Wasn't trying to be a smartass. We would probably get along just fine Alan.
I value your thoughts. I tell my duaghter all of the time come slaughter
season ...."God put these animals on Earth to continue our lives. He gave us
the knowledge to care for them properly. It is the circle of life."
She is 6-years-old and wise. She once told me she was going to be a
vegetarian, not for love of animals but because she hates plants.
Hope you grow a winner Alan. Peace.
And yes, my Father is the wisest man I know.

Thanks Steve for the spelling lesson. Your Dad sounds like he is/was a good
guy. I'm glad you listened, and remember what he had to say.?I never did
understand why we have to kill to live. Just the way it is. Ever think how
many things die everyday so we can live? It's endless. Who is it at the end
of their posts writes ... "Life itself to it, just a mere meal to us" or
something like that.

Do you mean mame? Just poking fun! You are entitled to your opinion and
theories! I used to trap with my brother after school. We made good money.
Dad taught us to ALWAYS run the line twice a day in order to be as humane as
possible. When I administer a case of lead poisoning to the pests, I do it
as humanely as possible. I don't kill by choice, it is a neccessary evil.
For the rest of you scauflaws, I am forwarding your mails admitting state
wildlife infractions to the authorities! You can't beat me with your
pumpkins if you are all locked up!
Live and let Live.....unless it is a stinkin varmit.

It's Alan!? Here's my reply. Yes, I have a greenhouse on the side of my
home in CT. It was killing birds left and right as the flew around the house
into the glass. I cut and installed lattice on the inside of the windows.
Still let the light in, but looked to small to the birds to fly through it.
So, I figured it has saved a lot of birds life's. Does anyone remember the
TV show that had that kid learning the ways of the Masters? They had a
saying for fighting.? Never kill if you can mane, never mane if you can just
injure, never injure if you can walk away. I just won't kill by choice. If
there is any other option, I think it should be pursued. "There but for the
grace of God go I " ...and, "I won't draw blood over a pumpkin."? I've
trapped so many I can't count. I've lost a lot of pumpkins, but I feel I
made the right decision. Think of the song, Man in the mirror. (Micheal
Jackson) If you don't know it. Get it and play it. I have no trouble with
what I see.

I offended anyone especially Alan who I know hates killing critters. LOL

Alan Reynolds was offended but that's just Alan. He cries when a bird flies
into his window. LOL
I used to compost the raccoons & squirrels on the edge of the patch then
turn them in the following season.
We're at the top of the food chain for a damn good reason & I have no
intention of giving that pole position to a pumpkin killing varmint.
Don't worry about Alan. We're good friends but I'll stand up to him any day.
