Armadillo madness...

Nowadays I feel pretty bad about hurting and killing animals. There's some "funny" animal torture pictures on the internet that I don't find funny at all, rather shocking instead.

I blame my ex for that.

I remember eating Armadillo Droppings that they sell in Texas. Those things taste fucking good, but they're as bad for your health as you'd expect. :goggly: "Nutty but nice", the box said. Awesome shit.
 
Sorry dude but the way you tell the story makes me think you really enjoy killing animals with your guns and you feel proud of it.
oh? and which part of my post would that be? this part?:

"poor guy... but it was him or my yard.... my yard wins,

seriously though, i truly do not enjoy killing them... but it's the only way to be rid of them and the damage they do to property... not to mention to your ankle if you step in the holes they dig all over the place.

R.I.P. little armoured dude."

yeah, i just have a bloodlust.. you know me so well. :rolleyes:

for the record, i have only shot 4 animals in my life.... and they were all armadillos who were actively engaged in infesting and destroying my yard.

Enjoying killing animals?
Oh, nothing, it is great! Very sane and funny.

yes, and it's sooo sane to leave a disease-ridden infestation of hole-digging rodents in the yard that my elderly mother, who has osteoporosis and can't afford to take a fall, walks in.. the same yard that my nephews and nieces play in... yeah, that would be sane. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

look, i've attempted to make a bit light of it because it does bother me to have to kill another creature... but unless you own a home and live in the countryside, you are not likely to understand... and i really don't care what you think to be honest, i posted this for somewhat therapeutic reasons.... to laugh at myself a bit, not to come under the judgement of someone who has no idea at all what it's like to live where i live, and to own a home which those little fuckers endanger by digging around the support pilings, and by leaving their diseased droppings everywhere.

and NO, there is no agency which will come out to where i live and do anything at all about the situation... our government does NOT consider it an animal control issue, they consider it a rodent infestation issue.

end of story.
 
Sometimes you just have to kill animals... It´s kinda sad, but thats just how it is. We had a mole (no armadillos in germany ;-) in our garden once and we had to kill it because of all the holes.
 
Top of the food chain for a reason folks. Its just mother nature/natural selection. Don't dig near .357 wielders!

Being in australia I have alot of deadly/not deadly things in my backyard. And I'm in the suburbs! Dillo's (yeah I read dildos too :lol: ) would freak me out. At least red bellied black snakes dont have armour. And keep the deadlier brown snakes away :)
 
IMO next time you go dillo-huntin' you should make a vid of it to see if all of our mental images are as funny as the real thing....not a fan of killing animals either but the way he posted it definitely gave me a laugh

My parents live in a countryside, fortunately we do not have armadillos, which i didn't know they were lepra carriers. We have just some inofensive hedgehogs and cats. Well, cats are not so inofensive, they carry many diseases, but anyway, I was not telling you that is wrong to kill an animal for a right cause or for a menace to your health. But I had the impression that you had enjoyed killing it just for the way it is told.

I'm happy to know you didn't.

Where the hell did you find that hahahaha :lol:
 
Sometimes you just have to kill animals...

that being said, animals kill each other all the time, and for a number of reasons. in the case of one animal killing another for good, their prey is usually still alive while being consumed. do you think the predator stops to mull over the plight of his prey? i seriously doubt it.

killing is a part of living. get over it.
 
This thread reminds me of the pages long debate that ensued when Obama swatted that fly on national TV. You guys can be a strange bunch :goggly:.

Fact is the thing was a pest and had to be neutralized. I highly doubt James is sitting in a tree in his back yard, zeroing in on the fuckers when they pop their heads out of the yard, and enjoying every second of it.

Fortunately we don't get too many dangerous animals here in NJ...only the occasional racoon and possum. Those possums are nasty little beasts. Sharp ass teeth and whatnot.

If one of those came near my dogs, I'd have to shoot it rather than waiting for animal control.

In fact one did come near my dog once and they had a hissing match. I wish I was home for that, hahaha.

A possum, you mean? Reminds me of the time my family and I were at a lake way back when, and our last dog swam out to inspect a passing swan, who was definitely NOT amused :lol:

Haha yup. My Corgis are tough little bitches, but if that damn possum actually attacked one, they would be fucked! My dad saw them squaring off outside. :lol:

Man that sounds hilarious...you think Rufus would confront one, or is he too much of a puss?
