What a bunch of middle england type suburban dwelling deviant tossers
<tries not to burst out laughing.........>
Too late
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Its an internet forum : General idea is to share info and get info on the core subject matter, (in this case MTB), and find ways to liven up an otherwise dull and boring day at the "office". Throwing out a hook and reeling in a big old trout is in fact one of those things that brighten up the day......
....... do you honestly believe that any of these closet creature killers really would do what they are claiming ? I bet you think they are real people too?? Its virtual willy waggling.... nothing more
did you really join just to post that?
spammer, innit - stw gets good google ranking and improves results for their site too...
I was disappointed with that website. No decent cat recipes, and no advice on how to feed a cat to a python.
I like cats...I grew up with 2 cats and a dog.
One of the cats was essentially my cat...followed me to school, always sat on my lap etc.
She killed tons of stuff...birds, mice, rats, even rabbits. She didn't bother to eat them...just usually left them slightly chewed up on the end of my bed for me to finish off.
A dog isn't much of a deterrent to cats if you want to prevent cats in your garden. Cats are a bit cleverer than dogs and will just wait for it to leave before it poos in your rose garden, which it will do if you don't want it to. Don't ask my why, they just will. If the dog confronts it on the ground, most domestic dogs will end up with a scratched nose (or worse) before the cats runs off unscathed.
I can understand the frustration of those keen on wildlife in their gardens...I'm a keen wildlife photographer and when I have a garden I'd like to encourage birds etc. I can't have pets anymore as my wife has allergies but I'll look for ways to discourage neighbours cats in our garden. If I had a cat I think I'd attach a bell.
When our cats got old (my one lived to 23!) my Mum had to discourage neighbours cats from claiming the garden as their territory as they'd fight our old cats (when she was a younger cat she ruled the neighbourhood with an iron claw so used to win most encounters but she was getting old and rusty!). The method she found most effective was a big water pistol.
I don't have much to add about the python story really...but I guess it's survival of the fittest.
I read a story once about a woman who used to let her daughter sleep next to their pet python...after a while when the snake got bigger the mother kept on finding the python perfectly straight lying next to the daughter. It kept on happening, and the mother got worried that there was something wrong with the snake.
She took it to the vet and explained what the problem was and the vet confiscated the snake. Apparently the snake was lying next to the daughter to measure her up for it's next meal.
That story is probably bollocks though.
Actually, about my comment about dog vs cats...
Dogs sometimes get blinded by cats...surely if the snake eating a cat is a bad thing, shouldn't owners of dog blinding cats be reprimanded too.
The ordeal prompted Mr Wadey, 44, to set up a campaign appealing for the Dangerous Wild Animals Act to include constrictor snakes.
So does that also include corn snakes? Watching my corn snake he constricts its food to hold it while he eats it. Not sure that our cat could be eaten by the snake.

That story is bollocks. Everyone knows that person otherwise.
