JohnGalway Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Do what I do. I make the best smelling pigeon pies, rabbit casseroles etc and when I have to warm it up in the microwave in the office kitchen everybody around wants a taste and asks what is that lovely smell? Some even tried some pie and want more of it !!!!!!! IMO by far the best answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-G Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 I can't help but wonder how veggies can't comprehend that if rabbits were not controlled there would be no vegatables or cereal in things called fields - nor cows eating grass.

Mrs Sweepy Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Where i used to work they just used to call me the Road Kill Lady. I have never had problems with anyone at work over what we do. In matter of fact most show alot of interest when i tell them that we butcher are own meat. xxxSuzy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudpatten Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 I have an "ignoranti" at my place of work who used to go round, with almost no success, trying to collect money for various "animal welfare" charities. The sort that anyone with half a brain realised were little more than a front for home grown extremists. One morning I rushed, all breathless and agitated, into her her office and and blurted out - " I`ve just seen the most appalling sight. Hundreds of animals bred in horrible, artificial conditions and killed without mercy. They never stood a chance! There are bits of them laying about all over the place. What can we do?" She practically had her coat on and was halfway out of the door when she asked "Where is this place?" "Just up the road." I answered, "It`s called Tesco."

danmar94 Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Get yourself a nice fox's head mounted on your office wall. Perhaps a couple of stuffed rabbits on your desk? Should go down a treat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan147 Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Next time these girlies come in with a new pair of shoes ask them if they are leather or not and wait for the reaction - when you ask wonder what animal the leather came from? Dare I ask what do they eat on their sandwiches? I dont have that problem in my office, just outside my office window is a small wood and its full of life. The rest of the office say to me look at that rabbit, squirrel outisde or the wood pigeon. They know I go rabitting and ask could you get that? They ask what I get and do I eat what I shoot. We swop recipe ideas as to what you can do with what. They even ask on a monday morning if I have been shooting or fishing over the weekend! I have a photo gallery of my fishing pics on the board by my desk, great talking point. When I was interviewed for the job the HR boss a woman told me about the pheasants outside and asked about my shooting and fishing and said afterwards what a interesting person I was! Just goes to prove not everyone is narrow minded they just need educating. Can I have a week in your office please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 I had this with our bunny hugging receptionist... (She seriously hugs bunnies, donates to rabbit charities etc. ). She hates me already because she knows I feed frozen rabbits to my Burmese python.... Anyway, she signed for a large carcass tray I had delivered to work for stalking. Then the inevitable question came... "what is that for?" We've barely spoken since. Cracked me up! well done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobt Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Our office is staffed by full time people,and rotating in and out. one of the admin is a farmers daughter, five of the staff shoot (out of 30) my mates lad used to beat for our shoot before he became a teacher (I guess he has a balanced view now?) we have two veggie types and a few squeamish girls, they all know and ask what I have been up to over the weekend and often I have been out early morning before work. I go to scotland goose shooting and stalking a few times ayear, but other than the odd request for a leg of venison I never get any problems, even when my boss gave me a veggie as an assistant once,(I took her to feed the pond one afternoon,) she had to agree the birds had a better life than most reared meat.

LEFTY478 Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 (edited) harfordwmj Offer your boss to run an outwardsbound weekend for the firm and invite your new anti friends along. Then simply, bury the bodies somewhere they won't be found. Job jobbed. Hope this helps... Edited March 27, 2009 by LEFTY478 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Guess I am lucky as I get to go clay bashing with one of the directors. Last week I trapped a rodent that had been getting into work. I nipped home for my S400 and administered the coup de grace infront of a few colleagues.

And rub your old man round the inside of their tea cups - it won't educate or change their minds, but you'll pee your self laughing forever. As close to a perfect solution as I can think of. Nicely done Flashman. Where I work I get no problems at all, and I make no secret whatsoever of my shooting. I think that it is either because I am the boss, or because everyone who works for me is either in the forces or is ex forces, and therefore the proportion of limp-wristed gaylords zero. In fact, I have quite a nice little sideline in the supply of rabbit and pigeon going on. ZB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hambone Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Reached an agreement with the vegi / anti i work with, if he don't peel carrots in front of me i don't gut rabbits in front of him. ( it only took one rabbit for him to see the sense in this arrangment). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taff Mason Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 im lucky as i'm in the same situation as zap. one of my bosses is a bit anti, but most of the guys there show an interest in what i get upto on the weekends, after getting to know them one has got his shotgun license and 2 more are aplying for theirs. i've got one mate who loves eating game now and regularly asks me to give him pigeons ect. we do have one veggie, but he knows the score, he doesn't complain at all and still shows an interest. i definately think you will win them over sooner or later. an if all else fails follow flashmans advice, in fact just do it anyway because its good for morale!!!

Dead-Eyed Duck Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Tell them that you only shoot fluffy rabbits cos you lost the club that you used to beat baby seals on the head with This always provokes a silence, and they will then start to look at you in a decidedly edgy way :( Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a slightly more serious note I do hope Flashman was joking, no matter what a person's misguided opinions are, that treatment is nauseating.
