My mother taught me how to kill chickens over 50 years ago when I was eight and it never did me any harm. I would even say that it made me a more realistic person. Cost of the ammunition is trivial, but it takes at least 15 minutes to bury the carcass, and I'd rather use this time for other things. Huh, I guess I'll have to think about that one some. I invited the husband out into the street to discuss the situation more fully with me, but for some reason he refused to come out of his own yard.
Some people have no sense of humor.
It is only a matter of time before some do gooder tries to get some law passed to control you and your birds . I cull pigeons that are physically inferior .
