Ban Hunting New Angle NB

[Gunfleet]

Would hunting with dogs cease to be cruel if the dogs had their teeth taken out?

Probably no more cruel than taking a dogs teeth out...

If you just fedem McDonalds the things would be to fat to run after anything at all.

Re: Trout Mask Replica

My smile is stuck
I cannot go back to your Frownland
My spirit's made up of the ocean
And the sky 'n' the sun 'n' the moon
'n' all my eyes can see
I cannot go back to your land of gloom
Where black jagged shadows
Remind me of the coming of your doom
I want my own land
Take my hand and come with me
It's not too late for you
It's not too late for me
To find my homeland
Where a man can stand by another man
Without an ego flying
With no man lying
'n' no one dying by an earthly hand
Let the devils burn and the beggar learn
'n' the little girls that live in those old worlds
Take my kind hand
My smile is stuck
I cannot go back to your Frownland
I cannot go back to your Frownland

Why take their teeth out, just muzzle them?

Well, I was just thinking that-probably taken more teeth out than many of you, although it is something I avoid at all costs. Incidentally, it is VERY expensive to have a vet remove a dogs teeth.
But, how about banning the fishing for crabs and lobsters? I haven't seen that point raised yet, but to me it is the most OBVIOUS thing for those who go to sea to ask for. Just imagine being able to sail anywhere without running in to those little flags, or more likely coke bottles. And while I am at it, why not ban fishing nets too. I picked up a large piece of discarded net last summer, which was partly responsible for an engine rebuild last winter.
Now there are some worth while suggestions IMHO

This is a very interesting angle. What we actually need to do, so we're not cruel to the dogs is, rather than have a marathon running tooth extraction process, is to teach them not to bite foxes. This can be done in a number of ways, ring a bell when they try to bite, issue foxes with rolled up newspapers to bash the hounds on the nose or coat the foxes in a tobasco based paint.
