Thank you, Clarissa, for all your books, television programs, opinions and knowledge.

I have often noticed that people who are advocates for animals can wish the most horrid things on people without the slightest flinch. Something is wrong there.....

@vulcan1429

Because some people are horrid and deserve it. Animals are not as nasty as the Human Race.

Clarissa there is only one word for you......Magnificent.

@2211JW I want to have gay sex with you so bad, then afterwards we can eat some lentils, and blog about Peta in the nude.

@2211JW There is nothing unintelligent about being a faggot, it is nature. I wonder however whether your bigoted idiocy is nature or nurture: are your family inbred? or are you completely uneducated?

please explain.

@JesusChristisfake How very cruel of you. Oh, no, you'd forgotten the human animal hadn't you? Perhaps one ought to remove oneself from festering misinformation and read the very book that you're spending your time watching her promote. She clearly deliniates real coarsing as distinct from poaching. If, after that, all you can find in true coarsing is some kind of perverse pleasure, that's your lookout. But as any shrink will tell you, you haven't just conjured these accusations out of nowhere.

"In some parts really bloody angry". Wonderful. In a world where Keith Floyd has departed and the English eccentric seems to be dying out aswell, it's such a joy to know that she's still here and speaking her mind. The thing about hunting is... if you compare it to the misery and sheer numbers of animals involved in Factory farming... hunting is surely the least of the animal lovers problems and should be much farther down the priority list. End cruel factory farming.

[jamesinarcadia]

She is actually a fascinating woman. I don't agree with hunting, I wouldn't do it, and I am a liberal vegetarian. I do not believe that she should be condemn because she supports hunting however, it is her choice, and hunting in the U.K has a historical and cultural role.

What is inappropriate are the foul comments towards her, hunters should not be demonised, it isn't necessary when the alternative (not to hunt) is rational argument.

I've read "Spilling the Beans", "Rifling Through My Drawers" and "Clarissa and the Countryman", and enjoyed all of them. Clarissa is an amazing woman. I met her once at a countryside event and found her to be articulate, witty and down to earth.

My thanks to Max for sharing this video.

@JesusChristisfake You are a very sick and cowardly creep - like all of your ilk.
