] Date Posted: 26/06/07 9:04 In reply to: squinney man 's message, "advice about conscience" on 24/06/07 11:12 I used to be married to a game keepers daughter so am only too aware of the damage these can do. Pigeons (especially the after mess if you catch my drift) are destructive. I had no quarms about shooting them, remember, they can be eaten or if like i used to, Fed to Birds of prey or given to the rescue centres Grey squirrels are rats. pure and simple. They are not native to the UK and are larger, more aggressive and more destructive than our native reds. In the past, I have taken part in the deer culls on Cannock chase, Barbaric sounding I know but it preserves the existing stocks and the environment around them Natural selection within the UK has dissappeared so I don't have any issues with what you said. In my humble opinion, there is no crime in killing an animal if it is to be used but I have no time for recreational shooters. It does sound like a good idea if you wish to perform a ritual to ease your concience. Hope this in some way helps Blessings Paganwolf )0( [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |

Date Posted: 26/06/07 9:24 In my view as a pagan, I do not see it my right to make the decision to cull. I cannot resolve the act of taking away a life no matter how I look at it. I also do not see myself as 'higher' than an animal and apply the same principles to animal life as I do human life. Intuitively you know what feels right however, that is if you meditate and feel the vibrational affects of your actions within yourself and your environment. I find that more useful personally that trying to reason something out as you can always find reasons for things. For Jade's example. If a farmer was not keeping cows for dairy and food in the first place, the cows would not be in the position for their legs to break. Again, hard to know where it all begins and ends.
