I’ve run into a lot of hunting dog breeders and buyers. Including some guys who ran up on us in a field when their doggy (an expensive hunting spaniel, I forget which kind but they’re on the small side with brown-on-white spots) was trying to make friends with me and my friends who were out for a hike. They had guns, too! The men were angry and said they would shoot the dog if it didn’t stop veering off to check people who were out walking on the lands adjoining where they were trying to hunt.

Another guy I encountered in a feed store was being tested to the limit by his $800 hunting dog he’d just bought because it wouldn’t stop pooping in its crate at night. He said he was going to shoot it if it didn’t shape up in another week or two.

Personally, me and some friends picked up a couple of retriever pups when we where hiking once; I was like “These are expensive dogs! Someone has to be looking for them!” and I went so far as to place an ad in the local paper where we found them - I talked to an old gal who was in charge of advertising and she says, “You’ll never get a call on this ad, because that’s how this one neighbor here trains his hunting dogs: He takes them out when they’re starting to get weaned, and if they don’t come back when he calls them, he leaves them.”

It doesn’t make sense to me, either, by the way. But a lot of breeders over-breed and I think that in more classic times overbreeding was a very common problem. Also, eating dog meat, or selling it, was not that uncommon.

Putting aside the morality of killing an animal for no real reason aside from spite I guess some people have a lot more money then I do.

A pup should not be pooping in the crate unless there is something medically wrong with it OR they are not letting it out often enough. My parents dog is crate trained but ours is "sleep beside youngest" trained.

We have a small farm and yes I do hunt, but animals get put down only because they are food animals and it is their time or they are injured/sick. Well, except for the varmints. And that pesky destroyer of gardens, the groundhog.

Even then it is very quick. Oldest daughter has a very good eye and is a one shot, one kill sort of hunter. Better then me and at least as good as her dad.

Not sure I could eat a dog. I probably have because we lived in some rather interesting areas of the world and you ate what was served to you. But you did not ask.

But my own pups, even if I was starving I think I would have a struggle with it.

“Putting aside the morality of killing an animal for no real reason aside from spite I guess some people have a lot more money then I do.”

Almost everybody has more money than I do. You probably have more money than I do.

“A pup should not be pooping in the crate unless there is something medically wrong with it OR they are not letting it out often enough. My parents dog is crate trained but ours is “sleep beside youngest” trained.”

Maybe he felt stressed out because he knew his time was growing short.

“We have a small farm and yes I do hunt, but animals get put down only because they are food animals and it is their time or they are injured/sick. Well, except for the varmints. And that pesky destroyer of gardens, the groundhog.”

I was fascinated with groundhogs as a child. I don’t think I ever saw one IRL, but plenty of their burrows.

“Even then it is very quick. Oldest daughter has a very good eye and is a one shot, one kill sort of hunter. Better then me and at least as good as her dad.”

A friend who was a hunter had to move once and he couldn’t take his beloved pet cat. His choice was to take her to a shelter; he couldn’t take her where he was going. He often took the cat for rides on his motorcycle and so they did that one day, the cat was all into it, they ran about in the field for a while, and then he shot her and buried her. I really don’t think that - given that his story is true, and I know it was - he did anything wrong, considering what shelter cats have to endure.

“Not sure I could eat a dog. I probably have because we lived in some rather interesting areas of the world and you ate what was served to you. But you did not ask.”

I think I’ve probably eaten dog before. But it’s not polite to ask. I don’t seek it out, that’s for sure. Did you hear they outlawed the butchering of dogs and cats for food in Korea FINALLy?

“But my own pups, even if I was starving I think I would have a struggle with it.”

Let’s face it: Whenever you think about whether you would eat your own pet or not, you should immediately go out and buy a couple of boxes of ammunition and perhaps some survival food. ;)

LOL! And a bag of pup food.

Actually I was thinking of a bit of a book I once read. Their dog died heroically defending the family. Even though food was short, really short, people were starving to death, they decided they just could not eat their beloved dog so they took the body down the road to some other family that was grateful for the meat.

In the old days in Mexico City the bullfight seating went from shade (sombra) to all sun (sol). There were often crazy riots when the muchadumbre, bored with a lackluster performance and sweating it out in the sol section, would urinate in cups and throw them at people seated below. Someone would take umbrage, fists would fly and before you could count to ten some hundred people were dukeing it out. Ah, those were the days!

Now they do it at soccer games.

Yep, I just don’t understand people who get off on watching women fight each other. Call me old-fashioned, I don’t care.

Hard to feel sorry, it’s such a cruel practice

The bulls are bred for a belligerent attitude and then they get killed in a cowardly way. The matador only engages the bull after he’s been weakened by blood loss from the picadors.
