    So his wife is vegan, and he probably goes to McDonald's when she is not there.

    If my Mrs said Go Vegan I'd say you go elsewhere, fortunately based on the massive leg of Lamb she just brought things are good.

    Does seem a little hipogritical to condone a pest kill but see yourself absolved because you didn't pull the trigger doesn't it, still each to their own and all the more for the Tinbum kitchen.

    My mindset has always been if you must kill then use as much of the animal as you sfaely can, never just kill it for one thing and waste the rest, only exception being things like Rats out of diesease prevention however if I had an Animal that was safe to eat them I'd use it for pet food.

    Knew a fella who became a vegan, he’d picked bits of his mate off himself after a grenade went off near them at goose green , he reckons meat reminds him of that day , different reasons for different folks.

    Well they're an invasive species so doing damage to his property, so I don't find anything particularly Hypocritical in his trying to remove them

    Better than the sort of pink fluffy idiots we have, that would see them run wild with no controls because they're "furry ikkle aminals"

    The irony in wanting any vermin killed is that the vast majority of vegans are vegan because they are militantly opposed to harming animals in any way whatsoever.
    This ain't rock 'n' roll- this is GENOCIDE!

    I agree completely, but what astonishes me is that seagulls, the rats of the seaside, are protected. They sh*t everywhere, at breeding time they attack everyone. At our allotment they would peck holes in poly tunnels. I'm not a violent man, but, I couldn't eat one

    I was struck in the head by one in Paignton and then about a week or two later there was that report of one eating a Dog, they are brazen nasty little buggers at times.

    Vegans and shooting?

    If you eat more beans, do you have to give more for wind?

    What can a vegan do with Peter Rabbit?


    ...starve.

    Man made environment and lifestyle choices. Still needs management. There is a lot of waste to provide a vegan lifestyle, including plastic alternatives, fertilisers, and insecticides.
    I should think a naked vegan would need a warmer greener world. Certainly not a cold, dry, CO2 deplete, one.

    My brother, his "partner" is a trendy t@rt, into everything fashionable !!!

    So , he's not allowed to eat any meat !!!

    However, when he visits me, like all Saffa's, he hangs around the braai fire, helping himself to generous chunks of boerewors, while his memsahib is inside trying to dictate proceedings there !!!

    Then when food is done, he goes inside and eats his veggie sausages with looong teeth !!!

    My kids, my g/f and I have a great chuckle about this !!!

    My brother, a 6 foot 5 man, is being directed what he is allowed to eat by a 5 foot something specimen .

    I'm guessing he eats decent food when ever he is out at work .

    Different strokes for different folks.

    Like a previous poster, yes, people do choose what to eat, depending on experiences and circumstances, however, fashion is not high in my life .

    Gerry, are you originally from SA ?
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.
