That's disgusting, unethical, and dishonest.

I -despise- them and consider them my sworn enemies.

Imagine how people look at you when you say “I love animals but I hate peta”.
[*and* the HSUS, too]

They have brainwashed people so well that they look like the ‘good guys’.

They’re -far- from being any such thing.

Of all the animals I’ve rescued over the years, exactly NONE of them ended up euthanized and thrown in some out-of-sight *trash* dumpster.

Talk about ‘demons disguised as angels of light’.

You’re 100% correct about both PETA and the HSUS. PETA = People Exterminating The Animals. They’re vile, lying, commie traitors to us and our pets.

We still have all our cats. Some of them are ashes in cedar boxes, but we have them all here with us. When I found myself putting their favorite toys and a bit of their fur and a few whiskers into each box, I began to understand Mayan and Egyptian burial procedures, LOL!

LOL! No, about leaving things in the tomb to ease the deceased’s passage to the afterlife.

I heard another way to get ride of slugs (they love to hide under my hosta’s) is instead of anti freeze, beer does the same thing, they drown in it. Thats if you have other critters around you don’t want to get rid of...

“The law states you are not allowed to take them more than a kilometre from where they are trapped and, obviously, you can’t kill them” ...

"Obviously"?

Are they an endangered species or something?

PS. Is not knowing how far a kilometre is a valid defense?

No, I believe that would constitute a hate crime.

Diacretaceous earth and beer both work well.

I agree with you 100%, and I also disagree with the sueprcilious here who adjudge the personal methods to reach the end of which you speak.

Kill two racoons painfully and the rest will not come, for a whole season or more.

Or you can shoot dozens of them. They can just keep coming.

Nature indeed has the ways you suggest. Even pets will eat humans under certain conditions, a human is just lunch like any other protein on the planet. But few can face that factor lurking inside their squeezable teddy bear pets, and refuse to train them or discipline them.Certain animals are villified because they are infamous for eating humans. In fact the pit bull across the street will eat a human if he is hungry enough and has not had his kibbles and bits for a week or so.Two of them starving together make it a certainty.

As far as sadism goes though, I was exaggerating just to get the rises.I find the lack of awareness on just how the planet works amusing.
At the end of the summer here, the cats from a nearby dairy farm migrate into the forest as the Fall season puts them into heat and rut. Then the racoons come through, scavenging everything in their path as they fatten up for hibernation time. They clean up dozens of stray feral cats from that farm. You can hear their yowls in the night reducing themselves to a strangled gurgle as the racoons munch them alive.The fox get into the act too.Rabits taken in this way let out a single high pitched wail.

All this is heard in the still of Indian Summer nights. I wonder why it is that people just do not get it.Impermanence permeates everything.The only thing that can transcend it is true, genuine love. Not that I am going all mushy on you.

But that is exactly how the world is, a jungle full of impermanance. One either is wise about it or a fool.Compassion has to happen in the middle of all that impermanence, and if one knows not that nature of impermanence, genuine compassion cannot happen at all. Its otherwise just idiocy.

Upon the realization of such impermanance, as you describe, one can be fully human. Without that, one can easily become an idiot unaware of the genuine context in which one lives.
