this is typical of townfolk and city people and their view of the countryside, they think it is there just to look pretty and allow them a place to wander around at will, my view is if they feel threatened in a place THEN STAY AT HOME YOU MORONS.
the countryside does look pretty but as has been proved in the past can be an unforgiving place to idiots, i refer of course to peole getting lost and caught up in bad weather conditions without the correct clothing, lettting their dogs run amock and to worry the sheep then complaing when a farmer comes along and blows its bloody head off, also leaving marked tracks and falling down old mine shafts to name a few things that can befall the idioticly unprepared or unwary.
i myself was dragged up in the capitol of the peak district in the sixties and vividly remember the stench of the foot and mouth bonfires, being trapped in our homes for days by huge snow drifts and unable to get fresh milk and bread because you could not get to the shops, i also remember for days being escorted to school in groups with an armed escort because a wild animal was attacking sheep and cattle and everybody thought it was an escaped lion or cougar and thought it may attack people (it turned out to be a wild dog) eventually it was caught in a trap and was shot, you can bet the decission to tell the farmer to get rid of his cattle was made by some pillock in a city office somewhere who has no idea of the countryside and believes it is just there for the middle classes to go to impress their friends at dinner parties by regaling their guest with "how clarrisa went in to a cave and fell and broke her leg and the cave rescue, mountain rescue and a heilcopter had to be called out to to save them" you do not have cattle in starbucks or waitrose, so go there and stay the hell out of the cattles place ie the countryside you middle cass idiots.
