Subject: RE: BS: The (in)glorious 12th
where you thinking about the rat shooters when you talked about the hunters and shooters.
I've got to admit - I'd never heard of these people with night vision goggles costing a couple of grand, and airguns the size of rocket launchers. i'm not sure how i feel about someone who would shoot rats for fun. a bit sad for them i suppose - although they seem happy enough.
i suppose theres no real danger of rats becoming extinct - worse luck! In my days as a an old peoples entertainer I remember talking to an old lady, whose husband had been a sewage worker an was killed by a rat bite.
i wonder if these shooters know how dangerous a bite from these animals can be.
