What is wrong with eating pork? It is lovely stuff, especially when roasted with a nice bit of crackling and apple sauce!

Very bravely they tackled: extremist Kemalism and blind loyalty, the state control by the military and the overthrow of elected governments, the fear free-thinking journalists and book-sellers are constantly faced with (indeed the actual arrest of one person who wrote a short article), the blatant looting of Greek antiquities, the shooting of bears by peasants, the displacement of people for dam building and failure to provide water for the locals, the abandonment of project completion because of Western funding withdrawal due to controversial nature of these dams, then finally the human rights atrocities raining down on the Kurds ... as far as I recall.

Was there a suggestion that any bears were shot? The gun was for scaring them off. Lovely cub though. :lol:
