Kindergarten's rabbit hunt horrifies animal lovers
Good to see then talking about teaching kids saftey. Ormond kindy is semi rural so there will be a few farming type kids that go there :thumbsup:
I see nothing wrong with it, they are not teaching kids to pick up a stick and beat a cat to death, its a fundraiser to raise funds for their kindy and humanely remove two pests and teach the kiddies more about safety
I agree totally with you guys.
Learning firearms safety at a young age will ensure that they won't turn into 'desensitised purveyors of domestic violence'.
I taught my kids safe handling of firearms when they were 7 & 9 years old.
They aren't all that interested in firearms, but would probably know more about handling rifles/shotguns, than a pro-gun control townie.
I think our learned professor better get off his shiny arse and see what possums can do to a native bird's nest/eggs/chicks.
$12-$18 per possum skin is a great incentive for the locals to get behind the event - and for out of district people to assist in the local pest control program.
Pity my missus has a pub crawl organized for me on the day - and she's driving too :thumbsup:
Damn there are some dicks in the world. Big ups to the school / kindy for running the event. I hope they enjoy a great deal of success with their fund raising. The kids will have a ball.
If this Animal rights activists went to my young fellas school (rural)they would be horrified :D:D thats all the kids talk about. Who went out hunting and who got what. Even some of the girls talk about hunting and guns and shooting
Nothing less than what many of us grew up with. Bloody good on them. Beats the shit out of video games.Quote:

That aside sounds like your usual nupty that is full of emotive talk and completely lacking in valid argument.
"Director of research and education Prof Andrew Knight says encouraging "violence towards animals leads to violence against people"."
Slaughtering of animals for consumption is a violent action. Don't see hordes of abattoir staff, fishermen, hunters all roaming the streets looking for people to kill.
SAFE are just as bad as PETA, pack of lentil munching loonies
Any advetising is good advertising :thumbsup: all this professor has done is bring it to the attention of more people
Send them an email of support gfka@clear.com
that is the problem with social media. you can get the whole world tuning in to your little channel.including a huge population of urbanites who don't know anything about animals except what they learnt off watching Disney.
Sounds like a good weekend away in Ormond. If I lived closer I'd be keen on going. Nice bit of advertising 😁

Prof Knight says it's a bad look for New Zealand. Well mr prof of what ever , 1080 is a bad look for NZ too . At least the family's are getting away in the outdoors together , and learning far more than academia has tort you by the look of things .
email of encouragement sent, well done to that community in giving their kids the opportunity to make informed decisions re hunting and firearms.
I don't see Prof Knight taking DOC, AHB, Govt, etc to task on the poisoning of possums seeing as they apparently don't have any effect on native birds according to him.....
The Green party & animal welfare held a public meeting down here last week...0 attended ,another example of how out touch these muppets are good luck to Ormand kindy hopefully they stick up for them selfs & have a good fund raiser
Never got to do things like this when I went to kindy. Would have been great fun. Oh wait, I failed the entrance examinations and never went to kindy or preschool.
It's funny how people forget there history and where they came from, those animal lovers had fathers, grandfathers, great grandfathers that ate those animals as the main source meat during the Great Depression. My father would tell stories killing small game was a way of life for my father and his 8 brothers and sisters after school. Even for me I shot my first rabbit before I was 5 years old. Now days it's all about conservation and teaching a new generation that they saved many trees because that trailer load of possums aren't going to eat any more bush. It's not about the killing it's a food source for the cat, dog or for even us.
My Aunty wod make an awsome rabbit stew back when we were young. Prob still would if I took her rabbits
Bloody tree huggers at it again. In my humble option the only true wilderness is between a greenys ears.

the weather has been crap here for the last for days. heavy rain since yesterday at home the creeks are up high with a extra lake in the paddock below my house. So unfortunately i dont think the kindy would have made much money.
