However, bluebottles and daddy longlegs' get stunned and thrown onto the web of Steve the Spider III. I like to think I give everything a fighting chance. No problems killing humans then? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past I'd have wood pigeons, rabbits, squirrels etc, used to do some ratting too. You've spent years mocking me as a bumpkin, calling me Cletus and the like. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coprolite Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 I never killed anyone that didn't deserve it. Garden pests deserve it. Aphids, lilly beetles, snails are all regularly mechanically dispatched. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Tennis Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 I try to avoid killing anything, always putting spiders etc outside. I do this in order to feel virtuous, but of course I constantly pay other people to kill things for me to eat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from that I usually leave spiders alone and try and usher flies out of the window unless they're still buzzing about at 2 in the morning. Slug pellets got put down in the garden otherwise the new plants would have soon disappeared. You should try beer traps instead. Slug pellets also get eaten by our hodgeheg friends and they are on the endangered list (not because of this, but it aint helping). E.T.A. I'm also one of those "kill nothing except food" hippy b*****ds on here. Even snails get launched into the neighbour's garden rather than be dispatched personally.

Shotgun Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 It bugs me more than a bit that I've never killed my own food. I've caught fish and released them, and inadvertently swallowed beasties while riding my bike but when it comes to the animals I've chosen to eat, the killing has always been done by someone else. As an enthusiastic meat-eater, I feel this is something I should do, even if it's just once. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is, and I have the rifle, skinning knives and whatnot to do the deed. I've taken a hunter safety class which entitles me to apply for a licence and even have friends who hunt and have invited me along. I've just never done it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, one of my neighbours keeps hairy coos like the one in my avatar. Back in a bit. Carry on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
