Thread Name: BS: Keep Larysa Switlyk out of Scotland
Subject: RE: BS: Keep Larysa Switlyk out of Scotland
Like deer, the goats need to be controlled, one way or another. On the other hand, despite her apparent remarks about the deer being taken back to the chefs to be eaten (which struck me as BS because all meat needs hanging time; you don't cook it immediately unless you have to)…

You kill for two reasons. 1) Vermin control; 2) Food on the table. Sometimes, e.g. rabbits, the 2 are combined. What you don't do is glory in the death of another creature. I am a confirmed omnivore, nature is red in tooth & claw, etc. But you make as much use as you can out of the carcass (food, stock, leather, fur, whatever) out of respect for the life you took.

And you do not glory in the death of another creature, nor seek to glorify yourself in that death. Double fail, Ms Switlyk. What's "hardcore" about knocking off an unsuspecting goat from 200y with a high-powered 'scoped rifle? I'd like to stalk you, Larysa. Once I've taken a few pots at you & maybe put a bullet through your calf or upper arm... Maybe when you know what it's like to be hunted... Maybe then you can claim to be hardcore...
