And to add to my comment, coyotes are one of my favorite animals ever...yet, when there was one going around my old neighborhood killing pet cats, I was not sorry when it was killed.

Thank you.


The farmer has nothing personal against Coyotes, just only when they go after his sheep. He knows there r dozens in the forest, but those ones don't bother his sheep at all, so he leaves them alone.

We wern't baiting the coyote, and we wern't stalking him. We were just waiting for him to come onto the property & go after the sheep, then we were gonna shoot it. Bring it back to the house & Gord was gonna take what he could from the coyote & give it to the dogs.

Nothing goes to waste on that farm. Not even when a dog passes, its used. Same with the cats, wild mice & birds, its all used. Except the pets, like their hamster, pigion, house cats & their terrier. The other animals are tools & live wild. As long as they do their jobs, they r fed & free to do as they please on the land.


Thats they way things should be (using everything).

I think what the people were 'objecting' to was the graphic, and really, pointless, nature of the original post.

It reminded me of the media's quest to put anything bloody on the front page (or tv) because that sort of image sells papers(or increases ratings).

Pointless.

How was my post pointless?? I was sharing my day on a farm visit. I got to see life, death, beauty, friendship for strangers & so much more.

Be selfish & keep it to yourself o.k.?


I lived on a farm for three years as a child and nobody treated
their animals the way you discribed.

How odd. When **I** read it, I "saw" none of that which you mentioned, and was really disgusted by the images you portrayed.

This is a pet site, and as such, you might have given more consideration to the graphic nature of your posts. There should have been more consideration given to your audience. In reality, would you really have expected many people to find hunting 'okay'? Whether it was justified or not?

Yeah, I know, I know..you posted it in the dog house. But, in reflection, maybe you can see how it was possible to offend some of us?

I think it was a post in poor taste. Others appear to feel that way, too. While you can defend your post by saying, "well, others do it too (the pit bull reference you made)", I don't see how that changes what YOU posted.

And, really, I could see alot less of death these days. I don't miss seeing it, really, and consider my life quite complete without it. It isn't as if i don't know that it exists..but, to somehow say that it makes my day? Hmmm....I don't know that I can understand where you are coming from.

THANK YOU CAGNEYDOG!!!!!

I posted who I was a long time ago, not my fault u few people didn't get it

& oh no not spelling errors, it must be the end of the world! <- see that is someting to yell at me about.

Yes thats right I posted a thread just to piss u few people off. Wow I'm just that evil It had nothing to do what I exp. on a natural farm & did during the day, no not at all.

So once again. there r no vets on natural farms. U cannot give meds to something u r gonna eat, same thing for shooting it. There is a reason its called a natural farm.

The sheep was checked on throughout the day. She was fine 3 hours before we found her dead. Natural birth, natural death.


It was put in the dog house for the detail, & thats where it belongs. U know ur taking a risk of reading something u may not like when u read a thread in the dog house. If u do not like what someone typed, then don't read it.. I wasn't making u.. I made the title include hunting just as a tip that it might not be something everyone will want to read.


The farm u might have gone/lived on prob. wasn't a natural farm. There is a huge difference on how they work.. one pumps the animals u'll eat full of meds, that'll go into ur body. While the other lets nature take its course, so u wont eat all those nasty meds as u eat the animal.

There is a reason why I choose Natural foods over comercial garbage. It tastes much better & it doesn't slowly poison ur body.

I think it's possible to express distaste for the post or its contents without making such personal attacks.

**Edit: Thanks for removing some of the harsher comments. Although I realize that it was upsetting to many, some of what was said towards the end seemed unnecessarily personal and hurtful.

^ Ditto.

Good to see everyone acting like mature adults. It is a farm, they are filled with life and death.

Maybe there should have been a graphic warning on the OP, but I don't seem to be the only one who thinks a lot of us are blowing it out of proportion.
