So the rule is now "one can shoot ugly creatures"?

I admit, they aren't pretty up close, and I am sure they smell, but without them we'd all be smelling rotten carrion and looking at a whole lot worse then a hunched up bird with a red face (hmm, sounds kind of like some chickens).

As a side, when I was a kid my parents convinced me that if I lay on the ground really still the vultures would come down. I must have been there for half an hour before my parents told me the truth

I haven't had the heart to try that on my own kids, but I'm sure they would have done the same thing as me

To OP: I understand that when we think our beloved pets are in danger that it's hard to not rush off to do whatever we think is necessary to protect them. I'm sure when something like this arises again you will be more cautious about what actions to take, we all make mistakes and hope for better from ourselves the next time.

I wouldn't worry about it all that much. Turkey vultures are the most disgusting bird I've ever seen in my life! Yes they do sit in wait of something that is dying & they will zero in on a *dead thing* faster than you can blink......

where is it implied we can only shoot it if it's an ugly creature? I never said any such thing. What I said was "I wouldn't worry about it all that much. Turkey vultures are the most disgusting bird I've ever seen in my life!" I'll still stand by that too. I never said they are exclusive to shoot or even the "ugly creatures" I just said I wouldn't worry about it! & Ashes to ashes dust to dust I'd rather see thing buried than picked apart in the streets etc.... Ewwww

What you did say was that your god made the lovely little hawks, etc to take care of nasty little vermin like mice, etc. You ignored MY question, however. Who do you credit with the creation of the vulture and the nasty little vermin the hawks eat?

I suppose you could always start a bury the roadkill program in your area and see how well it goes over.

Better get the shovel ready.

In saying not to worry about it (the fact that she shot and killed a harmless creature), because it's ugly and disgusting you said essentially the same thing I did. Telling someone that it's okay to make mistakes is one thing, telling them not to worry about it because you deem the creature disgusting is quite another.

BTW, if you bury a rotten animal you have many more issues than aesthetics, groundwater contamination and resulting disease being one of many nasty little surprises that would come up.

i didnt see ANYWHERE where she said "her god" made only the cool birds,,,i did read that she thinks their disgusting,(and i think they stink lol) ,,, and whats wrong with that?,, i think turkens are the ugliest things in a pen,, but that doesnt mean i think they should be shot, or "my god" didnt make em.
Is there something wrong in thinking an animal is ugly?
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
and YES they serve a purpose,, you cant bury everything,, it would actually POISON the earth, and pass on diseases,,,they have a roll, an important 1,,,,just like the dung beetle.
BUT on the other hand,,, the law on NOT shooting them is stupid. they like any other animal have gotten "special" treatment, which is cool,,,,but it went OVERBOARD. when you HAVE to let a bunch of birds destroy your house, car, roofs,,,,theres something wrong.

Re-read her post then.

She said thank god for....insert her bird of choice...they serve a purpose. Therefore implying he didn't make these nasties.

if i did,,i would take it as she thanks god for the birds she thinks are cute,,,,,,, i thank god for lots of things,, but i dont thank him for lice, fleas, ticks, skunks,,,,,,,,but,,THAT DOESNT MEAN i dont think he made them,,, means i dont like em.
