I have a love-hate relationship with the Common (or Ring-necked) pheasant, a species native to Asia and perhaps SE Europe but introduced in its MILLIONS to the UK. Here's a brief thread on this species and what it means for us in the UK... #birds #ornithology 
Across the British countryside, the Common pheasant is ubiquitous, typically being the only 'large groundbird' you might see. Lone males - often calling loudly (gogOK!) - are commonly seen, as are groups of females and juveniles. They're everywhere in agricultural landscapes.
Because they look great - they're attractive, large, and represent a body shape we don't see in other commonly encountered British birds (more on that in a minute) - I think we mostly enjoy their presence in the land here...
The Soviets and other totalitarian systems had a societal vision too, for the “betterment of all,” and in the name of ideology, they recommended the sort of censorship Roy Chacko’s article seems to be recommending for Tarantino’s work.

“This” meaning Tarantino’s films, “has to stop,” Chacko says. Exactly how does one stop an artist from expressing himself, however vile someone else may find that artistic vision?
This sort of call to censorship in a newspaper, no less, is the height of ironic hypocrisy. Might be online, but it’s still the damn @guardian!
