OT: A sad morning

Lose the apostrophe. It's just dogs. And cats do catch rabbits, frequently. Anyone who says otherwise has either never lived in the country or knows bugger all about cats.

Wildcats are themselves a breed, and rare, and as for the Owl, Eagle Owls are the largest threat, but a barn Owl can catch a small kitten.

You're a pathetic excuse for a human being. Yes, a dog will chase a cat, and it won't do it if correctly trained.

I can assure you, you wouldn't get it.

I have... a naughty ginger tom with a wild rabbit hanging from its mouth was being apprehended by a couple of people outside a place I was delivering to the other week.

My mate has a cat with 3 legs that catches rabbits still :) And pigeons, and probably sheep, horses, and bears if there were any here :) Its a big cat...

A clueless punctuator, certainly.

All you need is access to an illegal one. I used to get offered them (full barrel and sawnoff) all the time when I lived in a small market town, from mates. £50 would normally sort out a standard double barrel

Did get offered a very cut down, strange little single barrel once for £30. He said the spread was far too much to be any thing other than a scarer. Not surprising really it was not much bigger than a pistol (bit like a very oversized flare gun) and no it wasn't a flair gun. It was a shotgun, but a smaller bore than a 12 bore.

Which would be illegal possesion of a firearm then? Heh! I hope you were offered cartridges too, as you cant buy them without a license...

How 'big' was the barrel, if it was tiny prolly a 410. Going buy the fact these would be used at very close range (sawn-off) then you would certainly put big holes in humans with that 'scarer', I used to shoot a 410 when I was

Point taken, just the guy I posted to was coming across as "ere, in't country" so I assumed it was either his shot-gun or a friends held legally.

Sounds like a single barrel 20 bore shame it was destroyed.

Hey, its quite funny round my local on the weekend there's the meat-man, the phone-man etc... (to name but two), and then its not un-common to look round and see someone taking 'lines' off the table in full view while his mate rolls up.

Weimaraners (it's German so the W is pronounced V) well why did he buy two if he couldn't handle them, I dare say he didn't even use the dog's for what they were bred for.

The breed have a rather aggressive tendency but nothing that cant be controlled with correct management.

You are right. They are a beautiful proud dog, and do need to discipline of an Alpha male in it's "pack" if you want to keep it obedient.

I'll see if he's still got them and report back
