The British government offers cognitive therapy to their prisoners, because why not?
At HMYOI Wetherby in West Yorkshire, they provide ferret therapy, where pet ferrets are used to reduce anxiety.
But when you pair that scenario with the well-known fact that prisons in Britain have been infested with rats for hundreds of years, you get a rather humorous intersection of nature and the absurdity of the modern leftist mindset.
The Guardian reports,
…in mid-May, staff and children complained about dozens of rats running around the grounds and inside prison buildings. A team of officers and children who are allowed to take on maintenance duties, called ‘Q Branch', were given permission to use ferrets to kill the rats.
Q branch, you say??
Permission to use ferrets to hunt rats was given by a named member of the senior management team, the HSE complaint said.
This is starting to remind me of a "King of the Hill" episode!
Management at the juvie facility taught the boys that nature is brutal and rats should be quickly disposed of, which was probably better therapy than "ferret therapy" for teaching boys to be men.
But in the UK, their disposal methods were deemed too traumatic.
According to a union complaint seen by the Guardian, the decision resulted in a boy who looks after ferrets witnessing an ‘inappropriate and potentially distressing' savaging of a screaming rat.
Another complaint suggests the gored rodent was then ‘stomped to death' by a senior staff member in front of prison officers.
Needless to say, the bureaucrats in England would rather the prison be full of rats than jeopardize ridiculous social programs like ferret therapy.
The incident will not only traumatise child inmates and prison officers but is a ‘contamination risk' and raises concerns under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, the Animal Welfare Act 2006 and the Public Health (Control of Disease) Act 1984, the union said.
More so than letting rats run wild in the prison?
It's just a wild speculation, but I'd bet if they'd just let the ferrets take care of the rats, all the juvenile delinquents in residence would have a lot less anxiety.
