All bad hunters are called vegetarians.....:O)
My hubby, son's and now grandsons are all hunters...one grandson got his first doe at 14....his father fixes the best venison you could ever taste...
In real bad times, if they come, I don't worry about them finding something to shoot and eat...

Squirrel and dumplings is a dang fine meal.

And the stupid liberal tree huggers sit oo-ing & ahh-ing at them while they feed them so they can load up with more crap. That's the reason they've become a nuisance. They've learned that humans will feed them, or that they can get food easily where there are humans, so the flocks have grown larger. Sometimes they don't even bother to migrate, because they know where their next meal is coming from.

Federal officials said two property owners paid for the round up, gassing and killing of the now-flightless geese and their goslings. Flightless?
They fly pretty well around my neck of the woods.

“Hope Ullman of Wolfeboro said the story disgusted her and said the use of the word “euthanize” was a misnomer.”
OK, yes its a euphemism - how about if we just call it a large cell mass, would that be better Ms. Hopey/Changey?”

“Moments later after the feathers settled, what could be seen were 13 dead geese, blood everywhere, an out of breath dog, and three toddlers who needed therapy. My wife said it was like seen out of Apocalypse Now.”
That would have made an outstanding photo essay!

Classic Jack! The 3 we have now are not classic. Two are long haired, one is longer than your average broken coat, the other one has hair so long that no one thinks he is a JRT. I had him DNA tested and he came out Fox Terrier and Australian Terrier. Both of those were what I expected. The 3rd one looks like a JR in size, body conformation and short hair but his ears stick up like a Fox Terrier. The long haired/broken coat Jacks are not as hyper active as the short haired ones and I should know, we have had about 10 of them in the last 15 years. Four were long haired and 6 were short haired. About half we took as rescues and half we bought.The longer haired variety is definitely my favorite of the two.

euthenizing. That means "killing," right? Why don't they just say that? Killing is something a mean right winger would do. Euthanizing is something a kind and gentle liberal would do.

“Nasty creatures, those geese.”
No argument from me on that! Except that once you club or shoot them into submission, they can become downright tasty! ;)

All of mine have been recue dogs except for this one. I got him from a family that loved him and treated him right but they lived next to a highway and couldn't let him outside off the leash. He's got a fenced half acre here with all kinds of bushes and trees to investigate.
Hoping to hear from the JRT rescue association tomorrow about a year old female. They said she was malnourished but otherwise treated well so she doesn't seem to have any issues.
You can really see the intelligence in their eyes.

I love that story. I got too close to a pair's nest in a parking lot. They came after me squawking and pecking. Foul tempered poop machines.

Just consider it a pilot project for Soylent Green.
Take care of two problems at once... send them all to the starving people in Haiti. Bill and Bush can release the first few into a crowd at Port-A-Prince.

The reason is that it needs to be palatable when our health care program kicks in and they advertise the “youth in asia” program for people over 65 under ObamaCare..

In real bad times, if they come, I don't worry about them finding something to shoot and eat... I hear you, sounds like my family. When we were first married we so so poor but we ate pheasant "under glass" often. A very nice pheasant and a big glass bowl covering it, still laugh over that.

Heard a story about a guy who killed and cooked a Canada goose. It was so tough as to be inedible.

>>About 4,000 were killed by Washington Fish & Game Dept. in Kirkland/Bellvue area awhile ago because they were not migratory<<
That equals out to three tons of goose crap PER DAY removed from the community. Bravo!
