Lies. I cannot speak what I think at this time.

Lies. I cannot speak what I think at this time.

The entire agenda of the environmentalist Left is only advanced through lies. Every last one of them -- from Al Gore to the Sierra Club to PETA -- is a fraud. Yet they have massive influence in the mainstream media as well as our institutions of "higher learning."

And one of their chief weapons of control is the Endangered Species Act. It MUST be repealed if we're to survive as a country that respects private property rights.

You have not an argument from me...

I got your back botherman.

Thanks!

Obama keeps on his present course, in a year or so we're going to be reading about the *mysterious* disappearance of pigeons.

I look at the abundant pigeons in my little town and make the observation that obviously, people are not very hungry around here!

Very nice drawings.

Rabbit is short a couple of proteins we need, so you could “starve” eating rabbit.

Sorry, I find that difficult to believe. Nearly all I read indicates that "meat is meat" and contains all the necessary proteins.

People have lived on meat only for years without a problem.

But the magicians no longer use top hats so the rabbits have no place to live. It's all starting to make sense.

The rabbits are grabbing the top hats and fleeing down rabbit holes as fast as they can. Still, they are always late. They are also snagging the magician's pocket watches at an alarming rate.

Cuz they're late, they're late for a very important date.

Illegal immigrants got to eat, don’t they?

And there's nothing wrong with rabbit.

When a kid I would put out chops (crushed corn) in about a 5 foot circle in the barn yard. When there were a dozen or so pigeons in the circle, sitting up in the loft, I would let fly with some #8 shot from a two row twelve.

My mom would then make pigeon and dumplings, soups etc. Poor people have poor ways.

When I first bought my house out here in the woods - they would often come out of the forest and into my yard.

I haven't seen ANY for over a dozen years. But I have caught site of a resident bobcat and often hear the coyotes running at night...

I miss the bunnies...

BTW, we have never seen so many rabbits in MA, ever!

Every back yard has their own cottontail, and they all come out at 4 p.m. to ‘see whazzupp’ and drive the dogs crazy...

A buddy of mine who owns a Prius is trying to set up a wild hog hunt. I've told him that if we get anything, we have to take a picture of the carcass strapped to the top of his Prius. Taking a wild hog would be fun, but making a liberal’s head explode with a picture of a hunted animal on top of a Prius would be exhilarating.

A 2 pound adult rabbit would be an ideal size for feeding pet pythons in the 12 to 30 pound range. If they set up a breeding program for these rabbits, I wouldn't be surprised if people in the reptile hobby wouldn't be happy to contribute to the effort in order to pick up some extra feeders. A pair of these rabbits would produce many more offspring than most keepers could feed to their snakes, and many keepers would be happy to give extras to a re-introduction program.

Look in the stew pot.

Coyotes

And hawks. Both the coyotes and hawks hunt in Boston.
