Go and play!!!



The magpie population has increased through prolific breeding of the magpie. Nothing to do with humans.
I feed the foxes and never shoot them.
I repeat "I never kill for fun or for blood."
However if the foxes became such a pest then I would have no problem killing them.



Understandee englishee.
You never kill for fun?Thats not what you said earlier,when you did say,"it's just as much fun,even if they get away"! Even if an animal becomes a pest (that's our definition,by the way) there are more ,dare I say,"civilised ways of dealing with it,than a gang of knobheads riding round on horses,shouting "Tally Ho,or urban "whitehunters" with thier dogs,nipping down to Crocky park,for a nights "conservation" work! As for Magpies,they do have natural predators,which are usually crows,and the R.S.P.B. state that though numbers did increase in the 60's, 70's, 80's, this has now largely stabilised! They do, consider that these populations have moved,caused by the changes in thier suitable territory i.e.types of farmland,which have also changed dramatically,over a similar period! So there you go,man did cause the problem, though I'm sure this wasn't a consideration,many farm owners gave much time to!
Also,as for speaking from an anal orifice,I bow to your superior experience, Que?
