how dangerous is it for the ferret when he's underground? I saw a picture once where the ferret has come out and looks pretty bloodied and injured.
I keep thinking that I should be going ferreting, or rabbit hunting; because I have run out of our own chickens from the freezer and I don't really want to buy shop chicken, although I will probably have to. I don't know if I could kill a rabbit, I'd feel bad to take that rabbit away from its family, lol. But then it's had a nice wild life before being hit on the head.
Sorry for kind of hijacking the thread! |
Azura, it's doing what they do naturally for the ferret I think, like hounds and terriers. I am firmly on the side of knowing the rabbit has had a nice wild life. I do know what you mean about feeling bad, but I now think it's a natural thing. Happy hunters, bunny has a good life before death and no-one is eating factory-farmed chickens. Just my take, though.  |

well thats good then, (that its rare for them to be injured).
My two don't seem super eager to vanish down holes to be honest. Not even a trouser leg.
I would never consider hunting rabbit if it wasn't for the fact that I hate buying shop meat, and that I want the best for my two fuzzbutts. Is there such a thing as 'reared' rabbit? As in, a rabbit born and bred in the same way as a chicken is raised to become oven fodder one day.
When people kill rabbits, it is a blow to the head, or a cut to the throat that finishes them off? It's one reason I don't like buying chicken because, even if its organic, it's still had its throat cut. I don't like that, a nice clean chop, or whack is better. If all rabbits are killed via a hefty whack over the head, I may just buy rabbit as I know its had a quicker death than a chicken. |
