Hi
I have big patio doors, and once every 2 weeks, there is a hell of crash, a
dazed pideon hits the patio and feather dust drifts down. Yes they are
stupid. I don't play the crumb trick. My windows survive.
Each time I wonder why I don't shot the buggers. The pidgeons round here are
well fed (700-1000g each). 2-3 would make a good pidgeon pie, but my 14 year
old daughter would not forgive my hunter/killer/ fisher instincts.
We also have a well established rabbit warren on our property. The buggers
eat my my much loved tended veggie garden. But watership down etc means that
rabits are heroes not a food stuff, as imported by the Romans. Perhaps I am
a neanderthal throwback to the 1st century. Rabbits are like eating chicken.
Pidgeons are good too. Ask me about stuffing a pidgeon with orange after too
many beers. Hare is like pate on the bone.
So now I have established myself as meat eating, hunter gatherer. And that
is about how disenfranchised I feel among the new NHS. Perhaps like the
Neanderthal, I will die out. Very many would hope so. However in the past
Homo sapiens was down to 2000 members in 60,000 AD and facing extinction
(mitochondrial DNA proves this), but they recovered to take over. Perhaps
after the debacle of the new contract, enough hungry meat eaters with drive,
determination and ambition will survive to lead the remenants of our once
proud profession to the promised land.
I only hope so, and I only hope I am there to see it.
Perhaps selected members of the GPC should be barbarqued for us meat eaters.
God that would be sweet.
