    Saw a stand off this morning on the way to the station. Squirrel v pigeon v massive crow. Squirrel didn't run to be fair. Crow looked game.

    I see crow having a dink at the Buzards round here mate, regularly!

  • Crowes are hard as nails.

    I cannot, nor will I ever understand how a human being could ever abuse or deliberately kill an animal. I have three cats who I totally adore and if ever anyone ever did anything to hurt them then rest assured that I would seek my own form of retribution. There must be something wrong with the people who carried out the above atrocities, some form of psycopathy. Jeffrey Dahmer was fascinated with killing and disecting animals and look how he turned out.
    We as human beings have a duty to protect other sentient beings but far too many people have the arrogance that because we've hit the top of the food chain we have the right to kill, maim, exploit and demean animals and to be honest it makes me f**king sick. Sometimes I think evolution should have stopped at the Great Apes.

    Cats kill wild animals (inculding song birds) for fun, just saying.
  • Our ducks hate pigeons, they're always chasing them around the garden. One of them caught one by it's tail feathers a while ago as it tried to take off. Held on and was shaking it for quite some time before the pigeon got free.
  • @BIG_ROB yes, I know what you're saying and yes, on occaision my cats are guilty but I'm too tired to get into it tonight mate.

    Why should we prefer the reds over the greys?

    I'm going to start up a Grey Squirrel Association.

    Reds are native, greys are an invasive species that has whipped out most of the reds due to disease and size.

    I think you are missing the general point to the thread. I disagree with killing animals that come into the domestic garden indiscriminately. I feed the squirrels, birds, foxes, used to feed the badgers too. I have two dogs and a new cat. I am of the view that i love all animals and like to see them living free without harm. If they harm each other thats the rule of nature nothing i can do about that.

    At my last house the neighbour on my other side (not the killer) lost all of his 20 chickens to the fox, having left them out loose, too late one evening. He was absolutely distraught, but he never once thought of taking his retibution out on the foxes. He still feeds them to this day.

    I have had to kill a pidgeon once after a cat had it and it was such an aweful thing for me to do. My ex-neighbour working for Rentakil clearly has different feelings. A slight side issue but he's also a pagan witch with a coven in his attic, so i've heard.

    Typical white, middle class, liberal taking offence on someone else's behalf.
  • Red squirrels can join too
  • Hate cats with a passion and I'm absolutely shit scared of pigeons.
  • once had to chop pidgeons heads off in a attic with a school chum for his builder dad
  • I love my cats and they love me.

    Come round mine and see my pussy gaz. You'll love him :D

    While were on the subject of cats, mine strolled in yesterday with a massive cut on the side of his body. He looked like he had the right hump and weren't too keen on going back out.

    Since then I've seen another Ginger puss strolling around acting proper Danny dyer. Think he may be the culprit for cutting my cat

    Should see it round my way. Some nights there's a feline interpretation of West Side Story! One of mine's a proper hardman. He even scares me.
  • Didn't know there was a feline interpretation of me?

    If you're a squalling, howling tangle of fur and adrenaline then yep, there is.
  • Can you not set a trap for your neighbour....maybe use your wife as bait, entice him into your garden and then smash his fucking head in with a pick?

  • Bit late, he's since moved from the neighbour.
  • I love my cats and they love me.

    Cats do not love you.

    If they were big enough they would eat you. No question.

  • I love my cats and they love me.

    Pussy galore.
  • Cats are brilliant as soon as I get my own place I am getting a ginger one and calling it Puss, anyone who doesn't like animals has got something wrong with them. Look at the dolphins who save people from being attacked by sharks works both ways! ;.)

    Hmm. My ex-neighbour looks like the dad in the wierd neighbourhood family in the film The Burbs and my wife is a blond haired blue-eyed Swedish nurse. Not sure he'd take the bait, lol.

    Anyway if he did, i wouldn't need a pick, she'd be dangerous.
  • Prince - your ex neighbour is a sicko. No doubt about that.

    Well, that's the Masons initiation ceremony for you Nollwall.

  • I don't like the way my missus kills geckos, occasionally stamping on them but usually she tries to catch them alive and throw them out of the window. Although they eat mosquitoes and ants, they do make a mess with their crap.

    Thai style rat traps we do have to use occasionally. Basically they are a round tray covered in glue, baited in the middle with some nice titbit, bread and jam for example. The rat goes to eat the bait, first gets its feet stuck and then the fur and that's it. If it makes a noise other rats may go to see what's happening and suffer the same fate. One of our staff has the job of disposing of the tray in the morning. It doesn't matter how clean your place is, rats do find their way into places with food about.

    I like to leave snakes alone as they eat the rats and the geckos. A couple of weeks back we had a green tree snake eating a skink in our laundry area with quite lot of guests spectating.
