Re: Hunting Season

For many reasons I will be happy that the season is about to end.  Not least because of the irresponsiblity of some hunters in my neck of the woods (no pun intended).  I have heard it expressed many times by the wives of such men (as it is invariably just the men who shoot) that 'They are all drunk before they start and drink all day'.  having seem some of the most basic rules of gun usage ignored, I can well believe it.

Another bit of peace I will get will be the reduction of the arguments next door.  A real stand-up ding-dong shouting match the other week along the lines of 'You only think of your own pleasure when you go off hunting for the day, what about me?' and much more

Off subject a little but it is about badgers.Whistles [Www] Did anyone see the BBC program on badgers a few weeks back? It was very interesting and did state how these poor animals have been persecuted by idiots for hundreds of years. They are very intelligent and one scene that stands out for me was taken by a hidden camera under the ground in one of the sects showing a baby/youngster during a very loud thunderstorm standing on his hind legs covering his ears with his paws in fright. It was adorable. Smile [:)] How anyone can take pleasure in killing them is beyond me and very sad. Angry [:@]

The only time that they are not officially hunted is January until April, but they often become victims when foxes are hunted as the dogs enter the sets. They are of course frequently destroyed by poisoning but that's not legal and another matter.
