PETA calls to end Groundhog Day tradition

[Pogo]

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is calling to ax a beloved American tradition – and to replace it with what it calls a "delicious" vegan substitution.

They really need to get a life.

They would shit themselves to death if they ever seen the amount of Ground Hogs that turn into red mist in the midwest.

I've done a bit of that at my buddy's farm. I usually used 5.56.
I did one with a 25-06. It really did turn into red mist.

Ground hogs are a menace on my farm property, digging holes and burrows in my barn and field where other animals can step into and break a leg. I shoot them on site and stuff their asses back down the holes they come out of.

I never met a farmer who would deny someone to shoot groundhogs

[aviator]

Oh geez, those PETA guys again, just wait until they start protecting mosquitoes.

[Sanders]

If they were serious, they'd be calling for Fauci's head on a platter.

Nobody takes PETA seriously, especially when they come up with ridiculous ideas like this. I think they could do far better by partnering with humane societies and go after real animal cruelty, abuse and neglect.

[merc]

PETA can fuck off .
Now go get your fuckin shine box .

Yep. Sage Rats, Jackrabbits and Coyotes here in SE Oregon, and in Idaho it was Badgers and Whistle Pigs

WTF is a “whistle pig”?

What part of SE Oregon you in? I’m in Oregon City

Yellow bellied marmot, ground hog, rock chuck

LOL...In Idaho we have vermin that look like the sage rats out here. The difference it the Whistle Pigs make a sound that sounds very similar to one of those old Timex watches when the alarm goes off....it's a cross between an electronic sound and a whistle noise.

We are way south east out in the middle of nowhere, and it is great.

SE, middle of nowhere, and has groundhogs to shoot …

Presense of life eliminates anything from Basque to McDermitt

Sounds like Jordan Valley area, or south of the Steens some place. Those lithium deposits they just discovered in that area might turn it into a boom town soon. Depending on where you are your property value could skyrocket.

Blowing up groundhogs with a varmint rifle from considerable distances is a blood sport that I have been keen upon for many decades. There was a time when slowly walking through high field grass and ripping them up with a Thompson machine gun...haven't a run for its sheer fun. Ever see a hash climb up into an apple tree and out on tree limbs to eat apples? I have. My very first Thompson kill was a hash doing just that. Ahhhh...the good old days.

I was wondering why those Helicopters were flying around with that big long rocket looking thing dangling below.

Largest lithium deposits known have been discovered near the salt flats. I think they were estimating something like 45 giga-tons. The question will be if our loony Governor and our hippy populace let them mine it.
