badshot Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 And just how are those returns on your bunnies?:(?? The only return on bunnies is the simple satisfaction of picking up the dead ones as i shoot them . The ferrets and dogs enjoy them too. Don't think i could make a living at it though. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjimmer Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 Gave it up when it became reliant on handouts from a government that thinks more of foreigners than us. If I wanted to make a living by filling in forms for the government, I could do that at the jobcentre. Gone over to leisure in the form of fishing lakes, and probably going into letting out property. When the reality of this economic crisis becomes clear, and we can no longer afford to import food, I might get back into egg production. In th 50's, a dozen eggs cost more than a gallon of petrol. Just wait for the impact that banning battery cage egg production will have! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delbert Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 I had mine removed about 20 years ago I couldn't sit down for a week but it was well worth the discomfort dammed things used to 'go orf' on the grouse moors a true pain in the ***** and no way to sort out the bleeding till we finished the day. OK I was just having a laugh but now they have gone I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
