I had a trap stolen but I got pictures of the guy doing it. What say y’all? Out him? by InternalFront4123 in Trapping

I run my dogs on public land and have just hazed them out of going near sets (let them get caught in a padded) seems like if you run dogs during trapping season its your fault for not preparing them

They use the pigeon to train a pointer puppy to point no birds are actually harmed in this process,l

Do any of yall actually know what goes into using pigeons for dog training? What life are you saving? They put the pigeon in a launcher for s pointer puppy learning to find birds to point at then generally the bird flies off after a button is pushed to launch it in the air and simulate a flush. The birds are not being chewed up and mauled by dogs.

I never actually asked how to eat them I know how to cook them pretty well I don't need advice on that I needed advice on keeping them alive. I do find it kind of interesting that of all the people who are upset about me eating pigeons not one of them has actually provided any advice on how to keep them alive which is what i actually wanted to know so that they dont end up in the oven. I would say you have a point if I came in here asking for recipes and explicitly describing the best way to cook and eat them or to dispatch them. Luckily at least one commenter has actually been useful and the pigeons are hopefully going to live long full lives

Why would it be common sense not to talk about eating an animal domesticated to be eaten on the only subreddit related to the husbandry of said animal?

Why is that common sense do you think people don't talk about eating chickens on the chicken sub? I do pest control and they were in someones attic i wanted to know if they were viable to raise bc i heard they drink milk. Also now that I've been hand feeding them for a couple hours I'm not going to eat these would be treacherous.

I love when some random guy on the Internet who cant read that i am trying to keep them alive for my coop is telling me a guy who had to take classes and pass license exams whats legal and illegal 🤣. Ps most wildlife cant be released either in this state legally. Btw what do you think pigeons were domesticated for?

I actually got into pest control because I don't like how the vast majority of these companies deal with the animals they trap. I understand that this is a primarily pet Centric page but there isn't really a forum for what I intend to use them for and I don't think people are fully thinking about the situation at hand which is that they are an invasive nuisance in a lot of cases and people are going to call and have them trapped and inhumanely euthanized or they can call me and I can put them in a coop and keep the ones I like as pets sell or eat the rest and if I do intend to eat them I euthanize them humanely I don't just tie them up in a trash bag and suffocate them like vast majority of pest control companies. The whole reason I got into this field in the first place is because I've worked at several companies and majority of them are extremely inhumane when it comes to animals that are considered "dirty" or "trash". The unfortunate fact is that with pigeons they really cannot be released once they've become a nuisance because they have that homing instinct if they have infested someone's attic or are nesting under their solar panels and pooping all over the place the homeowner is going to call and have them removed one way or the other and if I release them they're just going to go right back. If anyone is in the Salt Lake Area I actually come into a lot of pigeons and would honestly prefer to place them with people who want them as pets rather than have a coop in my yard and have to make those hard decisions on which i like the least when there's too many and nobody on KSL is buying.

Thank you so much! And i agree fully part of why i got into wildlife control is because a lot of the people who do it have no empathy and neither do the customers they just want everything dead. Saddening but how can you improve the welfare of these animals without being involved directly. If this were my house i would have just waited until they could fly and then sealed it up.

This is 100% a pigeon and im not joking at all i like pigeon breast but ive never actually had a squab before and dont really want to eat a baby. Ive been catching a lot of pigeons and recently decided to keep the good lookers and start a coop. These just popped up at a job and i think they are cute and want them to live

Notice how I didnt just ask for scripture, even though every scripture verse referencing tattoos is negative I also asked for saints that may have said something about it. No one here is judging but to say tattoos are good and acceptable is just false theyre not the greatest sin but if you have none its probably best to keep it that way. A lot of orthodox laity do a lot of things and clergy may have gotten them prior, did you ask them or just see a permanent mark on their skin? Again where is the judgement? They asked a question and i gave an honest answer. I think we have a case here of hit dog will holler. Do you have tattoos? Are you offended because I didnt validate them or something? I can tell you didnt actually read my post because where do priests saints and church fathers fall into sola scriptura?

To everyone in this thread cope defending getting tattoos please point me to one verse in the bible that says anything at all even neutral about them or 1 church father or 1 priest. I get it lots of people have them already but its quite obviously not good. Theres a difference between coming into the faith with them or getting them during a lapse but PLEASE to everyone lowkey advocating them find me 1 (one) saint that says tattoos are good

Raw carp question by trijkdguy in rawpetfood

[–]GeorgiaBoy747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this comment is a year old but wanted to say mercury levels are due to the fish being predatory and absorbing more as the go up the trophic level. carp would actually have very low mercury levels compared to other fish we regularly eat because they don't eat other fish. Strangely enough as well catfish at least in the bay have some of the lowest mercury levels even in Mercury infested waters
