Plea To Dog Owners...

[Minnie]

Suffer???? They eat the butty, they blow up.........end of!

[Guest Rox]

This will be another of your attempts not to wind people up then?

 

I cannot believe that you are so stupid not to recognise that you are quite clearly advocating bringing a huge amount of suffering to a living creature. Not only taking sadistic pleasure in the deed but also telling other idiots exactly how to do it.

 

Lovely.

It's a more humane method than trying to kill one with a shovel though

Found meself agreeing with pretty much all that Cret said there. But what's it all got to do with dog owners?

That's what I like to hear!

 

Nothing to do with dogs really but an understandable progression from talking about sh1t to talking about flying sh1t!!

 

More a thread hijack though.

 

Rox - I don't really think Minnie is serious.

[P.K.]

I don't like making animals suffer even if they're causing me shedloads of grief.

Bit of a strange comment for a hobby fisherman isn't it?

 

Herring Gulls in particular are very successful because they scavenge and with the increasing food waste we have their numbers are on the up.

 

Now if you could train them to hoover up the dog poo then you would have a win/win.

I know, I was just messin.

 

Rox defending the gulls?!! But she likes dogs, not mangey birds (although she's always nice to me).

[Ean]

The seagulls on top of douglas head scare me, last time i walked up there they all just stared at me (I felt like i was an extra in The Birds.) I think it was because i didn't drop any Macdonalds litter or other crap that they could eat, it's a xxxxxxx disgrace how many people cant be arsed to get off their fat arse in their car to walk the 10 metres to the nearest bin and just dump it out the window!

 

That being said i do miss the sound of the seagulls when i go away and stuff, for some reason i equate them squawking and screeching with home!

[Jay]

Can't you blow gulls up if you feed them bread covered in bicarbonate of soda?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yeah, it can be quite spectacular!

 

I've had some very good results using the same method on small rodents, , but it works best on gerbils!

 

Tried it on rabbits too but with limited success, the buggers seem to be able to fart their way outta trouble, which can be quite dangerous if they've got the sh;ts as well

Erm, no. Not remotely. I fish with the intention of eating what I catch if it's of a suitable size as to not be a waste and a suitable species. Anything that's outside this category I try to be as careful as I can with before returning it to the sea in one piece.

My comments on another thread about fishing are also along the lines of making sure when you dispatch a fish you should do it as quickly & thoroughly to make sure the fish doesn't suffer.

 

It's very different to people who go fishing for stuff they have no interest in eating, and do so mostly it would seem so they can try and catch one bigger than their mate has done or whatever.

 

So I don't especially appreciate the implication that I like causing suffering to the beasties, seeing as I've just said the exact opposite.

[Minnie]

I was once told about blowing up a frog too, but I won't tell the story for fear of being flamed by the anti-cruelty brigade.

Minnie wonders if it might work on Jay............invite him round for tea, feed him bicarb butties and BOOM! Wishful thinking!

[Lucy]

Hey! Stop being froggist, that's twice today I've read about people wanting to hurt the frogs. I'm getting upset. Do what you like to other animals though, couldn't give a fig about them.

 

Oh, and ants, I like them too, so try not to step on them whilst walking along.

Very fair. I forgot about your post on returning record tope. My mistake.

That appears to be sarcasm seeing as it would imply that I am after all basically a 'sport angler'. However, it's somewhat misplaced because I have not, nor as I recall (and I can't be arsed searching) claimed to have done such. My friends however have, and have tagged said creatures so they can be kept track of.

 

And having changed my mind and performed a quick search on the word 'tope' it has indeed shown that I was in fact referring to just that:

My brother & his mates have had tope off langness well over the record

.

 

If on the other hand I've misinterpreted your post then I apologise for my error.

 

Should I actually catch one I'm led to believe it's a rather tasty fish being as some places sell it at a higher price than even salmon, and would be tempted to eat it to see. I haven't found a decent recipe for it yet but that doesn't mean I won't try it and share the food with other people I know.

[P.K.]

Cret, I leave sarcasm for the tossers who:-

 

1. Have no point to make

 

2. Don't know how or when to apologise

 

and this forum is full of them.

 

You mentioned a "fishing rock" at Perwick. Is this a tidal island with footholds down to it chipped out of the rock? If so we knew it as "Bone Rock" with "Cormorant Rock" further out. If it is not then what are you referring to?
