Sick Farmer?

<< < (4/8) > >>

Thrasher:
Is that unusual then? Saw it all the time when I lived in Cockermouth ;-) We used to navigate by "turn left at the fence with 20 moles on" ...

Stormin:
The reason for hanging the dead moles is quite simple and has nothing to do with showmanship. Neither is it sick.  It's done by the mole catcher to show he is doing his job and earning his money.

Tractorboy16:
hi,

iv seen it done loads of time and at our local shoot our gamekeeper does indeed hang up his vermin that he has killed,

it is part of country life, one that is dieing away slowly but it is still present in many parts.

i don't see it as crawl or anything, and if any one was to say the rspca would need to be called than they are the crawl ones as that well known and respected organisation have to be one of the most two faced and contradictive organisations i know.

I thank you 8)

strapping young lad:
isnt this in the similar vein of how "townies" feel about 4x4's

we know what we use them for but the have their opinion

this is the same with the moles

they arent there for show, there is reasoning that the farmer and im sure his fellow farmers in the area know about.

just remember where you are that's all.

think about it, a farmer will go into town and go past a defender or similar 4x4 and wonder since these arent used for agri use why own them.

my folks asked me this exact same question since they are farmers and i am no longer.
