Bbbbut they mate for life!
And they are very maternal with thier babies!

Kangaroos have feelings too!

I know, I trolled you.

And I reciprocated. ;-)

IMHO Kangaroos are the "deer" of Australia.
Venison is pretty good too.

Deer tho' really are graceful and beautiful animals.
I've never personally killed one except to put down
a couple with broken backs from being hit by cars...

I have enough freinds that are deer hunters around here
that I get some free venison every year.

There are too many around here and the herds need to be
kept in control for their own health. They are also traffic
hazards, and destroy a lot of gardens.

OH yeah!

I just bought a lamb. The cute little 4H kids raise them and then sell
them at auction. I buy one, engage a butcher, and pick it up all
wrapped in white freezer paper. Sometimes we know the name of the lamb,
sometimes we don't. Last year's was named Star. Star was delicious
with mint jelly.

Heh.

I generally buy calves or lambs site unseen and just pick them up at the
butcher when ready. I never see them live.

OTOH, I have raised emus, ducks, pigeons, and chickens for home
processing but I _never_ give them names!

It is lamb season, and I'm trying to get one for the freezer right now
but I've not gotten a return e-mail yet.

I sincerely hope that the butcher in question who slaughtered Star is a
proper rabbi as otherwise you will be in trouble with the big guy.

I admit to know little about roos, except they call them roos, and
they have pouches.

When I thought I was going to be a hunter, I had one walk within 30
feet of me, and stare at me as I pointed my shotgun at it. Too
beautiful to kill.

I used to have a friend who'd give me venison too. It is good meat. I
guess it's like a cow, I'll eat a steak, but not if I had to look it
in the eye to shoot it.

Hunter propoganda. Nature is self-policing. Starving herds of animals
is a natural counterbalance, splattering their brains all over the
landscape is not.
Let cougars and other natural predators return, and they'd do the job
just fine without us.

I was looking for that cartoon, butt couldn't find it. It was my
inspiration behind that comment.

Lambs can email ewe? Damn, they are smarter than I thought...

OmManiPadmeOmelet said:

Sorry, but history has proven that to be wrong....
There are reasons why there are government sponsored professional hunts
held from time to time.

There are no natural predators in highly populated areas.

There are also no prey in heavily populated areas. How can you deny
that? Nature did fine for millions of years without us.

OmManiPadmeOmelet said:

If you want it, you'd better download it. Tinypic will remove it from
their site as soon as they catch it.

Jpegs like that are not allowed. ;-)

I had it, deleted it, had it, deleted it, etc etc etc. No offense but
wee scots have seen every cartoon, heard every joke, about scots you
could ever find. Mostly due to them being posted on RMMBill.

Yes, there are.
That was my point.
It's also not legal to shoot deer in the city limits.
There is a small herd on my street and I have to be careful
coming home at night around here. They graze on the lawn
across from my house.

Pretty things. :-)
Many people around here also put out deer feeders.

That increases the population and ticks off those with gardens.

And she will do fine for millions of years after we are gone...
and at the rate we are going, that might not be much longer.

It was a great weekend.

Texas beat OU (I'm an Aggie but my dad went to tu and I knew the words
to "The Eyes of Texas" before anything A&M).
Cowboys beat Philly (I work in Dallas w/family in Houston- long
commute).
Astros beat Braves in 18.
And I made Dallas Tollway in Addison to NW Houston (255miles) in 3hrs
32minutes leaving Dallas at 3pm on a Friday down IH45. In a 15 yr old
Protege w/242,000 miles and got 34 mpg (original engine and 5spd std
tranny & clutch).

It was a great weekend!

Name 'em? Cougars etc don't go near people unless forced too. Deer are
smart enough to know that, and exploit it.

I had gardens when I lived in suitable areas, but I planted extra for
the wildlife.

Yep, China is going to nuke us into dust. And frankly I don't blame
them.

Coyotes do, and I trap racoons, possums and ringtails that come to kill
my poultry. Racoons will only take baby deer. There was a cougar a
couple of miles away from me about 5 years ago. Animal control trapped
and shot it. It was presenting a danger to small children.

That, I think, was my point! With no predators and plenty of food, they
are going to breed like rats.

I put up a fence and let the dog run loose in that perimeter fence.
I don't have deer problems.

The landscaping in the driveway is not attractive to deer. Day lillies,
cannas and a few seasonal bulbs. They also leave my herb garden alone. I
don't bother with roses. Deer love roses.

Coyotes are rare around here, but I guess I meant predators that would
take down a deer. I unintentionally feed the raccoons around here, and
there's little prey for them. They actually come around more for the
fresh water than the food. It's pretty funny to watch them get all
fours in a dish of water, and start washing up.

Rats are under control, and so would deer if left alone.

That's the last thing we'll see before dieing. But hey, there's worse
ways to die than being instantly turned to dust. I mean we'll see a
flash, and think "oh wow, someone's taking my picture?" and before we
can turn to look <ZAP> were returned to mother earth.

I have emailed my coordinates to Chiina, and asked to be at ground
zero. I figure if I survived, I'd have to fight you gun freeks for
food, and I really don't want to hurt you guys.
