11 Year Old Boy Kills 1000lb Boar


Wow!! I went to Jamison's website and checked out all the pictures and emails after seeing his story on CNN Headline News. Check out the CNN story about it here. I borrowed the picture above from their story. When I was at Jamison's website dedicated to his big pig there were links to both negative and positive comments. At the time I was on the site there were 85% positive comments. As I looked at the negative comments I thought it's crazy how negative people are. Funny how they go on and on about dumb rednecks in much the same tone as they view dumb rednecks in. I think if they realized that no matter where you live and whether you eat meat or go hunting or if you get your food at the grocery store you still have the ability to be an ignorant dumb ass. Interesting how people think that the best way to get their point of view across to others is through angry comments which lack facts as opposed to intelligent conversation with facts that people can learn from and then make their own decisions. I think all the people in the sites negatives section would only serve to make someone turn out more angry and ignorant.
I have the benefit in looking at the kill from the point of view of two angles as I am a country girl who moved to the city after serving my country in the military.
I am from Oklahoma so I am definitely born and raised a country girl who grew up hunting for my own food in a family who had to go find our Thanksgiving turkey somewhere other than the supermarket. I see the benefit of hunting and know that it is generally done in particular season. I think what the negative commenters don't realize is that hunting is a highly regulated industry. Those in charge of each states Hunting and Game regulations closely monitor numbers of fish and game to make sure that there are not too little or too many in order that a healthy balance of all that the animals need to survive will be present in their lives. We humans are a part of that balance and now that I am living in the city I think it interesting and hypocritical that someone in the city could be mad at anyone killing animals when they are taking away the environment the animals thrive in at alarming rates as they build their McMansions all across America. I can say that growing up in the country where we had to work for our food on a farm or hunting it has made me realize just how lazy the majority of city people are while all along thinking they are working their asses off just because they sit at a desk or in traffic for 60 hours a week. I wish they would try a little taste of how I grew up. People worked the same amount of hours but had to get up before school at 0dark30 in the morning to do it and then into the night after school and still get our homework done keeping our state in the top 10-14 in the nation in education. In the city people hunt each other either in traffic or on the streets and then get in fights with each other at little league games after work. Granted there is murder and mayhem in the country too, but not in the same percentages and even if the statistics show murder in the same percentages in the country vs. city at least in the country you can go into any neighborhood you want without worrying about whether or not it will happen on the street as you walk/drive down it. People in the country know to keep their killing, murder, molestation and raping inside their homes instead of leaving and doing it on the public streets at the very least. It's just commen decency folks, we have to be considerate of our neighbors and not bother them with our problems. Think about it.
The only hunting that I am opposed to falls into about 3 categories: 1- Canned hunts for little pansy weasels who don't have the balls to hunt like real men out in the wild as opposed to on some fenced in range with tame animals; 2- Out of season hunting and/or poaching; 3- Hunts where anyone human or their hunting animals are injured because their dumb ass parents didn't teach them gun/hunting safety and instead they turn out to be the privileged dumb ass Cheney's of the world.
The other side of me lives in the city so I look forward to being able to go to the store and take a bite of whatever piece of Jamison's pig I can snarf upon if and when it is available. I am happy to know that when I travel back home to visit my family for family reunions and holidays that I can sit down at the table and eat a yummy venison burger or have an egg straight out of the chickens butt without having to do all the work the rest of my family has to do to get that food. I live in the city of Atlanta where all I have to worry about is traffic on my way to work and how loud the neighbor who shares my wall at my apartment building is playing his music. (Speaking of ignorant dumb asses) I love that when I go home to visit I can play the vacation card instead of getting up when it is still dark to go out and feed goats or hunt for the Christmas turkey. I just pretend that city life has really worn me down and I'm happy to be at mom or dad's house chillin out and eating whatever free range animal that crosses our path. That tactic usually works at least until the sun comes up.
I send out prayers for Jamison - for him to have good luck in all his future hunts, that he doesn't ever get injured or accidentally injure someone else or his hunting dogs, that he never becomes a pansy weasel at a canned hunt where he corners a not so wild ram in it's own feeding pen and kill it while it shakes in fear and pain, that he is a hunter who is a real man and actually hunts his prey like any other good predator would, that he never gets bored with hunting now that he's had the ultimate kill and everything else will be small potatoes, and that he never forgets that everyone in our country deserves equal rights even the dumb ass idiots who sent him their negative comments after all that is why I fought in the military was so those idiots would have a voice without taking away someone else's.
And finally one last prayer for myself as it relates to Jamison the pig killer. - I pray that he sends me a giant box of deer jerky next time he bags a big buck. I'm starving in the big city of Atlanta over here.

Pet Spa My Ass!

Watch this video. It is a "pet spa" allegedly. I don't know about you but when I go to the spa no one traps me in a washing machine without my knowledge and tries to drown me. I am exaggerating of course but this is not the machine to put your cat in. Please visit the website and protest this thing. What ever pet supplies store has this in it is in need of a little protest as well.

The video shows a cat being placed in the "spa" and then washed while it jumps and begs to be free from the whole event. The cat survives uninjured but I believe the machine is cruel. If you are too lazy to wash your animal then pay for a professional to do it please either that or deal with your animal the way he/she is stinky and all.

By the way cats don't need baths they wash themselves. Dogs are a different story all together-with them you have to pay attention to the breed or you'll cause all sorts of skin problems. For example Airdale Terriers should not be washed as often as some other dogs and so on.

Court Case In Atlanta For Horrific Puppy Torture Case

There is a case in the court system currently where two teenage boys have been accused of torturing a small puppy by (among other things) cooking it live in a gas oven. Following are some snips from the article about the case. "Jurors recoiled in horror and wiped their eyes Thursday as prosecutors produced a series of grisly photos of a tiny puppy tortured and then killed in a gas oven...The blood stained oven showed showed scratch marks on the door and walls, indicating that the young dog - it's mouth and feet duct taped - struggled before it died...Beige paint also covered the puppy and the inside of the oven, a final act of cruelty before the animal was tossed into the stove..." The puppy was only 3 months old. (as if age makes a difference in the effect of paint, tape, cooking while live). This is a horrific case and I'm sooooo glad I didn't get called to be on the jury for this one. If I had I'm sure that they would have releived me of my duties pretty quickly because #1 I am a petsitter; #2 I think who ever is guilty should receive the same punishment as they dished out and #3 I would have jumped from the jury box and choked the shit out of the little punk bastards who were found guilty. All good reasons for the defense to decide against me as a juror.

Rocky and Buddy Checking in

All is great on the fuzzy home front. Rocky is sleeping on one side of my white chair and Buddy on the other. Samson is in a little cubby on the couch that I created when I moved the cushions around. Delila is on the top of the pile of cushions I made and all are sleeping just fine. Buddy is getting feistier with the cats. It's almost as if he's taking up for Rocky now. It's the cutest thing. Any way all is fine accept for the occasional stir of the barking at my goofball neighbors.

The Buddy and Rocky Challenge

Today I am watching TBLJ's dogs Buddy and Rocky. It's a crazy situation. My cats Samson and Delila are just about 3 months old which makes them just big enough to think they're tuff and just small enough to be curious about things still. Samson is as curious as he can be about both of the dogs and each time they hold still he sneaks up on them to get a good whiff of them. He reaches out and touches Buddy's paw-nose,tail. When Buddy passes by Samson reaches out for him with his nose. The dogs are sniffing the cats and the cats are sniffing the dogs. Poor Rocky the min pin has been getting stalked the entire evening and now he's hiding under Buddy's blanket. He tried to hide in his own little bed and the cats kept sneaking up to sniff his butt because it was sticking out so I had to squirt them and ended up getting a little on him. He and Buddy are already afraid of the squirt bottle because the cats are getting punished with it and they think it is something I would use to punish them too. Now that the cats are more comfortable with the dogs I have to figure out how to get the dogs comfortable with the cats. Samson thinks Buddy's ears are a great toy and keeps trying to flip them and Buddy is doing pretty well at keeping himself calm. It has been 2 and a half hours and things are just now beginning to calm down. The cats are playing and the dogs are laying around nibbling on their chew sticks. We'll see how long it lasts.

Samson and Delila's Big Day

Today Samson and Delila met their first dog in person. They are still pretty small. I think they are probably about 3 months old now. They've never been out of the house accept the day I brought them home in a little box with holes in it. Today TBLJ brought Buddy the dog over to test him and the cats out on how it would go. I'll be taking care of Buddy for the weekend along with his little friend Rocky the min pin who I know will chase the cats through the house. I think Delila will give him a run for his money though. Delila saw Buddy and immediately raised the hair on her back to make herself look scarier. As soon as the initial sight of him calmed down they came closer to him and tried to get a whif of what he smells like. I don't know what they learned about him from the sniff over but power to them. Eventually they got within a foot of him and then Delila sat herself up on her back paws and tried to reach out and touch him but she would pull back like she was scared each time she came close. I don't know what she would have done to him if she had touched him because I couldn't tell whether or not she was trying to play or trying to figure out how to smack him and get away with it. I need to find the squirt bottle so I can protect poor Buddy from Delila.

Hugo and Bea Check in

I have been busy with Hugo and Bea this week. They are great to hang out with. Hugo gets his insulin shot 2x daily and then he's good to go for the rest of the time. He is great when I give him his shots I bring him to the bed with me and we lay down for a nice snuggly nap. Tonight though we were laying in the bed just chilling when we heard all sorts of rustling from the other room. Hugo thought it was an intruder but I swear I was calm the whole time. LOL When I walked to the back of the house to check it out it was Bea digging around in a bag that was in the bathroom. that little scoundrel almost made Hugo and I pee the bed. It's a good thing that didn't happen since I have the computer with me. I'd hate to fry and have Bea's mom come home to a pilfered bag in the bathroom and a fried fuzzlover on the bed. Anyway all is good here on the fuzzlover homefront. Wish me luck at my own house tomorrow as it will be samson and delila's first encounter with a dog. We'll see how they end up doing.
