  1. What the freedom of information response actually said was: "3 separate observations of shot badgers twitching and shaking for a short period of time being shot (CS1 & CS3). No way to know for certain whether this was just post mortem muscle spasm or a still conscious badger in the final throws" And just look at the fuss they are making about it. yet its fine to cut an animals throat without stunning first if its done to appease a religion

  3. but where does it end, my dogs have never seen a giraffe Exactly, where does it end? That's why the title 'all rounder' isn't all it's cracked up to be. If the dog hasn't been run on all available quarry in the Uk then I can't see how it can be crowned 'all rounder'. It's just so easy to bull dogs up when they've done very little. Especially so on the 'net. very good point ,but even those when given plenty ,and with the given capabilitys of the full spectrum . Will and do usually go on and start to favour a given species atbbunnys. strange but true, i have witnessed mine pass

  7. Specific. Can't say more than that, but if anyone gets the opportunity, go for it BUT...... only commit if you are prepared to work hard. There's lot's of support; part of my role was mentoring the local contractors. Cull companies are being discussed and set up in TB hotspots. If you aren't in a TB hotspot, forget it. thats fine but what about the likes of the farm down the road who has had two cases of positive reactors in the last 5 years despite not being in a tb hotspot, surely there must be planning for satellite culls in small areas or is it going down the lines of f
  8. Hundreds of Jigsaws have been stolen in one night. Detectives say they are trying to piece the evidence together.

  9. good job you were wearing your ruby slippers
  10. never owned a dog that minced rabbits maybe i have never owned a dog that felt threatened enough by one to even bother to kill it though
  11. do you know what thought did?
  12. to much thought tends to find problems that maybe wouldn't have been a problem without the thought
  13. Curioser and curioser ....! I've certainly seen enough wild spar's take starlings. Granted; I can't, hand on heart say I've then watched them Eat the f**kers. And now, I need to delve Deep into the old memory banks and go waaaaay back ....! It's the skin, Paul. It's something about their skin. Sparrows ye can eat, as are. I've eaten sparrow. But, starling? Ye supposed to skin the f**kers. I don't remember why now. But, there is, look. Something to do with their skin What a fun thread this is morphing into Chock full of tiny snippets of absolutely f**king useless informatio
  14. Young Paddy bought a donkey from a farmer for £100. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day. The next day he drove up and said, 'Sorry son, but I have some bad news. The donkey's died.' Paddy replied, 'Well then just give me my money back.' The farmer said, 'Can't do that. I've already spent it.' Paddy said, 'OK, then, just bring me the dead donkey.' The farmer asked, 'What are you going to do with him?' Paddy said, 'I'm going to raffle him off.' The farmer said, 'You can't raffle a dead donkey!' Paddy said, 'Sure I can. Watch me. I just won't tell anybody he's dead.' A month
  15. how can a test of a culling method even be ineffective

  17. now mine ate both heron and fox but no way they would touch a mole
  18. That's interesting, Matt. That you specify birds and badgers. Birds, to the best of my 'knowledge' (Or complete lack of it on this point) have no sense of taste, as such, I think? I always sort of justified this with the consideration that seed eaters hardly needed it. Vultures must be f**king glad they lack it! ) But, that would account for birds abilities to eat the vile things. Only badgers though? This is interesting. So, badgers, TC's cat and mole on mole. No foxes, Dogs or mustalids? And yet, a mouse wouldn't last five minutes. If I had the time and mental energy any more, I'd
  19. aye, he's got 3x3 posts and 2 4x4 posts for the gate, the slats are from pallets. It's going to be about 30 feet long and 6 foot high and so far he has stripped 8 pallets out of 15, I can't see it being enough Where the hell did he find 6ft pallets for the slats? The pallets will be 5x4....the fence will be a foot of the ground....lol maybe he will make a trellis out of the privet branches and sticky backed plastic
  20. finish it using a leather belt. the reverse side, use the buckle to anchor it to something then just do alternate strokes
