Let's face it they have an high unemplyoment rate also...and no money...and when people do run across them they look at ther fur fo rmaking hats instead of thier purpose upon earth. I doubt we'd have any birds around this town if it weren't for McDonalds leaving their trash bins open so they can eat left over french fries once in an while. |

Wonder how much it saves McDonalds in disposal costs? |

I am disgusted that they spend so much of the donations from the public on legal fees in prosecuting Hunts. |

We had an resident "pack rat" living in the rvy of the electrical company next to Boston Market when I worked there. Usually they only came out in the early hours. I don't think anyone else knew they were there for the most part but an few of us. What did they do about it...had an sign posted on top of the disposal bin...keep lid closed after useage. |

It really is the fault of silly 'animal lovers' who just can't keep their nose out of nature. The animals and birds would find their own food if we didn't keep putting it out for them. |
| Dave John Posts: 22335 Joined: 27th Feb 2011 Location: England | quotePosted at 21:16 on 17th February 2013 You are quite right Ron, but the vast majority of us are guilty. They would find their own food or nature would take its course with natural selection ! ! ! ! Survival of the fittest. Some may that is a bit harsh but nature is very far from sweet and cuddly.......... |
