  1. If it’s an urban legend it’s got a lot of traction online,and no one has put their head above the parapet to refute it so draw your own conclusion….
  2. Don’t know mate,people being people?Sandy would be the one most suited to answering the question,he has Spanish Galgo,but he hasn’t been on for a few weeks.
  3. I low balled it at 50k,but even Wikipedia puts it at 50-100k hung,drown,thrown off cliffs and down wells.
  4. Just read a Nat Geo article TOMO they put the number of Galgo destroyed in Spain each year from 10’s of thousands up to 100,000 so 50,000 might be accurate.
  5. Looks like a very rich,substantial Irish stew.
  6. I wasn’t allowed to trout fish in Bhutan as they are strict Buddhists,a driver in a vehicle I was in didn’t even sound the horn at a dog in the road,he just waited for the dog to move. Then there’s animism…….
  7. That’s a third that’s been caught in the UK then,impressive turtles,I have spoken to a bloke here who saw one holding a mallard,ambush predators,I have seen one near a brood of ducklings.
  8. There’s been at least one snapping turtle caught in a UK river,from memory one was caught only a couple of years ago in the river Trent,and I seem to remember one caught maybe 20 years back in southern England somewhere?

    Sciatica

    Get it checked,my missus told me the story of a guy who went in for a check up,all the classic sciatica symptoms,it was a tumour trapping the nerve.
  10. They need sustained high temperatures to breed successfully,I think for around two months?But there may have been the odd clutch,maybe?I found quite a few nests this year dug out by raccoons.
  11. He got the sack,McDonalds have distanced themselves from him saying he was employed by an outside agency,the usual….
  12. The bloke trying to stop the filming was Rasta,the guy soaking the street sweeper was an African security guard,maybe Nigerian?
  13. He is African,similar empathy to animals as Chinese.
  14. It’s abysmal,starts off ok then it’s as if they forgot the script and wandered off trying to be alternative,apparently barrack Obama gave the producer advice.
  15. Everyone here uses stringers,all the tackle shops sell them.
  16. Don’t know if it’s the real number mate,same as the 20 million dogs eaten annually in China,something I read,seen pics of hung dogs in Spain,there’s a guy lives local to me in Surrey,posh bloke,he has a few rescue Galgo.
  17. Hanging the dogs at the end of the season TOMO,it’s known as a piano dance.
  18. Which bass pro is that mate?Love how they have recreated a little bit of swamp pond inside the store,the one in Niagara has a full sized float plane hanging from the ceiling and a load of huge trout in an environment tank.Keep on posting interesting stuff Wolf.
  19. Spain likewise,the piano dance with galagos,50,000 a year? Those Chinese in the clip some of them certainly lived through communism,hard times,no empathy for people and certainly no empathy for animals,the current generation Z’s and alpha’s have different mentalities.
  20. Hey C’mon,it’s only an extra bag,a unique guy like Dido deserves a special limited edition jacket.
