just you wait untill you run out of oil, nobody accept fish as currency.
To be serious: at the moment the euro has got a little weaker because of greece, but compare the euro at 2001 against the $ and the 2010. huge difference!

I am rokin that shit right now. I send money to my UK bank account and I am getting a good amount of pounds for the dollars I send.

I like the way how you comment on how the thread is getting out of hand, then you post a pic of a dillo you guys killed and say how awesome it was. Fan those flames. I'll bite.

Satire, my good fyn

Considering how diverse the US is (hell, just go to the four biggest cities in *Texas* and tell me you haven't changed planets), I think the two sides of the pond are now on even footing as far as silly stereotypes.

They are mole holes.

Mole holes? I have had moles in my yard and they were never that big. You guys must have moles on steroids

yes.. exactly.. you could stick a football down the biggest of those 3 holes.

Lighten up, guys. Don't blow this out of proportion. I can totally understand where James is coming from.


Myself, I had a Jack Russel named "Vader" for yard-defense. The little bastard regularly killed birds, squirrels, & rabbits. Utterly fearless too.... he tried to take on a badger one day, but I had to put a stop to it before it got out of control.

One day, we had the entire family over for a barbecue. He trots up to my wife & drops a rabbit at her feet (a very clean broken-neck kill, I might add), and I swear he was thinking, "Hey, throw this on the grill for me, will ya?"

Ah, didn't see this post until now.
That dog is awesome

fyn.. you paint yourself here as some super-homeowner, wildlife defender, armadiilo expert, and holder of some moral high ground.

well, bullshit, plain and simple. due to neighbors, local laws, and the fact that kids and pets play in my yard, the best solution for us is to kill them. tough shit you don't like it. go right back to soapbox and think to yourself about how superior your thoughts on the matter are to my actions... but keep it to yourself, heard enough of your bleeding heart BS on the subject, frankly.

or better yet, tell me where you live.. if it's within driving distance i'll capture them from now on and release them on your property.

you sound, despite your assertions, like you don't really have much experience with them at all. the FACT is that you likely don't have ants in your yard... good for you if you live somewhere that you can manage that.. but out here where i live, it's impossible to keep them out, and ants are one of the the armadillo's favorite snacks... and in case you haven't been reading (and it seems you have only been reading selectively) shooting them has been working out excellently for me... every time i shoot one it's weeks or months before another shows up. i like that plan... a lot.

further and finally, what is your problem with the concept of dead things several feet underground? do you really seriously think you can convince me or anyone else that this is a problem? are you stubborn or just thick?

Yeah this.

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

I fully support James or anyone else defending their property against vermin and predators.

Yeah, this as well. I don't own a gun or plan to, but god damn I will defend you right to use it.

Seriously "oh noes you killed a critter with a gun" as something bad? Fuck off.

Even if he enjoyed it, FUCK OFF YOUR ARGUMENT IS RETARDED.

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

I'm also going to call ahead and call bullshit on anyone who would "look for alternate ways" in regards to the matter.

James has stated that either you hire someone to kill it or you kill it. Lets see expensive exterminator or a couple of pest control rounds. Little fucker had to die one way or another.

 

[Jevil]

Just to pester a bit more...

Imagine you are confortably playing with your children in the garden.
Your neighbour have the unpleasant visit of an armadillo, he take his gun and start shooting at the little bastard.

Isn't it more dangerous and harmful to gun it down than the animal itself?


In Europe we prefer traditional weapons to get rid of rabbits and dragons.

Nice meltdown. We heard you the first time. You have a reply, happy now?

Is that what you do, shout on top of your lungs to prove you are right? There is no wrong or right in this debate. People just handle it in different ways.

I keep "vermin" as pets and when I can, I just paint the positives for them.

If you see them from a different perspective, you just may let them get on with their business.

For instance I once bought a hairless rat. It was a tiny baby, and I introduced it to the 3 female fully grown rats I had. To my horror the oldest rat bit the baby and started dragging it. I freaked out, and separated them, waited a bit and introduced them again...Same thing. The same rat bit and dragged the baby again, my wife told me to see what happened. Bluebell was dragging the baby into the nest. Like cats do with kittens by the scruff. She was actually adopting squishy (we called the hairless rat squishy because she looked like a shaved coin purse). So Bluebell raised squishy like she was her own and they were inseparable.

Check this out:



It is a baby armadillo that thinks the cat is her mother. It keeps following the cat (they have terrible eyesight). Does that make you feel a little bit sorry for it? Or put a more human face on vermin?

So I have proof I get loads of animals on my property. My house isn't sinking into the ground, I don't have leprosy or rabies and the only damage is holes in my yard. And I don't give a shit about some holes, because I am a motherfucker.

Ah my bad. From the perspective they looked smaller when you look at the grass width etc.
