Man fined for drowning squirrel

[skyhuck]

excuse the pedantic nature of my unimportant observation but wouldn't it gasp for water???

 

Don't think so, if a fish breathes through its gills, the water in its gills is its breath.

Drowning is just Waterboarding taken a little too far.

I was a bit slow there Jack, thankyou for the offer though. I am moving to Scotland next week to start a new job and there isnt many squirrels where im going! I am taking all my larsen traps though!

 

Never heard of using 'larsens' for squirrels, could be fun getting them out, most use Fenn traps with ply covers to prevent moggies getting trapped.

 

As one old boy said," there's three types of Rats;

 

1, rats. 2, rats with wings = pigeons. 3, rats with good PR = squirrels.

 

Good luck with your move to Scotland recomend the 'weggy - english dictionary.

still interfering with nature. when man steps in to change things it is interfering.

 

 

Mans existence is interfering with nature, it is nature

 

If the human population does get too much nature already has ways of sorting it.

 

We are constantly being thinned out through conflict, disease and "natural" events

wow what an iteresting thread, i love some peoples insistance (such as the rspca's) that vermin such as fox & greys should be shot by a skiled marksman. I've been shooting since i can remember and strive for the humane kill every time but alot of the prople shooting vermin ain't doing it humanley i have shot 10's of wounded foxes, some peppered with shot, some with three legs and have seen plenty of greys run off after that hollow thwack sound. For some one without the nesisery know how drowning may be the lesser of evils, I watched my brother in law try to dispatch a mixy'd rabbit once, assuring me he knew what he was doing, after what seemed like an eternity of skweeking i took it off him & dispatched it my self, drowning would have been a far better way to go for that bugger. My fox terrier makes short work of rats, greys, foxes, badgers (not intentionally), cats, birds, rabbits & one of my bloody chickens! perhaps there is a call for primary school kids to be tought how to hunt, trap & dispatch animals humainley i'd vote for that, people are soo far detached from their food now it's a joke, a girl said to me the other day, "oh no you don't shoot animals do you?" "oh i didn't think you were a vegiterian" "i'm not she said"

& as for the RSPCA bunch of complete twits! un-stuned halal meat is produced in this country, a government report stated that un-stunned cows injured up to 90seconds of severe suffering before dieing, but the RSPCA has no beef with that. Some pesky kids let my dogs out of my garden in preston, when i went to get them of the rspca they stank of piss & they were clearly distressed "that'll be £90 per dog then" not even a please if i kept dogs in the same conditions they'd take them off me only to house them in the same, don't get me started!!

Maybe he was teaching it how to swim?

 

I think he did it with the squirrel on its back to keep his nuts dry...

Let Darwins theory of survival of the fintess rule.

 

If thats the case then why are you claiming tax credits ?

[chris cnc]

what if the squirrel paid taxes all its life, then you use your tax credits to buy an air pistol to kill the squirrel,...
