Ribh's D'Coopage

[Ribh]

Yea, hubs could def cull if I ever need him too.. he’s a duck hunter and on occasion when they just wound a duck and the dog brings it in alive he has to kill it on the spot.. and when he would bring the boys hunting as little children and I found this out.. you know, how he would ring it’s neck right there in front of my sweet innocent little angels !!!!!! I was livid!!!! And all the while I’m at home teaching them how to catch and raise and release these sweet little ducklings ... but now they know how to ring a neck too and it doesn’t faze them... MEN... but honestly.. that’s what I love about em.. how they can just take care of business!!
Last year when I got my chicks.. I had them maybe only 8 weeks and a giant rat took up residence right next to the mini coop.. hubs chased it down and chopped it with a shovel !!! I couldn’t even listen to it squeal .... he’s SO manly

Oh dear. I blush to have to admit this but...the cats were chasing down this teensy weensy field mouse in the garage & it was crying sooo bad I couldn't stand it so my YD & I caught it & let it go outside. The man just looked @ us as if we were insane & said: You know it will just come right back inside, right? Well, yeah, but whatever happened after that point I wasn't going to be around for! I leave the house when the blokes are doing seafood because I know the things scream...No healthy animal wants to die & yet realistically I know the only thing to do with excess roosters is eat them ~ otherwise they create havoc & mayhem in the flock & that's not good husbandry.

Screaming seafood ... and I’ll admit... I do not watch as they dump the crawfish and crabs into the boiling water
I do not like to kill anything.. even bugs! Well, I do take enjoyment from killing wasps though .. and fire ants!

Fleas, ticks, leeches I have no qualms about.

Right!! Things like that!! Mozzies ...but NOT spiders.. I love em!!
I am thinking of getting a tarantula... I always wanted one but didn’t want one cuz I thought they only ate pinky’s and I couldn’t do that but I found out you can feed em crickets! So, maybe..

Oh, I used to have to buy live rats for my sons snake and couldn’t stand the squealing ...

No rodents. Not even guinea pigs. Rabbits are illegal in our State. Not much freaks me out in the wildlife department. We had a carpet snake living in our roof for years & hubby had a pet roo [as in kangaroo] as a kid. Cousins had wallabies. My brothers had a salt water fish tank & I've seen sharks & seahorses hatch ~ & the never ending saga of the blue ring octupi. Man, can those things squeeze through minute gaps!

WhoDat you'll love this... We were having a customer appreciation day (aka cook out) after business was done. We had 100 lbs of craw fish swimming around in kiddie pools when the customer arrived. He asked what they were for, and just stared at me when I told him lunch. But once taught how to eat them, we was in love with them. BTW, I'm one of those guys who'll throw a hand full of salt in the kiddie pool to help clean them out before they go in the pot.

*sigh* My sons are pro crabbers. Christmas day they'll arrive with crabs straight from the pots & prawns still squirming. I think you would like them.

That would be fantastic

Well I tried to be kind, but my purse/car mouse is back! I’m going to put traps in the car and clean out the excess farm type stuff. We had a movie night last night, and the little bugger sampled a little of everything we brought back home, then promptly forgot about and left in the car overnight. Twizzlers, crackers, chips, chocolate bars, chocolate wafer cookies, and some cheese.

Sounds tasty!

Purse Mouse! Oh no! Your animals are so quirky it seems a shame to terminate them. What movie did you see?
