Could you not report him to your equivalent of the RSPCA?


Good question (aspca/humane society/animal control.. all possible people I could run it by). I am not sure what he is doing is illegal. But GRRR!!!



Not long ago a wife called the cops on her husband. He was trapping squirrels in his yard and drowning them in his fountain. I think he was mad because some of them got into his attic.

in the attic they can be destructive. I can actually be sympathetic to that, I know people who learned(the hard way) to not make friends with squirrels TOO close to the house. A lawn, in what used to be orchards(and honestly the black walnut leaves do more damage from acid than ANY squirrel would DREAM of)? Not so much.

I think the Al Bundy family came from around here (Married with children reference)

That's not Angela, nor her arm.
It looks like the face of fun,
done under an inky farm.
So, shrink it down to a KFC bun,
and you can see I have won.

D'oh, this is the wrong thread,
for an inky raccoon and the other shed.
It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues

Alas, alack, again I've missed
Our Poet's Day... and I am pissed!
I was away all day this time
I wasn't here with John to rhyme.
I'm sorry friend, next week, I say,
I'll hang around the thread and play.

The bird feeders are fully stocked, the suit containers are full, seeds, corn, peanuts, and bread are spread all around. We are getting a light snow, and I should get some good pictures. The neighbors chickens are out, so they may come to feed too! I love feeding critters!

It seems I am feeding 3 of my neighbors' cats along with my ancient (17 years old come April) dog. As she has aged, she has grown more tolerant of them. Except when she catches them at her food dish when she wants to eat - then there are harsh words exchanged, which I can sometimes hear in the house. No blood on the floor, and they keep coming back, so...

When the birds come to the feeders, I sit with a cattapult and many 1/2" ball bearings to shoot at the neighbours if they try to hunt the birds.

Great sport with the ....
