How Big an Animal...

...is it legal to kill?

I mean you'll have no retributions for killing a spider or two but I'm sure someone would come a knocking if you went on a spate of brutally butchering ponies.

So I was wondering, how big can you go?

    Na, I was just wondering
  • Anything rodent sized is fair game imo.

    Like squirrels, squirrels are cnuts!

    This does include those awful handbag dogs (and their owners if they get in the way).

    Obviously, bigger animals are also fair game if they are:
    A. Likely to harm you
    B. Tasty
    C. Sport

    How about next door's jack russel?

    I think it's probably a lot to do with ownership. For example, if you went to a farm, killed a pig and ate it, you'd get in trouble, if you found a wild boar, killed that and ate it, it'd be fine.

    I can't see the point of killing a pony though, self defence or food are the only reasons I'd kill something, I don't even kill flies, moths, spiders etc.

    I'll juts tell the old bat next door that I eat dogs then :)
  • not a good idea,the owner will probably be somewhat anoyed with you.

    You could always offer to take said jack russel for a walk and push it under a bus or lorry then claim to the owner that their stupid dog ran out in front of a lorry
    I assume this is French petrol - be careful in reverse - the car will retreat rapidly at the least provocation.

    Perhaps he's planning on butchering the old dear.

    Get a very large cat. We used to have a mahoosive ginger tom, who tore the throat out of next door's dog. Don't know what kind of dog it was, but it looked like a slightly smaller version of Top Gear's Labradoodle.

    Oh, there are certain types of seagulls you ARE allowed to hunt as well.
    We had a plan once to cheer up a mate who'd split up with a very long term girlfriend. He was a complete mess.
    So, we thougth we should get a rubber dingy, borrow a few shotguns from a farmer, get 48 cans of stella, an head out around the coast of Anglesey to get drunk and shoot "sea chickens" as we called them.
    Unfortunately, the one guy who could have got the guns for us said it was far to dangerous, and refused to help us out.
    Gutted.

    No surprise there - rubber dinghy and 2 paralytic blokes firing shotguns is Darwin Award material...

    Don't get me wrong, I think it would be ace fun getting trolleyed and taking pot shots at winged rats from a boat, it just sounds bound to end in tears or at least a bit of explaining to do to the local coastguard :D . If you fancy a bit of nautical danger with proper big guns, try this :wink:

    I've never shot the bastards, but I have tried the alkaseltzer in bread trick.

    How funny it is towatch a seagull explode in mid air :lol:

    We used to lace a lod of chips with broken up alka seltzer in school. The sea chickens would swoop down, and eat all the chips EXCEPT for the laced ones, DAMMIT!

    Good idea. We were schoolkids though, we could only afford a small pack of Alka seltzer.

    I once saw a seagul that had crash landed badly in the wet sports field at work, leaving a little divot behind it. It's head had been impacted inside it's body and it's back end had opened up, spewing it's guts in quite an artistic trail behind it :lol:

    hehehe

    I heard a tale the other day. Last year on camp my mate was annoyed at seagulls raiding his food every day. So he got this sledgehammer and pretended to hhit this gull over the head. Anyway, he was pretending to hit it but forgot to stop and ended up caving the birds head , body and guts in. He came inside the tent literally rolling on the floor in fits of laughter :)

    Stuff the insurance - I'd take the chance for the opportunity of firing a 'Predator' style mini-gun at Somali pirates 8)

    considering the poverty in north africa its most likely an old rusty ak47 than state of the art US military hardware.

    I guess if it wasn't a spoof website then they'd get the mini guns from The States, same as Arnie did in Predator :wink:
