Some kinda beetle or something. Was at the gas station and it was flailing around on its back. I took an old popsicle stick and offered it for said beetle to grasp hold of. When it did i moved it to the curb supporting the gas pumps where it sat twitching for a few minutes. When it stopped i thought it was dead so i poked it again and it flew off buzzing. I felt good about it.

I felt good about it. I killed a groundhog from about 125 yards away. I used my niece's Remington 700 in .17 Rem just to see if I could figure out why she likes such a small calibre. I'd probably need to be a little closer if i used a popsicle stick. |

Wow. What a genuine badass tough guy you are. |

The hypocrisy of somebody who eats meat that somebody else killed for them (in a much more brutal fashion) having a problem with hunting = indescribable. I've known people who like to eat groundhogs but they're too greasy for me. The dogs seem to enjoy it quite well though. |

I thought he farmed pigs, to which groundhogs are not a natural predator that I'm aware of. Apologies if I am in error. The "pig farmer" thing was always more of a joke than anything. I raise about a dozen feeder pigs each year but haven't had a breeding hog operation in over a decade. I've always raised beef cattle, chickens, corn and winter wheat as far as raising anything for market is concerned. I raise a little of almost everything else just for personal use. I killed the groundhog yesterday on my mother's farm that my girls have been helping to run since my dad, their granddad, died a few years ago. Her farm is a diversified poultry operation (chickens, turkeys, ducks and geese), a small peach and pecan orchard, and about 25 acres of cotton. Groundhogs can fuck up a cotton field in a short time. |

Yeah, it's much easier to have somebody else do your killing for you so you can maintain the sanctimony and hypocrisy. |

Yeah, it's much easier to have somebody else do your killing for you so you can maintain the sanctimony and hypocrisy. Somewhat easier. If America is reduced back to a hunter-gatherer society someday, you can do the hunting, and I'll do the gathering. Thus, the sanctimony and hypocrisy can be maintained.  |

Great. In the future, the bugs will have a statue of you made in honor of the man that saved the "Father Of Us All"... as the rest of us humans slave in their dung mines.  |

I have a bird feeder, but I only keep bird feed in it Saturdays and Sundays. That's so that Monday through Friday they have to get their normal diet that probably includes insects harmful to trees. It is likely very safe to feed them all week. In order to impact the environment it would take a lot more than one person with one bird feeder and it would have to be all of a sudden. If it caught on slowly things would adjust and maintain balance. For example birds get a lot of food from parking lots where people discard food with other trash. Seagulls come to Richmond apparently for nothing but parking lot trash. That's only in the winter months though. That happened gradually though and so it got folded in to the normal balance. All sorts of birds (some of the same ones who visit me) frequent dumpsters that are supposed to be kept closed, but usually aren't. That also got folded in to the normal balance and is not a problem (except that dumpsters smell bad) for the balance of nature.

I always wanted to be vegetarian but didn't have the capacity to sacrifice meat eating. I don't complain about those who raise animals because after-all I enjoy meat. So it will be extremely hypocritical to complain against those who raise poultry or animals for meat. Only rights I believe I have is in regards to objecting against unnecessary violence that some animals are subjected to before they are killed. |
