➡I accidentally bought Balut eggs: 2 live ducks! Now a Chat Thread!

Squirrels - rats with good Public Relations.
I like them in a good sauce piquante. Draw the line at squirrel head gumbo. Brians - just don't like them.

I just threw up in my mouth.

I hate shopping too... in the summer I eat from the Garden and chicken and turkey from the freezer or fresh ... and what else I have stockpiled....didn't go to the grocery store at all last summer/fall

That’s awesome! I’ve seen people use ferrets for rabbiting just to flush them out, but haven’t seen one actually hunt yet.
Mink on the other hand are badass. I would love to get into hunting with mink if I had the time and opportunity.

I truly don’t understand how this could freak you out.

I would enjoy murdering every mink I saw. Awful creatures. Not because they freak me out (I think that they're pretty cute) but they kill my birds if given the slightest opportunity and then they don't even bother eating them. Jerks.

Absolutely agree. I used to think they were cute, but then I got chickens. Now, they are four legged murderous slimeballs.

They took my favourite ducks from me two years ago. I'm not quite over it. I loved those things like children.

I also lost a lovely runner drake to a mink. Almost lost a partially tufted Cayuga to one as well. Her fro saved her and we caught it in time before he drowned her. Her poof grew back white and she's been weird ever since. Not that I blame her. I blame the filthy mink.

Pushmowing in the summer= death! I.AM.DONE!!!

Haha, yep. Everything is cute until you get livestock.

I’ve had to forcefully learn to separate my personal feelings from my unbiased opinion on certain animals.
I think raccoons are amazing animals, I love the way they look and their intelligence is amazing. I’m prepared to treat one in the future if someone brought one to me when I’m a vet, but I personally hate what they’ve done to past birds and how sadistic they can be and will shoot them when needed.

Same thing with having pet rats.. I feed mice to my leopard gecko and am the resident mouse trap setter/emptier. I dunno.
Comes with the territory of living on the fence I guess.

Once you go ride-on mower you can’t go back.

For sure. I have a hard time not respecting all living creatures for what they do (bugs included) and what they are capable of, but it doesn't always jive with my personal feelings and attachment to my critters. I guess bearing the responsibility of another's life changes things.
