Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

It really has nothing to do with killing in a humane way. It is that there is a section of society that resents there being a sporting aspect to the killing.

There has been a fear for some time now amongst anglers that fishing would not be too far down the list of 'inhumane' and cruel sports.

Seal culling is done in a pretty humane way, certainly in terms of speed and suffering. A hunter bashes a seal on the head with a club that has a large spike at the end of it. Death is pretty much instantaneous. That doesn't go down too well with the animal rights people though as it is not pretty (except the seal's face). Of course they don't come up with a better solution to the overpopulation. Would letting them starve to death be better? Shooting is no more humane than the use of the club.

It is just a fox and not any different from an ant ........ lol



Yes, i can see how alike they are.

Essentially an ant is no different from a fox. It is just that people find it easier to apply anthropomorphism to a fox.

If you reply to my post in answer to yours, i might tell you. anyway shouldn't you know the answer ?

Your answer might be different to mine.

There's 'humane' and there's 'legal'.

In law, common sense very often goes right out the window. So why should the one have any similarity to the other?

I have a few friends who advocate culling a few tories, who they look upon as unnecessary predators. The rest they think should be kept in Zoos.

I think someone, somewhere, somewhere thought they were alike to vermin

(Not my opinion.) (Possibly, help to lose an election.)

Have mixed "feelings" about causing the deaths of members of other species, but "feel" if it "has" to be done, it should be done as painlessly as possible.

I use going coarse fishing, nice day out caught very little and felt it difficult to justify sticking a hook in a fishes mouth, dragging it out of the water and then chucking it back in the water.

However, the majority of fish were very safe when I was about as I caught very few.

Swapped to fly fishing, justifying doing so, as at least, I might eat the products of my effort.

Caught even less, but felt less guilty.

PS.

Greek, I wouldn't cull you.










Perhaps, put you in quarantine until your dangerous "leanings or ideas" were over.

What's missing from that white space between paragraphs

Thoughts I indulged in and then culled!

Re: The nasty, nasty woman, who stroked the cat a couple of times and then put it into the wheelie bin.

They've identified her. Apparently, she works in a bank. They'd like to give her the sack, but they can't.

They are fearful she might put the cat into it.

Nice one EL -):

..Give her a medal.. I hate mogs -):

I love cat's and most animals ...... the true test of a civilised society is the way it treats its animals.

'the true test of a civilised society is the way it treats its animals'. Absolutely spot on, how civilised are we that we treat our animals so well, it's about time we came down much harder on them, of course the animals I refer to are the likes of Sutcliffe, Tobin and Andrews et al, the victims and their families of crimes committed by the likes of these vermin deserve so much better.

mnamreh -- Do we know what sort of background from which these individuals arose, I have no idea about their upbringing, have you? It is easy to 'blanket' blame their upbringing as the reasons for their behaviour.

As regards to charitable donations, I find it extremely hard to give more than I do, this is almost certainly due to my scepticism. So much money is required to pay the directors and others at the top of the tree before it gets to those unfortunate enough to have to rely on such donations.

About 15 years ago the Guide Dogs for the Blind charity were paying a director 69k per annum, which I don't think was very charitable of him.

Roughly 7 years ago my sister-in-law collected for the RNLI - knocking on doors etc. Prior to embarking on their charitable mission the family of 5 adults put all the loose change they had into the tin, my brother topped up with a 10 note. My s-i-l then collected around the community. She subsequently received a thank you for collecting ---- 2.38.

Also 90% of the people who have just 10% of the wealth are targeted to exhaustion.
