So.. I'm just guessing here but I would say that missyme has never handled a really p!ssed off beaver. It can ruin your day.

[cavtrooper21]

you and skepsel might want to talk, he's had beaver problems too..

(ducking)

[missyme]

Not funny at all when talking of Zorro!!! he is the shiza cat and your dogs will never meet him....they will have to settle for your marsupals

[missyme]

Well they will die by another animal they will starve if there is no vegetation they might get hit by a car or they may graze the grass until they die naturally

[missyme]

Zorro is treated like KING around my house

What is so enjoyable about killing an animal?

Satisfaction of a job well done. Anticipation of a different sort of meal. Cheap meat. Etc.

Deer serve no purpose in the suburban sort of environment that they have expanded into other than to be destructive and dangerous

I am told that Bear attacks and other animal attacks on humans is because there is not enough animals for them to eat? why is that?

I guess whoever told you that is in error. Bears eat humans because they're available and can't run faster than the bear. I suspect bears hunt humans for some of the same reasons that humans hunt bears. I do know that the idiotic self proclaimed "bear expert" and his girlfriend who were eaten by bears last year had the disney view of nature. It got them killed.

MMMM-mmmm Good and good for you!

My son loves to squirrel hunt, plus he can skin one out in nothing flat-(a skill I never really got the hang of).

Plus when cooking your squirrel there are a couple of really great delicacies available.

Why don't you make us Missy. In fact, I will shoot a few worthless Blackbirds when I get home today, all in honor of your insepid, vegan opinion.

[missyme]

You are too cruel, and what looks like FUR is something else. And what is on my head is not animal fur, you know that sucks I was practicing with Picture inserts and I have been practicing most of the early morning (pst) just to put the wrong photo in (The one with Fur and red eyes) and now I am doomed. what a way to get totally flamed

[missyme]

Well Thank you for looking out for me.........
I think you made so many assumptions and anyways I threw that hat away it was given to me as a Christmas present and I was wearing not to happily for the picture since everyone said "Put it on" Christmas Eve...I guess I have friends like all of you that want me to wear fur so they buy it and I feel obligated...well at least at Christmas I did.
