Now THATS what I'm talking about! Never even thought of that but it might well work. One of them got a good soaking with the hose yesterday but I bet he'll be back...
Cats and Birds - the RSPB 'truth'.
- Thread starter kes
- Start date
hey "bricktop" was your dad,, how'bout that.
You need at least sixteen pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm. They will go through a body that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes. That means that a single pig can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh every minute. Hence the expression, "as greedy as a pig."
2 pigs soon dispose, doesn't taint the pork.

Continually caught one village cat. Last time I gave him bodily showers every time I needed to, then let him go. He never came back.
politicians pay good money for that allegedly, cant see the attraction myself,
OK then.... now we all agree that cats are the biggest small bird and animal killers in the country and the RSPB are scared of upsetting their donors, so they'll just talk about keeping them indoors and feeding them on vegan mush! How about the RSPB and the other hand wringers face the brutal truth that the biggest killer of wildlife in the UK is the dreaded motorcar? (Never mind the odd thousand humans that are killed by this vehicle every year!), after all there are 24million cars in the UK and if all of them kill one or two birds/rabbits/deer/cats/badgers/otters etc,etc per year..... that's an awful lot of wildlife done to death... It took me years to realise that badgers actually moved independently and weren't placed at the side of the road so we could get the hair for shaving brushes!
So there's a challenge for the RSPB and the idiot Packham - dare you to try and ban cars as they kill way more beasties every year than we ever will..... Anyway, I'm going off to feed my two lovely, but slightly vicious cats (which never get out unless they make a bid for freedom when I can't catch them!).

as soon as all the shooters and guns have been banned, they won't rest long before transport and industry is enemy #1
When my daughter brought a kitten home I told her it would have to go she pleaded to be allowed to keep it as the cats owner was going to put the kittens down ,at that time I kept terriers and one in particular that lived in the house hated
cats with a vengeance I explained that Suzie would kill it but all this fell on deaf ears and at last I relented but repeated my warning that Suzie would kill it.
Oh wise one! How wrong could I have been in fact it became Suzie's cat they shared a bed and if any of the other dogs gave it a second glance they had suzie to contend with.
None of this stopped her from waging war on any other cat that she encountered
Chester (the cat )went on to live until he was seventeen and I became really quite fond of him, I'm still not a cat
person thoigh.

Don't be so quick to hate on the automobile. I would estimate that the auto is the primary control mechanism for free roaming cats, especially within urban/suburban areas. For that reason, you should be pleased.
I would have thought that this is the Ideal opportunity to put Packham and WJ to rest for good, we should start a campaign on behalf of WJ and CP to have all cats culled and banned because of the damage they are doing to our wild birds, we should all send a email into Aunti Beeb, Countrryfile and to our locql MP's to say we want to back CP and WJ and see more about getting rid of these dangerous feline murderers, and also a ban on cars in country parks or wherever wild animals roam to prevent their slaughter...............................................now if this happened it would show just how stupid CP and WJ are, and eventually people would stop listening to them, play them at their own game.
My most memorable cat incident was many years ago when as a lad of 16 I used to go to West Wales every weekend with a couple of guy who were very knowledgeable with terriers, they had a lurcher and five assorted terriers who were mustard on foxes and I used to ride in the back of the Morris 1000 van along with the dogs. The local farmers used to welcome us to manage the overpopulation of foxes and we could account for as many as eight in a day. After visiting a wooded area with the dogs we returned to the van which had been parked at the end of a road in a fairly remote area and there were three pairs of semi detached cottages about 100mt from the van. As we were about to load the dogs into the van three of the terriers ran off in the direction of the cottages, we looked up and saw a large white cat had emerged from one of the cottages and was sitting on the road looking in the opposite direction. Almost immediately the rest of the terriers and the lurcher were off to join the others. We shouted to try and get the cat to look around but it just ignored us and just as the dogs were upon it the cat nonchalantly turned around to face us. The cat took off into one of the cottages with the dogs hot on its tail and us hot on the tail of the dogs. We ran into the front garden of the cottage, no sign of the dogs so up the side path and there were the dogs well stuck into the cat and white fur scattered everywhere over the back garden. Now the garden obviously belonged to an avid vegetable gardener, neat rows of part grown but now demolished veg, you could see it had been immaculate, that is until the dogs got there. We managed to get the dead cat which was not a pretty sight off the dogs and had to throw it on the roof of a shed to keep the dogs off it. With that the house owner appeared behind us and seemed oddly very calm, I had thoughts of the police being called and all sorts of problems. One of our guys said to him “we are very sorry but the dogs just saw the cat and there was little we could do, we even shouted to warn the cat but it just ignored us.” “Oh said the man the cat is deaf, apparently it’s quite common with white cats” he followed with “bugger me those dogs know their business don’t they”. To say we were dumbfounded is an understatement, “but your cat is dead and your garden is wrecked, we will obviously pay for any damage” said one of our guys. “Oh don’t worry about that boyo” said the man with a big grin “you have done me a favour, that cat doesn’t belong to me he belongs to next door and the b@stard has been digging my garden up for years, you just bugger off quick and I will give the neighbour the good news”. Needless to say we didn’t have to be told twice and gathered the dogs and beat a hasty retreat.
