I hope we are spreading light out into the world ... <br /><br />@ Michelle - oh gosh I'm afraid I haven't gone back to check in ... I'll have to make sure I visit everyone next time.<br /><br />I was just out of ideas ... and thankfully my A-Z posts on the animals in the Rare Breeds Society Trust seemed to all fit together ... the way my mind is working now. I'm so glad you appreciated the amazing work the RBST is doing for us all.<br /><br />@ Theresa - well that's wonderful you've been reminded about your visits to Ireland - it's a stunning country ... and we are lucky that there are people who care for their land and their animals ... <br /><br />@ Ann - I sure hope you can get over and visit the places your ancestors left in the 1600s. It is wonderful to see these ancient breeds being conserved. Politics and Government don't always help the people or animals on the edge ... thankfully people can be kinder ... but let's hope our attitudes change ... <br /><br />Thanks for visiting and joining in the WATWB bloghop ... cheers HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401528799218373095.post-22143686268948555482017-05-07T23:39:30.468+01:002017-05-07T23:39:30.468+01:00I hope to make it to Britain one day and visit the...I hope to make it to Britain one day and visit the places my ancestors left in the 1600's. It is good that these breeds be preserved for posterity. We have some hostile politics in the states about the environment; but, hopefully, that will change with the next election in 2018.

It is absolutely essential to have genetic diversity. The older breeds are more self sufficient and, in general, more hardy. We must keep them going!
