Your letters

15:25 UK time, Tuesday, 11 December 2007

Alex (Letters, Monday) asks how can anyone justify such a double standard? Easy Alex, fake fur is meant to look and feel like real fur and vegetarian sausages are meant to look and taste like real sausages. Now having never eaten one I can't be 100% on this but I'm pretty sure human babies aren't filled with a colourful, fruit flavoured substance and around 3cm long.
Matt, Leeds, UK

Rebecca H - I like the taste and texture of meat but that doesn't automatically mean that I want an animal to endure a short, miserable life so it can end up in my mouth for 10 seconds. So I eat 'fake' meat instead: all the fun, none of the guilt. Similarly, my brother-in-law enjoys shooting but he doesn't enjoy killing for 'sport' so he uses clay dummies instead. Clever, isn't it?

And so what was the carbon footprint of the who flew halfway around the world to examine the carbon footprints of others?

Helen and Matthew (Friday letters) are obviously not gardeners. Cats always seem to choose that exact spot where their unfortunate neighbours were going to plant the begonias.
Rebecca, Queensland, Australia

Did anyone else think that 'Canoe wife charged with deception' neatly follows on from 'Man forced to marry goat' and 'Man charged with trying to have sex with bicycle'? I'll fetch my goat.
Christian Cook, Epsom, UK

David (Monday's letters). Wild? I expect they're livid. Ba-da-bum.
Rikki, UK

I am pleased to report another example of a person whose career fits his name in the first quotation box in .
