Thread Name: Enlighten me - stuck pig?
Subject: RE: Enlighten me - stuck pig?
Dangerous animals wild pigs, watch out in the woods mates. I believe very strongly in some philosophy handed to me by an old farmer I used to work for as a boy in Lancashire. I have always remembered it; and although I have hunted game for eating, I treat wildlife with the same respect as the First Nations do. I asked the Farmer (Mr.Dearden) why he treated his animals so gently? (rough man, but could not hide the great spirit working inside) He said "because one day they will die for us, so I treat them as decently as possible" I never forgot his words. Anyone who kills for pleasure, is not a decent person at all. Yours,Aye. Dave
