6/13/2005: Mud hippo

[Sun_Sparkz]

[quote=Packey]I subscribe to the rule "If you hunt it, you eat it." I not really sure how a lion or hippo or even a stinkass waterbuffalo tastes but I'm guessin' not so good. So whats left but to knock the head off and hang it next to the painting of the wife and kids on the wall or stuffing the thing and proping it up in the corner...tossing the rest in the trash...what a waste.

I used to subscribe to this rule too Packey - but not anymore.

Partner and i went fox shooting of late and we just left the dead bodies there in the paddock. A waste.. maybe. But i didn't feel bad about it at all.. they came into my property nights before and mauled and killed all my chickens, roosters, ducks and hens.. and only consumed one of them. Revenge killing it twas.. and i'd do it again.

But as for killing something that has done nothing wrong i.e a tiger/ a kangaroo/ a cockatoo.. there is no way i would consent to it, nor anyone else doing so unless it was for consumption.

And i also think it should always be done quickly and as painlessly as possible.. NOT shooting a large animal with a pissy 22rifle and letting it rivel in pain.
