[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 318030, member: 1991"] No, our deer are Rusa deer. Much bigger than fallow deer. And yes, they were released so the gentry couldride to hounds. They also released foxes for the same purpose. Idiots. Rusa deer come from Java and other parts of SE Asia. [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Javan_Rusa[/url] I'm very much against hunting anything for pleasure. But hunting for food especially if it's also a species needing to be controlled in numbers - it's important to teach responsibility. Speaking of cute furry things - we dropped in on my best friend this evening (I needed to collect a garden spade of mine) and she's got rat problems. She's dosed it with rat poison, she did notice the pile of rat poison had definitely been eaten. But a large rat (very definitely rat) was lurking behind her TV cabinet. difficult child 3 & I had a good look at it, the rat definitely wasn't moving very quickly and on further examination, it left clear evidence of being very unwell. difficult child 3 commented that it looked very cute and furry. My friend was not impressed with that remark. She said she'll have no trouble removing the corpse (I'm certain it's on its last legs) so I might get a look at it tomorrow for her, try to see if it's likely to have a nest of offspring somewhere which could be adding to my friend's problems... I'm not going to offer her any recipes for rat, though! Marg [/QUOTE]
