Following a recent post in which I suggested that the best use for copies of The Tablet was to shred them and use the shreddings as bedding for pet rabbits, has brought a storm of adverse comment from animal welfare societies and the like.
Generally speaking, all comment has been focused on how unkind it would be to subject bunnies to the rancid scraps of what once was a great magazine.
The GPPS (Guinea Pigs Protection Society) has weighed in by accusing me of discrimination in favour of rabbits and, the RSPCA (Royal Society for the Propagation of Composting Activities) has cautioned against using the magazines as added fodder for composting insisting that worm and bacterial populations would be decimated by coming into contact with, especially, the editorial pages.
The dilemma grows - what to do with the bulk of (remaindered) Tablets?
You can't use them as landfill material because of the environmental pollution threat - what can you possibly do with them?
Polite and creative suggestions gratefully received.
My thanks to Father EW, (EF Pastor Emeritus) who first flagged up this problem.
