Hi

"it is important we can all try and appreciate others views.
Thats why i came to the garden in the first place"

Me too. I just would hope that Gaia would take care of things. I love animals, plant and insect life. The amount we can reduce killing the better, yes including plant life. I don't like imposing my will on other beings and though I cannot live without plants, I can live without animals so I can reduce the using of other beings to some degree. It breaks my heart that they are hurt in any way.

Blessings
Mel

Hi Melanie,
The first time i killed a feral pigeon i felt like i had just smothered a baby.then later that week a friend i was driving nuts said read about them on the net,grey squirrles to,I wont go into details but i have killed many feral pigeons since.Apart from a few pockets in England the only place safe for red squirrels now is in Scotland,and that changes with every grey that reaches adulthood.If i was to stop killing these creatures then the ones gone would have died in vain, i dont think they did .I have to live with my actions and perhaps if i cross to the sommerlands i may find i was wrong,thats not a comforting thought.
Blessings to you,Graeme Henderson.
