So I spent a few nights cussing at them while squirting them with the highest pressure I could get out of my garden hose. They broke a few things in my yard and bagged four of our goldfish, incuding one of my favorites. We put wire fence "lids" on the ponds and used repellant. Problem solved. Now that we have the dog, he protects the yard and he has chased them off. They don't try for the fish anymore.

While we each solved our problems, the BB would have to be the last resort for me. The BB would be a little higher up on the list of problem solvers for my hubby, though.
The BB gun will solve the problem for good. And for some people, the raccoon would have been some good eatin'.

I have lived here for my entire 50+ years and have only encountered 1 dogfighter and a handful of cockfighters in that time. And I used to work with the our local Humane Society. If dogfighting had a large presence around here then I would have known.
Being a "big business" and being a "cultural phenomena" are two different things.
Kinda like the different regional music styles, dances, and other things of that nature. Not everybody in the south eats pig ears. But I got a pack in my freezer right now.

We have unusually large squirrels where I live. When our hunter friend came to town for a visit, I asked him what he thought of our squirrels. His response? "I think they look delicious!"

And you will find pig ears in virtually every grocery store in the South because they are a cultural phenomena. Dogfights go on all over the world. They are not a "Southern Thang."
Right now America spends $700 billion every year on foreign oil. That's our money going overseas when it could be staying here. We have to stop this. That's why I support the Pickens Plan. Check out the website at www.pickensplan.com. If you like what you see, please join me as a Pickens Plan supporter.

'Nuff of this already.

But if there is a final thought, I suppose you would probably eat "Rocky Mountain Oysters", in areas where it is cooked. I don't think I would need to tell you what they are. I've had them in the distant past.

I have had the same thought about the giant bunny rabbits that live in the meadow behind my house.

There's certainly not any pig ears being sold in markets out here in SoCal. Geez, the stores in the south I know are of the Piggly Wiggly franchises.

Buffalo/bison yes, not pig ears.

I'm SoCal, too. I saw buffalo in the meat case the other day at Ralph's. I noticed that they are beginning to carry Laura's lean beef. it's all organic, no animal feed. I picked up a pound of ground beef and may make some burgers tonight.

The only pig ears around here are smoked, dried and can be found at PetCo or other pet supply stores. My last aussie loved them.
