Re: Love for all creatures, great and small


Fog isn't really to blame for my decision to transfer ownership; it's been coming for a long time. Before I even started this board, I had no real desire to run another board. However given the circumstances I decided I had to to give those who couldn't stand DaRefugees an alternative. Bob can tell you I've talked about it to him before. To me, it is a relief.

As for Lee's childish behavior - he always pushes the envelope until someone with self-respect hurts his feelings by giving as good as s/he get. Then he sulks and quits the board. I had hoped that Chrissy B. would be able to mellow him out. I guess not.

Why is Lee childish because he disagrees with you? You all don't know him at all. He is the kindest and most wonderful person in the world. Of course I know you all will just write this off to me being his wife. But he did what he did and is going to do, not because of money, but because it hurt him so much that I was hurt that my pets were eaten by this heron. I'm sure my fish don't rank up there with cats and dogs for most, but they were my babies and I watched them grow from little tiny fish. They would come up and kiss our hands too. I'm sorry I ever posted about Sharky. But don't call Lee childish just because he disagrees with you.

> > Amen. We run a "peaceable kingdom" here. We lost our two pet ducks and a siamese cat to a damn 70lb snapping turtle in our pond. Believe me, he has a 30-06 with his name on it. I am my own homeowner's ass. Herons are beautiful birds, and a dime a dozen. Wring his damned neck if you can catch him. There is something to be said for the "three S" method of conservation... "shoot, shovel and shut up." God Bless, Marv emoticon (ADDENDEM) After reading back over this, I realize that I sound like a closet chicken choker. I did not mean to come across that way. We are up to our eyeballs in wild and tame life here, and love it. We have coons on our deck and enjoy them, but if they ,or a possum, gets after my chickens... They dead. Unlike the heron, in some circles, (not mine) they're edible which can temporarily compensate for the loss in hen berries. I look at it in a karmic sort of way. Chickens do not have teeth or pockets. Therefore they can't bite back or carry their own gun. Therefore I try to provide them some kind of cover. If a chicken were to attack me or my family, I would shoot it as well. It will upset my homeowner's ass, but I will get over it.

I'm with you Marv. I guess my parent's next-door-neighbor's dog was just doing what "came naturally" when he swam out into the lake (two different times, a couple of weeks apart)and killed my parent's beautiful black swans. Of course, my uncle in Houma was also doing what "came naturally" when he blew a hole in the 9 foot alligator on his back porch. His two kids were doing what "came naturally" to them too, which was standing on the chair and screaming.

This month's Reader's Digest has an interesting article about mountain lions.

Are you certain that none were taken by the otters, the raccoon, or the possom?

BTW, I don't think he's childish because I disagree with him, I think he's childish because when someone disagrees with him and gives him a dose of his own medicine, he runs away and sulks. If he's so mature, why doesn't he stay and fight his own battles?
