. They're not following anything at all. This is what they've been doing for ages and age. If they thought this was bad, the local council would have stopped this taking place in the markets.

This is taking place, it's not, it's not taking place under cover.
