Not for animal lovers

Warning this post contains photos of dead animals, and cooked animals. You may think Im being funny but they traumitised someone at work the other day
.
By popular request! On the left baby deer, on the right grouse. On the extreme right sh*t white wine/vinegar.

Around here the perfect accessory for your truck/tractor is wild pig tails. And how do you get them? See the guy below. This shows you the sort of guys I work with. The following photos are from a hunt a couple of the guys went on last Sunday - the results are shown in the last photo (dead animal warning). Im used to fieldies/drillers/whoever asking me to print out photos from their weekend/break - at times some have been more "interesting" than others but these are certainly unique. Carlos would probably like me to point out that the big black one is the one that he shot.

Im not sure if I should be outraged here or defend them - on the good side the people hunting are not the rich but local people ie the traditional hunters, it is restricted to two days a week in season and only to licensed hunters. When a pig is killed the whole animal is used and none of it wasted. But they are still hunting for enjoyment not out of need.

strangely, I can view dead animals with a smug equanimity. Perhaps revulsion is sometimes bound up with guilt? Or perhaps I just don't really like animals and am no good at getting emotional over them? Anyway, I have much more time for locals who hunt for themselves and use all of the animal they kill, "for enjoyment", than with people who eat battery chicken "for enjoyment." It is not as though any of us in developed countries eat meat out of need, right?

Whoops, a self-righteousness attack! I promise to be less obnoxious next comment. Deal?
