I think the other way of thinking is the worldwide way of dealing with it. Zookeepers and large livestock handlers all have sticks or cattleprods to help control the animals they work with. I doubt many go at it with a soft heart and just hope things work out. Small farms around the world...
Which pizzeria was that? Have lived here since '91 and don't recall this place. I did know a guy who worked on the fancy upscale jazz bar (i think that's what it was built as) built by the RR tracks right by Peter Pan Putt-Putt. That place was going to be super fancy with exotic hardwood bars...
There is a reason for this, because farmers/ranchers will show zero discretion when killing wolves. They allowed you to kill them at your discretion before and you see where that got us, no wolves at all. I grew up in an area with alot of ranchers, they don't just kill wolves on their land...
And why do you think they would have to be reintroduced? Maybe it has to do with the fact that they were there first, got hunted out of existence by said farmers who bought the land after they killed off the original proprietors of the land, said wolves. So I think it is your argument that...
That has to be the absolute most far-fetched, outrageous and outlandish analogies I have ever heard. Not even a vaguely close comparison. Even a sexual predator knows his predation is not natural.....mind-blowing analogy there I tell ya what!
People who move to the boonies, claim they accept...
I feel your pain. I moved into a house 8 months ago and it has been nothing but a total disaster. Totally ineffectual landlord, house was in need of a ton of repairs that were supposed to be done before we moved in, needless to say they weren't done. Took 7 months for my kitchen to get a...
Not sure if people are still experiencing problems but there is a program called NoScript that is very helpful for old and new computers alike. It lets you select what loads on a page so you can turn just about anything you don't want to see off. It greatly helps with loading speeds because...
I know my Leghorn is unusual as the standard goes but she is great. She is from hatchery stock even tho that is not where I got her. She is my flock leader and is a great leader at that. She is never mean or pushy until its the last few scraps of treats left on the ground and then sometimes she...
I wonder if this could have anything to do with it? Do you use a chemical wormer or natural preventatives? I believe chemical wormers can be hard on their system, not 100% on that but believe I have read that here. Mine won't usually crow if he is feeling down in the dumps, so that could be a...
My little EE named Triscuit (I have 1 EE and 1 Lavender Ameraucana) went into molt in August of last year and has not resumed laying yet. Most of my other chickens are laying at the moment except for my Lav and this mutt blue I have. I'm finding them to be less than decent layers and come...
You don't have to worry here, you will not find many people who will not tell you to kill it. I believe every state gives you the right to protect your flock with deadly force against nearly any threat, they only time it gets tricky is when humans or raptors are involved. There are a ton of...
I have used Aquaphor (spelling may be a little off, pretty sure you get it in the womens makeup section at the grocery/pharmacy) with great success, its a water based jelly like vaseline but not petroleum based. We used honey and it did alright but was a sticky mess, this stuff goes away on its...
