Pet Peeves

My biggest, and absolute worst pet peeve is something I call the “Bambi” reaction. I got no problems going out and killing my dinner – actually, I think people who want to eat meat should be forced at some point to kill what they eat, so they don’t loose that connection to where thier food comes from. As it is, I have no problem going out and killing a deer to eat, and given a choice, I prefer doe meat to buck meat. This almost always gets the reaction “You would shoot Bambi’s mom?” from folks. Well, here’s the truth of the matter about deer. Hunting season is during the fall – six months after fawns are born – by that time they are weaned, and more than able to fend for themselves, even if they do hang around mom for a while after. Doe hunts are all but banned here in California, and in some places (Angel Island) the deer are literally starving because there’s just too many of them for an area to support – this is going on on the east coast with white-tail deer as well. The best way to manage a population of deer is to hunt the females – a single buck can impregnate as many does as he can, but you start reducing the number of females, and fewer babies are born, thus managing the population better. Andin the case of white-tail s this is good. Because white tails can breed at six months of age, and often throw twins.

I so second that, Zorse.

Thats just another example of people making policy and not knowing the facts… kinda like BSL.

I hate people coming up and telling me stupid things about what my dogs are gonna do because they are Rottwelers. “They are gonna turn on you!” Really? When? Cuz in another couple years they are gonna be so geriatric they wont have any teeth! “My so and so had one and he turned” Blah blah blah!!! If you have somthing stupid to say about my dogs, stay the F away from me 👿 😡 👿

I also hate people repeating things that are not true like pit bulls have lock jaw or if I spay my rottie her brain is gonna swell and she is gonna kill me or gum stays in your system for 7 years if you swallow it. (though I didnt know the baby bird thing…)

I love the gum thing! LOL I mean, even if you DID swallow something completely undigestable, it will pass through your body and out the other end! Unless it’s so big it gets stuck and by god it will not take you seven years to feel THAT 😆

I dont mind hunting in general. I don’t do it, but don’t have anything against it when the person eats their kill. My pet peeve is trophy hunting. I hate it when someone kills an animal for just the skin or head and leaves the rest. This ticks me off on a level I can’t even communicate. Especially people who hunt big cats or wolves just so they can stuff them. 👿

Leaving them to rot is a waste, but stuffing the whole critter can be justifiable, I think.
