Mr Potter Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 Don't know if this is in the correct topic but here goes. Followed up an article in this weeks Shooting Times about protests against the shooting of a pigeon in a cathedral. It seems that the loony animal "rights" people have started a group solely dedicated to "protecting" the pigeon. PIGEON CAMPAIGNS UK Ph: 0797 448 5263 . Email: pigeoncampaigns@aol.com Campaigning for the protection of wild & feral pigeons, in particular against culling It beggars belief that with all the ills in the world today anyone would devote their time to campaigning on behalf of a pest and nuisance species. Lets hope they don't start taking direct action but I wouldn't bet against it within a few years. Mr. Potter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the hitman Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 The pigeons at Trafalgar square are absolutely minging, these tree huggers have no idea of the diseases these birds carry. I would'nt let my kids feed them. :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookie Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 They reckon that, what, a third of pigeons in London are born with deformities because of the environment. Hell, in most cases putting them down is a blessing. Besides, they **** all over the place and that is smelly as hell. By the way, as a Cambridge****e resident, I formally apologise for these loonies living in my county Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tell you what if you dropped a bomb on kent uni you would probably take out 40% of the animal rights activists! I came out of one of the bars before and seen 3 hippies in a tree. Looked twice, thrice and then for the fourth time. Unfortunately they still were there and I wasn't seeing things! Another time, we had the environmental officer candidates campaigning for election via leaflets, asked whether they were recyled, and got "why?" beggars believe!

I had one girl ask how I could cut a creature that was once living apart. My simple reply was to ask how she could slit her wrists, take photos of it and then upload them to Bebo. :blink: FM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 The visible, up front, Antis are less of a concern, as you can combat their actions and propaganda. I would be more alarmed at the insidious "from within" movement, that apparently are lobbying to change the way we carry out pest control. Being "from within", they have more credibility and can do more damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShaggyRS6 Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 Good advice Henry. Slightly off topic I was at one of my permissions the other day and caught some lads beating the **** out of one of the farm houses used for storage in fruit picking season. I put a flea in their ear and told them to hop it. What I should have done in hignsight was to let the police know. You never know what stories people will make up, especially, like in my case you have a gun over your shoulder. To be totally honest, I had forgotten about the gun, but looking back I can see that it could have been seen as being very threatning behaviour on my part.

pin Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 Whenever someone not involved in the shooting I am doing approaches or comes into sight I slip the gun first before making contact. You can't be too careful. We are used to seeing guns, we know when a gun is safe - in the case of a shotgun we might be able to see that from 100yds away. The general public couldn't tell the difference between a broken shotgun and an ak47 - best to make it impossible to get wrong. Not lecturing, just a good piece of advice for anyone out there.

Agreed, I was going to pop in to sort out an issue I had been having after shooting with someone but then realised me appearing on their drive with a gun (slipped obv) in the car, was just a recipe for potential problems! Although I did consider leaving the gun at home with a independent witness then going round, just to see if they made out I had threatened them. Even that I thought wasn't worth the potenitial hassle, espically as I would like a shotgun and FAC air rifle. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
