Sorry misread but I think the same applies to mistreatment. It's not hard to figure out how to treat a dog right. It's a mammal like us so food, water, safe place to live, no beating, etc. The last bit is one thing I've seen educated do a fair bit too. I think mistreatment is linked to the person, if they're the type to be cruel they'll be cruel. That's with people and animals.

We spent the morning freezing produce from the plots. Just went to go out to cut the grass, guess what? it's raining , not forecast that I'm aware of. ☹
There's someone who occasionally uses a drone round here that annoys me. I've never managed to find out who's controlling it. The buzz is worse than hearing a mossie drone in your tent after you've settled down for the night!
Then again we also get a 9pm as late as 10pm flypast of an V22 Osprey tiltrotor plane. Its a very slow flying and noisy plane that circles around for 5 minutes before flying off. It's currently only used by American and UK special forces. It flies over just as our son is dropping off to sleep. So I'm with you on the annoying planes thing.
Local news! What’s the point in showing Devon/Cornwall’s roads jam packed, stating COVID rates are more than double the England average, don’t come down unless you’ve pre booked because you won’t get meals or accommodation, what is the point in putting that on our local news, the locals won’t be going out until silly seasons over anyway. Wouldn't that be better on national news.

Why do noisy little planes insist on going round and round and round. Drives me nuts.
I assume you are referring to real planes rather than drones. The small single engine aircraft will probably be from a local airport with people learning to fly.
Yes @KT53, that was my thought as well but as far as I know Kemble is our nearest small airport and people learning to fly shouldn't be doing it over a city! It could be somebody taking aerial photos I suppose but it happens quite regularly.

Quite a lot of small planes fly from Bristol Airport. We lived under the flight path for a few years and regularly walked the dogs on the Common at the end of the runway. There were always little training planes buzzing about in between the EasyJet and RyanAir ones.
We get military overflights here. Chinooks and Hercules mostly, flying very low and very loud. The air ambulance comes over from time to time, the Western Power helicopter checks the lines a couple of times a year and then there's a high north/south corridor that we can see the planes but generally don't hear them, but which has been almost entirely absent during the pandemic. Dunkeswell is close enough for us to get the training flights - the scary ones where they cut the engine to practise restarting in mid-air - because it is very empty country here. And then there are paragliders and other little buzzy things. So we are by no means free from over-flights. But it's very sporadic, much more a weekend thing than in the week, there's no road traffic noise at all - no sirens - and after dark, barring the very rare chinook overflight, it all stops.
