In Washington state they had people out to get petitions signed to get animal traps put on the ballot. (They did, and it passed.) Of course the Liberals were just thinking of the cougars and bears and mink and stuff.
A group was out in front of the hardware store. I said “Oh - this is a great place to be. They need to ban all of the traps in there.”
“OH? I don’t think they sell them here - but this is just a busy place on a Saturday.”
“What do you mean - of course they sell the traps in there! Mouse traps, rat traps - even mole traps!”
“Oh NO! We’re not trying to ban THOSE traps.”
“Well why not? Mice are cute and part of God’s wonderful creation. My son has a pet rat - he’s the cutest thing. Why would anyone want to hurt something so cute?!”
Hmm - I guess I could have asked when the petition to ban mosquito repealant was coming. (I’m sure it probably has - hard to find stuff with a high DEET content anymore).
agreed. All anti hunters should get a month’s wages working in a slaughterhouse! Being a cattleman’s son, I’m pretty aware of where hamburger comes from, it’s from the part you can’t make steaks out of.
