That's what I thought too.
This is from The Onion, right? Scrappleface? BSNN?
The best way to try and scare them is to yell.....PULL.....followed by a quick shot.
I never realized that so many Monte Python skits were based on reality.
Has spongiform encephalopy really been controlled in England? Are we sure there isn't a subtle brain wasting disease running rampant there?
I suspect Rove is behind this. Rove or maybe Rover, the PETA lobbyist....
Nah, it's no-holds-barred class warfare.
The city proles are bent on making life unpleasant for the country toffs .
bloody skeet !!
It's obviously not particularly subtle.
That is one law I would flat out ignore.
LOL! "Hellooooo, there, Mr. Fox, old chap, I'm going to fire at you now!"
What, precisely, constitutes "frightening techniques"? I'd say having a shotgun discharged at me would be rather frightening ...
No self-respecting hunter shoots a sitting bird anyway.
Crows and such don't count.
Well this is a stupid law. How they going to shoot anything when they aren't even allowed to have a gun over there? >sarcasm off
I believe that the government must provide all poentially targeted birds with sufficient hours of classroom training to enable them to distinguish between a harmful shout that would cause them to fly and be shot and a harmless sound such as a sneeze.
Scary that we see it being a possibility. Guess we'll wait and see.
You mean this wasn't??
And when it's so much more merciful to ***BANG!!*** drop him, never suspecting.
I hope someone is able to dump this little turd of liberalism right slap in the middle of the 'GUNGEON"
I keep trying, but the "REDNECK ALERT" catches Me every time.
If this is not evidence of mad cow disease, I sure don't have another clue!
Next, they will need to shout out before they wipe their hiney, to give the bacteria a fighting chance, Ohmygoodness, where are My happy pills? The damned muslims seem to be correct, about some people. I am now speechless, lest I get blacklisted, this post was self censored, try to imagine what I really wanted to say!
The United States and Mexico have a joint migratory bird treaty that requires our states to set a closed season on crows. Apparently this is because there are some species of crows in Mexico that are considered threatened. However, the state laws generally provide that crows may be shot out of "season" if they are seen to be depredating, or about to depredate, farm crops, fruit or nut trees, etc.
Personally, I have never seen a crow that was not depredating, about to depredate, or thinking about depredating something.
