Thanks for talking sense Number 6.

I'm otherwise quite dismayed by the level of discourse in this thread. Your last post, JTS is utterly incomprehensible to me. Your infant/animal dispute, whatever that is about, is with michaelr, not me.

I told you I didn't express any views, other than that I agree that head bashing is the more humane way to go. I also agree that culling them very young is not only as good as, but in fact better, than killing them at a few weeks or months. Yet you can't even be bothered to learn that in fact I approve of the hunt. (I would rather have been discussing lumber, which is a subject near and dear to my heart.) What I do not like is anyone trying to justify something with falsehoods. Bad PR.

I don't blame you for being irate, Jack. You got caught not only misinforming your wife about the bludgeoning of pups, but allowing her (who is such a careful fact-checker around here) to unwittingly repeat your falsehood. You must be in a heap of shit. Man, I don't envy you. I'll bet an ice floe off Greenland is looking pretty good from where you're sitting, eh?

It USED to be about the whitecoats, but now it's about the food. But it's still the same tradition. But we're spitting mad about the whitecoats. That's as hard to digest as boiled seal meat. You should pick a story and stick with it.
