Boyd, been around quite some time here on the forum, over two years, but I do always appreciate an update on the rules, your welcome to check out my thousands of post-never having had a warning from moderation on a single one. I do think it said something in those rules about compassion too, which I am all for.
Compassion.
I don't think the rules allow you to mention your willingness to shoot two legged predators also, which I believe it against the law. You passed on your advice to the OP, I passed on mine. I did not attack anyone in particular and I found very little sensitivity in many of the post as suggested by the rules. I am for true protection from harmful animals, not killing for the sake of clearing a 5 mile radius around my home all the while picking and choosing the animals I allow to survive. It seems by reading your posts that my opinion is not the first you have mocked.
Ill will stop now as my intention was never to attack anyone, as you are doing toward my post.
OP, good luck with your original situation.
