Ever Eaten Something You Have Killed?

Enjoyed a hunting trip in the Tyrol today and shot a rabbit.
Paolo, our guide, showed me how to skin it and, after naming the beast 'Roger', we roasted it and ate it with a risotto.
I am now a proper carnivore.

The only things I shoot are mink & grey squirrels
About 30 years agom two brothers who were mink farmers in the next valley came home pissed one night & let all their mink out
At that time there was no money in mink farming so they cut their losses
For many years the escapees caused all sorts of damage to poultry, fish & wild birds
Fortunately, local landowners, farmers, The Forestry Commission, The National Trust, local angling associations & others made a major effort to reduce their numbers by shooying & trapping, & it worked. They even had "job creation" as it was then, on the job!
We still get the occasional mink attacks on our poultry but nothing to what it used to be like
Anyone who purposefully releases mink into the countryside is causing cruelty on a massive scale
We havealways had a strong population of red squirrels but now sadly, we have started to get incursions of grey squirrels
70% to 80% of grey squirrels have squirrel pox which they are immune to, but is deadly to red squirrels
It is likely that red squirrels will be extinct within the next 5 years unless greys are shot or trapped
I take the squirrels I shoot or trap to a local farmer who eats them & reckons they taste really nice
Not my cup of tea though ~ a bit like eating rats!

You can have all the mink in the world but when legislation goes against the industry you'll find yourself with no market and loads of unwanted product...so you dump it.

Have you seen how much a mink coat goes for?
And you reckon mink farmers conducted deliberate widespread dumping of £ BIG MONEY whilst it was still LEGAL to farm.
I doubt it.

Re: Ever Eaten Something You Have Killed?
"The fur farming industry in the UK was subject to increasing statutory restrictions from 1975 until it was finally banned completely by the Fur Farming (Prohibition) Act 2000. "
So they dumped them..
"Consequently many of the mink released in the attacks of the 1990s were quickly recaught and the remainder probably contributed little to the wild mink population."
So whats the real reason you hate the ALF ? Is it because they are a bit.....Left wing, treehugging, dont like their meat Hippies?

I'm not defending mink farmers here by the way.
But when people will happily pay £1000's for a mink coat it's inevitable that somebody will farm them.
The ALF fuckwits who release them are as misguided as the fools who wear them.

I doubt many mink farmers DELIBERATELY opened their cages and let the fuckers OUT. Unless they could snaffle FREE EU MONEY for doing so.
You don't see many farmers letting their livestock go walkabout do you? For sure hordes of them would have escaped over the years.
That is the major difference with the ALF releases.

But it says that "A widespread modern misconception is that the UK’s wild population of American mink originated from mass releases of mink from fur farms by animal rights activists "
In other words, It made no difference. So why are the ALF cunts if someone else did the damage.
Unless you think they are cunts for other reasons, in which case I'd be happy to hear them.

Re: Ever Eaten Something You Have Killed?
Not entirely true though is it...
I'll leave you with this excerpt from The Game and Wildlife Conservation Trust and there ideas on the Mink population...
"In continental Europe, there is also a European mink (Mustela lutreola), a somewhat different species and now endangered. The European mink has apparently never existed in the British Isles.
A widespread modern misconception is that the UK’s wild population of American mink originated from mass releases of mink from fur farms by animal rights activists in the 1990s. Many people will remember these dramatic events for the sheer numbers of mink involved. In fact, the wild population was established decades earlier from multiple escapes (and perhaps deliberate releases) all over the country.
Mink farms had been established in the UK from the 1920s, and expansion of the industry resumed after WWII. At its peak in the 1950s, there were 400 known fur farms in the UK, and there were suspected to be additional ‘backyard’ units. Mink were first confirmed to be breeding in the wild in 1956. By December 1967, wild mink were present in over half the counties of England and Wales, and in much of lowland Scotland.
Government reaction to the proven establishment of mink in the wild was indecisive, costing valuable time. (The period spanned Conservative governments 1951-64; Labour 1964-1970; Conservative 1970-74.) It was not clear that there was a self-sustaining wild population, though since Norway had already been comprehensively settled by mink, it seemed inevitable. No serious damage to agriculture or fisheries had been shown, and MAFF held no particular responsibility for the environment."
So...People who were NOT animal rights activists but Mink Farmers who saw the law closing in fast, ditched the Mink !!!!

Shouldn't be too much of a problem as long as we train up and reintroduce woodsmen with sharp axes to protect our vulnerable bedridden grannies.

Just because a species is native doesn't mean it's a good IDE to reintroduce them. Wolves were once a native species of these shores - shall we go releasing them all over the gaff too?
