The Purple West Highland Haggis is now on the endanger species list.
Like all hunting with hounds, haggis hunting is designed to be cruel. Hounds are bred for stamina, providing the 'sport' of a lengthy chase. The haggis is forced to run as far and as fast as it can until exhausted, when the hounds will catch and kill it. Hunters claim that the haggis is killed instantly, but evidence has shown again and again that the haggis is just as likely to be torn apart alive. Hunts can kill 20,000 haggis and their neeps (cubs) annually.
Although hunting deer with hounds has been illegal in Scotland for over 30 years, haggis hunting continues.
p.s. haggis have a nervous system almost as complex as the fox and do feel considerable stress & pain.
an endangered species yes, but they are still roaming about. and hey, they are some size. that prick in the chippy must cut the thing into about 8 pieces. judging by the portions he is serving.
TONNINOS YOU BBAASSTTAARRDDSS.

I think that the farmers should be considered here. The farmers have an increased problem with the increasing population of haggis and the Hunting of Haggis is in their best interests. The haggis is renound for urinating on tractor seats, stealing valve caps as well as swinging from Cow's tails by their teeth. In no-way am I condoning the hunting of haggis but their "neeps" should certainly be culled before their natural urge of "Cow Tail Swinging" is in evidence.
Everybody knows the value of the "greater speckled haggis" and its contribution to road safety, where would we be if they were not allowed for experimental "runover" purposes. Every year, thousands are killed so that crossing the road is made safer for little Tommy or wee Mary, Many thousands of great men and women are employed in the "runover" programme, mainly touring the countryside and throwing the haggi' (plural) under the wheels of unsuspecing motorists, until they are squashed to a pancake, then they throw down a handful of cocktail sticks to make them look like their lesser revered cousins, the hedgehog.
I am convinced that the Haggis is a major contributor to road safety.
So I for one am proud to stand up and say, Hers to you "Mr Haggis runover man!"

Right on Vicey it's about time the buttons on pedestrian crossings were lowered so that the haggae can reach them. Haggae is the plural but what is the collective noun "a neepdom"?
