Object: OT: Hunting Ban in the UK.
Parliament invaded. Riots in Parliament Square.
So what do you (mostly USians think). Should the UK ban hunting in the
sense of "fox and hounds"?

I think they should. I've always thought fox hunting was a barbaric pastime

I think it should be changed to wild boar hunting. Nobody likes
a snorting boor with ugly teeth, do they? And at least they could eat
it after the hounds catch it, and there's a chance a few of the hounds
would get their butts kicked by the boar... Foxes are too cute for
the game, imo.

Yes, they do put a damper on cocktail parties :)

I have to agree. I'm also not a big fan of hunting purely for sport. There
are actually foxes to be found in my suburban neck of the woods, though I've
only seen two, both of which were dead on the side of the road. However,
back when I was single and living in my condo, my roommate saw one running
across our lawn with a rabbit in its mouth.

Just a few minutes ago, Luey dragged a live rat into the house, and
it was still alive and kicking. He's learned not to damage them if he
wants to keep having fun with them... That's enough of the hunting
sport for me... I rescued the rat and threw it in the woodpile where
Luey will not have an easy time getting to it...

I've never actually seen a fox around here, but in my backyard alone,
I've had possums, skunks, armadillos, squirrels, rabbits, mice,
woodrats. No moles or gophers, though, although it might be fun
to watch Luey hunt them down...

Dang, I am SO glad my felines are of the indoor persuasion. There's a lot of
wildlife in my tiny backyard for them to get at too - tons of squirrels, a
pair of chipmunks as well as tons of birds. I don't think they'd try to
tackle the woodchuck though.

We do get skunks too, but only see them at night. One morning I getting
read to put out the garbage before the sun was even up and one brushed by my
ankle. Nearly gave me a heart attack.

There were skunks around the neighborhood of my old apartment in Canton,
OH. One of them was blundering around the parking lot one morning, head
stuck in an orange juice tube, poor thing. I managed to snag it with a
paper bag over my hands and popped it out; it scurried off, fortunately,
and I didn't wait around for it to spray me.

Parliament invaded. Riots in Parliament Square.


So what do you (mostly USians think). Should the

UK ban hunting

in the sense of "fox and hounds"?


I think they should. I've always thought fox

hunting was a

barbaric
pastime


I think it should be changed to wild boar hunting.

Nobody likes

a snorting boor with ugly teeth, do they?


Yes, they do put a damper on cocktail parties :)


M u s t r e f r a i n f r o m b a d t e e t h j o

And at least they could eat it after the hounds

catch it, and

there's
a chance a few of the hounds would get their butts

kicked by the

boar... Foxes are too cute for the game, imo.


I have to agree. I'm also not a big fan of hunting

purely for sport.


Just a few minutes ago, Luey dragged a live rat into

Yikes!

He's learned not to damage them if he

wants to keep having fun with them... That's enough

of the hunting

sport for me... I rescued the rat and threw it in the

Luey will not have an easy time getting to it...

Conventional wisdom is that if one that gets that close to a
human, unless it's taken by surprise or cornered, it's
probably sick. It's possible that in town they become

Parliament invaded. Riots in Parliament Square.


So what do you (mostly USians think). Should the

UK ban hunting

in the sense of "fox and hounds"?


I think they should. I've always thought fox

hunting was a

barbaric
pastime


I think it should be changed to wild boar hunting.

Nobody likes

a snorting boor with ugly teeth, do they?


Yes, they do put a damper on cocktail parties :)


M u s t r e f r a i n f r o m b a d t e e t h j o

k e s . . .


And at least they could eat it after the hounds

catch it, and

there's
a chance a few of the hounds would get their butts

kicked by the

boar... Foxes are too cute for the game, imo.


I have to agree. I'm also not a big fan of hunting

purely for sport.


Just a few minutes ago, Luey dragged a live rat into

the house, and

it was still alive and kicking.


Yikes!

He's learned not to damage them if he

wants to keep having fun with them... That's enough

of the hunting

sport for me... I rescued the rat and threw it in the

woodpile where

Luey will not have an easy time getting to it...


Dang, I am SO glad my felines are of the indoor

persuasion. There's a

lot
of
wildlife in my tiny backyard for them to get at too -

tons of squirrels,

a
pair of chipmunks as well as tons of birds. I don't

think they'd try to

tackle the woodchuck though.


There are actually foxes to be found in my suburban

neck of the

woods,
though I've only seen two, both of which were dead on

the side of the

road. However, back when I was single and living in

my condo, my

roommate saw one running across our lawn with a

rabbit in its mouth.


I've never actually seen a fox around here, but in my

backyard alone,

I've had possums, skunks, armadillos, squirrels,

rabbits, mice,

woodrats. No moles or gophers, though, although it

might be fun

to watch Luey hunt them down...


We do get skunks too, but only see them at night. One

morning I getting

read to put out the garbage before the sun was even up

and one brushed

by
my
ankle. Nearly gave me a heart attack.


Robyn says to herself; "Please don't fart, Mr./Mrs.

Skunk."


Actually, what very quickly ran through my mind as I felt

that fur move

across my ankle was "HOLY *****!" Thank goodness it just

took off. Whew!


Phew, indeed, if it had and you had to go to work......


Yeah, I definitely wasn't looking forward to having to bathe

in tomato juice

:P


Conventional wisdom is that if one that gets that close to a
human, unless it's taken by surprise or cornered, it's
probably sick. It's possible that in town they become
accustomed enough to people that such wisdom doesn't apply.

Does the tomato juice thing really work? I hope never to have
the need to learn from experience.

Supposedly. Sounds like the high acid content would be what breaks
the spray down.

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) does break down the smelly stuff in skunk
juice. It takes a lot of tomato juice to neutralize a full skunkload.

What about using orange juice instead? Do tomatoes have a lot more

"Orange juice (frozen, diluted) 1 cup 97

Maybe rubbing thawed-out frozen orange juice concentrate over the

I don't think I've ever seen frozen concentrated tomato juice
for sale in my area, but I might not be looking in the right part
of the frozen-food section of my supermarket.
The concentrated tomato juice and sauces are in the can
section of the stores I shop at. I am just rambling here, but am
curious if concentrated orange juice might work just as well or
better than concentrated tomato juice...
What we need are some volunteers willing to get sprayed by skunks
and smear orange juice and tomato juice all over themselves so
that we can find out which works better. Just like reality TV where
people eat worms and get all gooey and stinky...

What are you all complaining about? I like the smell of skunk.
I've had them spray within a few feet of me and the oder was not pleasant
but not really bad. Once even a little disapatted, it is quite nice.
I came out of the closet on this a few years back when a lady in San
Francisco admitted the same and started a "club" of people like me.
You may laugh but my funny sense of smell has releaved quite a few college
kids.
Picture me as a cop walking up to a car in an orchard with four guys in it.
It's summer and the windows are rolled up....
Tap, tap, tap. "Please roll down your window."
Roll.
"What are you doing"
"Just talking." One says while trying not to exhale.

When I smell skunk in the air I know spring has sprung and winter is going
away. (This last is a good thing.) I was raised in a rural area in Missouri,
of course I also find that alfalfa can be a pleasant smell. But with both
skunk and alfalfa it is best not to be all that close to the source.

Supposedly. Sounds like the high acid content would be what breaks
the spray down.


Didn't the Mythbusters show on DSC do a spot on the tomato juice
and skunk thing? Anybody else like that show?


Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) does break down the smelly stuff in skunk
juice. It takes a lot of tomato juice to neutralize a full skunkload.


What about using orange juice instead? Do tomatoes have a lot more
ascorbic acid than oranges?

What are you all complaining about? I like the smell of skunk.
I've had them spray within a few feet of me and the oder was not
pleasant
but not really bad. Once even a little disapatted, it is quite nice.


Seriously?


When I smell skunk in the air I know spring has sprung and winter is going
away. (This last is a good thing.) I was raised in a rural area in
Missouri,
of course I also find that alfalfa can be a pleasant smell. But with both
skunk and alfalfa it is best not to be all that close to the source.
