I've just signed a petition against the Newcastle city council's plans to genocide the bunnies living on a patch of grass in the city centre. Rabbit rights!

I'll think of you as I liquidate the rabbits in my yard.

Eat shit and die, Mr. McGregor.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Scorch Earth is the only way, Cal. Burn it! Burn it all!
I haven't heard the coyotes lately, but I'm hoping they come back to deal with this.  We also have vultures, but I don't think they'll eat a live bunny.

In conclusion: goddamn useless cats.  :mad:

Maybe you should introduce a wolf or 2. Contact BB.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

The rabbits tend to lurk on the other side of my dog's wireless fence.  He's learned the hard way not to chase them.  :pinch:

I could probably score Cal a deal on a nice lynx or two...

I would bet Canadian law would cause you to end up prosecuting yourself.  :P

:shifty:

But I don't think so.  Lynx are in no way protected or endangered in Canada (exception in Nova Scotia), and can be legally trapped (and I know some trappers), so I can't see why you couldn't legally capture one live instead.

Now I could see Cal getting into trouble for releasing a wild lynx into a suburban neighborhood, but that wouldn't be my problem...  :ph34r:

There'd be no problem.  The legions of hunters around here would bag it within a few hours. :)

I wasn't aware Kentucky had an open season on lynx.  :huh:

I wasn't aware Kentuckians cared whether it was open season or not.

The very act of being in Kentucky makes you stupid. :P

I figured you realized I was joking, but this prompted me to go check, and apparently we do not have a lynx season at all... which makes sense given that lynx do not live in Kentucky.  We do however have a bobcat season, which lasts from December 1st to January 31st.  I wonder if the fact that we don't have a lynx season means:

a) it is illegal to hunt lynx in Kentucky
b) it is legal to hunt lynx without restriction in Kentucky
c) lynx would be classed as bobcat for hunting purposes, since they are so closely related

Lagomorphs need to be controlled, as their predators have been.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Of course, we're both just joking around.  Although a breeding pair of lynx would do wonders to keep the rabbit population down, since that is their main source of food.

I say you import a pair and we'll find out what happens.   :ph34r:
