Science I expect.

I don't get you? No BASC don't write laws, which is why they are saying voluntary.... it wouldn't be voluntary if it was law would it. How can they defend lead shot? They're not, are they? I mean, they literally want us to all move to non toxic because they can't defend the use of toxic anymore.
-
Also, wtf are the BBC on about it already for! The BASC consortium said they were looking at a five year phase out period which was announced last year. So the f**k did they expect in the first season?
-
I don't think that's the main justification for not using lead. I was under the impression it was environmental impact.

Thylacine 'Caught On Trail Cam' Twitter Claim

If I had a stake in finding a leopard I'd very simply find the most successful leopard PH in Africa and make it worth his while. A clean celebrity photographer type is much easier to sell than a white Rhodesian rancher who has spent his life finding and killing big cats for a living though. -
I think we all know a voluntary phase out is pissing into the wind. No one is going to turn up to a high bird day with a slab of steel or god forbid bismuth! I think there's more movement on it in deer stalking world but I can't imagine the environmental impact of that is detectable in any way and the price of non toxic bullets is outrageous.

Nah not offended. There’s science says it’s extinct ie woolly mammoths and then there science says it’s extinct ie been missing a few years. LOL -
I don't believe that the majority aren't mentally capable though mate. It's just a loophole imo. I'm not saying that most don't feel the weight of their decision but I think it's a stretch to consider these people backwards. A lass I know who had an abortion is a GP and essentially had one because she couldn't bare the thought of being tied to the father. IMO she is a thoroughly decent person who was conflicted by her decision but equally neither her or her unborn embryo were really at any more risk than normal. IMO it's a loophole and if it was closed we wouldn't see a spike in pregnancy

Problem is mate that that amounts to mental health in real terms. Not physical conditions that aren't hugely open to being 'created'. I'll say again, I'm not against abortion. I just think some of these facts need to be common knowledge.

I find the whole public discussion on it totally bizarre tbh. On the one hand you've got people who are fighting for the rights of women over their own bodies but seemingly don't care about the right to life of a prenatal human. Then of course you have the philosophical argument of what exactly constitutes 'life', ie at what point of development does an embryo/foetus become a human with rights? Many would argue at the foetal stage, when it starts to look human right? But that is countered by 'so it wouldn't be murder if I assaulted a woman with the intention of causing her to abort h

Here's another terrible stat, iirc around like 40% are repeat 'aborters'. ie not their first time. Genuinely, I downloaded the official numbers from the .gov a few years ago. It tells you the different medical justifications and how many they represent, age demographics and what stage of prenatal development the embryo/foetus was in when aborted. I'm still not against abortion but it's time we dropped the sugar coated talk and recognised it for what it is, authorised euthanasia of prenatal humans out of pragmatism, not emergency.
-
I would. Mate the numbers are huge. It's like 200k in the UK and only like 3% are a medical/health necessity.

I watched a documentary, last year I think, about some tv conservationist type who managed to find a believed extinct Zanzibar Leopard. Granted, they were only recently thought to have gone but still. I remember being most surprised by how f***ing hopeless the fella seemed. I concluded the place must be lifting with the f***ing things if he managed to find one! -
I'm still trying to understand this 'underground oceans' stuff but the first thing to understand is that it seems to amount to conjecture at this time. The evidence seems to be a seismic survey that had results that matched lab based 'wet' ringwoodite (ringwoodite with hydroxyl dissolved in) measurements and two diamonds from the mantle that contained ringwoodite with 'ice VII' in. So it seems this water isn't really free to flow at all. It's chemically bonded to, or at least contained in, the crystal structure of the ringwoodite most of the time. Based on that it seems like there's f**k

Best trousers for walking/hunting/mooching
Born Hunter replied to ADAM C's topic in Hunting Boots & Clothing
I basically live in these. They're tough as f**k, have a casual look for if you don't want to draw attention but equally can go well with a more fieldsports/country look if that's what you want. They're probably the best tailored/fitting trousers I've ever worn and that 'stealth phone pocket' is ideal for slipping a sheath knife in. They're pricey but I've bought all mine when they were on offer.

For international travel? Or pubs? For domestic stuff the government have already said they do not plan on implementing it. Which leaves it down to private individuals (if it's even legal to discriminate like that?) and although there will be some who need to virtue signal and use it as a business differentiator I think the vast majority will not as they just won't care. After all the only way they will be doing business at all is when the government are happy the threat level is down for good. Internationally it'll depend on the individual countries covid strategy. For a country tha

Very much doubt that personally. Once infection rates are down and COVID is a memory then they ain't going to be turning down business. Not to mention the practicalities of it. I doubt even international travel will be a big deal long term.

We had all that a few weeks ago. Taken a turn now and starting to feel like summer is on it's way.

Haven't we done this thread already a million times? "Cancer/CVD kills more people than CV19 and we don't have lockdowns for those" "They aren't contagious or novel" "So" "So lockdowns wouldn't work" "Lockdowns don't work! Exactly what I've been saying all along...... So why don't we have them for other stuff"
-
And I'll hold that against you when you go on about socialism next!
-
Oooo wait, I want to change my answer...... 5G!
-
Has to be COVID, because I keep getting told by bricklayers and window cleaners that all deaths are going down as COVID deaths and that lockdowns don't work. But I hear microchip rejection and dna breakdown are two causes rapidly rising to the top.

No not getting withdrawal. Never do. I'm bloody well looking forward to red hot sunshine, roe bucks, spearfishing, sunshine, BBQs, maybe a bit of decoying, training the pup, sunshine, ratching about rivers with the dogs on hot days, spinning for trout, roebucks and sunshine. Not quite finished up traditional winter vermin 'activities' yet though.
