Sheesh, people calm down. The frog thing was done, God, it has to be seven years ago now. I didnt light the thing on fire, all I did was catch it.  We didnt know what we were gunna do with it, but Chase decided he wanted to see what would happen if we soaked it in lighter fluid and set it on fire. We were like 'alright, lets see'. Thats all. We didnt feel the need to stop him, because he is one of those people that once they get their mind set to it, there is nothing you can do to stop him. And, hell, the thing set the bushes AND THE HOUSE (well, the deck atleast) on fire...  And the snake thing I did drunk on a bet... Can't get around that one.

And, does anyone here have to deal with Canadian geese? They are a nusiance, and we can only hunt them here in Minnesota for a week out of the year. Thats it. The area is so overpopulated with them. Hell, a week ago traffic was backed up on a highway because a group of easily 100-plus geese decided to chill on the highway and not move. All they do is eat, sh!t, and get into everything. Thats it. Squirrels are about as bad here. They get into the trash all the time, eat things in our garden, and get into the garrage. I cant begin to count how many times I have found a dead squirrel in my garage. It happens easily once a month. And I dont shoot them to kill them. I do it to get them off of my yard so they dont destory anything, or kill themselves.

One way to keep dogs/cats out of your garden:

Go to the local zoo, ask for some tiger/lion/big cat manure. Spread it around the edges of your garden. It'll both feed the plants and keep animals out.

There is a turning point in everyone's life when they follow one path or the other.  I have not thought about this for many years, but when I was about 14, I was hanging out with a friend who had an air rifle, and of course I wanted to have a go, and he pointed to a sparrow, which, by some fluke I managed to kill...

Now came the turning point, I just looked at that tiny, pathetic body on the ground and decided that I would never do that again.  I know it's not macho to be kind to animals, but that's just the way it turned out for me.  Oh, and I'm not a veggie, so you can now call me a hypocrite as much as you like...;)

In short: being cruel to someone or something that is smaller and weaker than you just proves that you are a weak person...

I'm a hypocrite too :D

Seriously though, I have killed animals, during a survival training course, and only for food. I never saw the point of killing for fun.

As for shooting animals that are causing a nuisance etc, I've always felt that was an extreme measure, but if a dog was attacking me or the like then I would defend myself just like anyone else :)

Am I the only one who finds it ironic that the same people who become vegetarians are also the first to complain against things because they're not natural? :D

Guess what. Eating meat is natual :)

Did about the same thing excepted it was my "friend" who shot. Thing was, the sparrow didn't die, it was on the ground, trying to gulp some air and, obviously, in great pain. Of course my friend, this time, didn't have the nerve to finish it. So I had to do it, even tho I was already bent on never hurting animals. And it took two more shots to kill it, even tho I shot the first one in the head. I felt like **** :doubt:
Only animals I really can't stand ( usual animals, I mean ) are small dogs, like yorkshire, those small, short, hairy things with a flat face, no matter what kind, those ones, that will yap for all day long and pretend being agressive whenever there's a fence between you and it. Little ****s, I hate football, but I sure wouldn't if it was played with them as the ball. Never even kicked one, tho, I'm too afraid of breaking it up.

I nearly wet myself reading that. :p

As for cruelty to animals, no. But one has to take into consideration different habitats.

Kangaroos in the farming region's of Australia are seen as pests, and killed when possible. As are wild pigs.
But that's just normal life out there.

For city people who live in comfort around their metal towers, it can be difficult to see the other side of the story.

I say we eat PETA members, and thus solve the problem that way.

Mmm....tastes like.... chicken.

If it was me or an animal, either because the stupid beast attacked  me or I was hungry in a survival situation, I'd kill the animal. Otherwise, no.

I do eat meat, though, and wear leather shoes. Indeed, hypocritical as ****. But, I do try to stick to free range meat, if at all possible.

It's not hypocritical to eat meat but not kill for simple pleasure. There might be other ways to get the vitamins in meat but regardless of that fact you're still doing something natural to keep yourself alive.

That can't be said about shooting cats or maiming dogs.

:rolleyes: :nod:

It's not as if we have a go at lions or tigers for eating meat, is it?  We
are, after all, omnivorous animals.
