What a wimp??????????

[madmax]

Nothing wimpish about respecting life. Quite some years ago we had a cocky young magpie in our garden and he kept attacking our Dakky rat, Ludo. Ludo wouldn't even go into the garden to perform his ablutions after a while so I had no choice but to deal with this magpie.

I shot it through the head from some distance (once a sharp shooter you never lose the skill). Even now I feel physically sick at the thought of this action. Shirley was quite concerned at my reaction to this killing. I felt it was excessive but I saw no other way to stop poor Ludo being pecked and left bleeding. I hung the dead magpie out in the garden to warn off others. Since then we have had no problems with them.. So mercifully the rifle stays away and I can keep a clean conscience.

my aunt found a dead fox and hung it up that was a good deterant against other foxes, i was a little upset last year my mate accidently strimmed a baby rabbit and broke its back so he had to finish it off, i made him feel so bad about it but at least he stopped it from suffering and whos to say it didnt have mixy anyway you would of though it would of run from a strimmer,
