Disgusting Dog Abuse!!!

Presumably you took the roadkill home for dinner as it would have fitted into the boot of a 7 series easily.

My thoughts precisely. I remember a couple of years ago, a friend damaged his Peugeot 405 when he knocked over and killed a deer. When he told us, all that Mrs BB could think of where is the deer now? When he told her that he had just left it behind, she really went for him saying what a waste.

On the same subject, I am forever being directed to aim my car at pheasants, and other small game birds (don't know the name). Thankfully, I've never managed to hit one yet.

I used to live in a farmhouse on the outskirts of Caversham near Reading. There were loads of these little bambi looking Monkjack deer there. My mate hit one in his Volvo.....man did it mess the front of his car up.

When the police turned up (by coincidence just as we were dragging the deer into the verge) they told us that the car that hits a deer, by some obscure UK law, cant take it away, but the next one along can.....dont know if it was a windup but it could well be true. We do have some mad old laws still in effect in the UK.

As to hitting a pheasant....good luck bro. There were loads in the fields and I used to try hitting em with a crossbow to little effect....them buggers can move fast!

Rabbits are easy....get a stick, tie a rag to it, and stick the stick in the middle of a field. Go sit in the hedge and be quiet. after a while the rabbits all come out and sit about watching the stick and rag....ping.....one rabbit stew (my granddad taught me that one and it really does work).

It has been explained to me that the rule is that you never swerve to avoid the dog, you simply sound your horn and keep driving. If the dog doesn't get out of the way then it gets hit - end of.

Has anyone told this to the dogs? I'm not sure they get taught the green cross code.

Visiting the in-laws in Ubon Ratchathani we decided on a family day trip to the aquarium in Roi Et. Driving through the Issan country side we came across a herd of unattended cows crossing the road. I slowed down to a near stop to let them cross. After they had passed and just as I started to accelerate away the last cow decided to do a u turn and headed back across the road the way she had just come. I hit the breaks but could not help but hit her broad side full on. She fell on over and skidded along the road on her arse for a good 10 metres before coming to a stop. She got up and ran off into the field giving me the most wicked look of indignation over her shoulder on the way. There was quite a bit of superficial damage to the front end bodywork. A passing police car happened to see the whole incident and stopped. They advised that the farmer was liable for any damage. I didn’t claim against the farmer but did claim the cost of repair against the insurance without any increase in the premium.

I suppose if the cow had been killed I would have been in my rights to claim the carcass as compensation?

The boot was full of my golf clubs and other golf stuff, so couldn't. The vet and I lifted it into the back of his van - it was a hell of a struggle as this deer was huge.

True about the deer law

Me and my old man used to career around the lanes of Yorkshire looking for hares

Excellent jugged!!!!

My grandad taught me the way to catch pheasant was to get some barley and soak in in a glass of brandy and water during the day. Then at night go down where they live and leave little piles of it about. Go to pub for an hour or so and then come back and collect the pheasants who have eaten the barley and are too pissed to fly......

...I think that one was a windup.....mind you he used to eat a lot of pheasant....

A spot of Dogs revenge in this article

Mild revenge that is, bit lighter than above

It's a dogs life!

Anyway, reading the above link, does anyone know how the pigeon fared, or whether it became "fare"?

And how did it manage to fly up the chimney? Like it was in the front room or something, just waiting for its opportunity??

Such are life's little mysteries.

I believe that.

I like the Thai Mynah birds that are so prolic around. One Thai told me that they are very easily domesticated. Mix some Mekong in with some rice and let the little buggers get tipsy. Then they can be handled and become accustomed to people .. and they apparently make excellent pets.

Did you hear about the dyslexic, agnostic, insomniac?

He was up all night wondering whether there was a Dog.
