Re the goat ...

If it wasn't working out, butcher and eat it as one would other domestic animals...cow, sheep, hog, poultry.

Again ... Why Any of this is included in a bio intended to somehow qualify one for Veep is kinda nuts.

cowboy

RE: Poor, Poor Cricket

Someone's right to protect their stock (read: livelihood) is pretty much unquestioned.

That applies not only to dogs, but natural predators as well ... even including - at least in some states - protected species such as raptor birds.

A raptor in/near a pasture during calving season ... His protection has run out ... sad flower

I don't Make the laws ... That's just the way it Is.

Stock killing dogs end up like the sheep biter in Aesop's fable ... in ancient Greece, the UK, South Dakota or wherever.

RE: Poor, Poor Cricket

Fable of the sheep biting dog ...
A CERTAIN Shepherd had a Dog, upon whose fidelity he relied very much; for whenever he had an occasion to be absent himself, he committed the care and tuition of the flock to the charge of his Dog; and, to encourage him to do his duty cheerfully, he fed him constantly with sweet curds and whey; and sometimes threw him a crust or two extraordinary. Yet, notwithstanding this, no sooner was his back turned, but the treacherous cur fell foul upon the flock, and devoured the sheep instead of guarding and defending them. The Shepherd being informed of this, was resolved to hang him; and the Dog, when the rope was about his neck, and he was just going to be tied up, began to expostulate with his master, asking him, why he was so unmercifully bent against him, who was his own servant and creature, and had only committed one or two crimes; and why he did not rather execute revenge upon the Wolf, who was a constant and declared enemy? Nay, replies the Shepherd, it is for that very reason that I think you ten times more worthy of death than he; from him I expected nothing but hostilities, and therefore could guard against him: you I depended upon as a just and faithful servant, and fed and encouraged you accordingly; and therefore your treachery is the more notorious, and your ingratitude the more unpardonable.

RE: Poor, Poor Cricket

The relationship between canines and humans is multi faceted and has been developing since the dawn of humankind.

Dogs assisted us as companions, hunters and protectors.

Those that succeeded in those roles passed along their genes.
Those that failed ... sad flower

Aesop gives an ancient example in the fable of the hanged sheep biting dog ...

Harsh? Yeah. But it's made domestic dogs what they are today.

cowboy

RE: Poor, Poor Cricket

Doing in Cricket wasn't so crazy ... but citing it as a qualification for Veep? That's Crazy.

cowboy

RE: Poor, Poor Cricket

In the Guv's defense ...
Doing in Cricket may be the Least crazy part.

If she was going after livestock - chickens - that's an automatic death sentence in a rural setting.
That's not just commonly understood, it's written into state laws.
At least one state has extended that ruling to a dog chasing protected game animals... i.e. whitetail deer.

The thinking being that killing the dog not only protects the livestock/game animals, also eliminates it from the gene pool.

I suppose a moldy mess Could happen ... but it never has.
I "discovered" this nearly a couple years ago and I must've made upwards of 100 lb. by now.

I admit that I'm kinda amazed how they can clean and bag the stuff with all the bad things dead and all the good things alive and ready to go to work.

I can't say How it works ... but it Does.

I've searched the net to see if anyone else has noticed this ... a few have.

Re bagged kraut on sandwiches and such ...

Note that most recipes for fermented cabbage include significant amounts of salt while Mick's Bagged Kraut uses None.
It's Much lighter and "fresher" tasting than regular kraut, relishes, condiments and such.

Nothing's like it.

If gobbling kraut/kimchi-is is intimidating, try adding a bit to sandwiches and such ... Absolutely Nothing is better on a bratwurst.

Agreed on eating innards handshake ... Especially liver.

Considering what the liver does, it seems like eating a used oil filter ... barf
