Thanks. I'm a Vietnam vet & retired peace officer. Looking from the outside, one might assume I wouldn't have any issues on this topic but the reality is... I'd need to be extremely desperate, or have kids to feed before I'd resort to killing. At least I'm aware of my limitations. I'm not...

I'm new here with a million questions. First, I clearly understand the necessity of hunting... to maintain proper game population. For decades I purchased hunting / fishing licenses every year. Not to hunt or fish but as a donation to a necessary cause. While I've been in situations where...

Welcome! I'm new here too. Great forums, plenty of members here willing to share knowledge!

Another time there was a bird standing on our lawn with it's beak wide open, panting because it was so hot. I called my wife to the window to see it then said... "See that bird there? That one is a female." She asked... "How can you tell?" I replied... "Because she can't close her beak!" Once...

Prior to moving to our ranch, we had a typical house in the suburbs near Phoenix, AZ. One night I noticed a couple of rabbits grazing on our lawn. Obviously escapees from a nearby neighbor. My wife finally got the chance to see them before they wandered back home. I was able to buy a life-sized...

Last sighting, they were happily hopping down the bunny trail.

I never would have guessed these behaviors were "normal". I automatically assumed he had severe brain damage. 😉 Aside from that, it sure is generous of him to share HIS house with us.

I have to agree with this 100% Our Golden Retriever was the perfect mother for anything we introduced to her. Of our four current German Shepherds, only one isn't interested in the chase game. They don't seem to be interested in hurting or killing anything, it's the thrill of the chase that...

I was up before the sun this morning so as it started to get light I climbed into my old Jeep to check fences. Just a few miles from the house, perched on some boulders was a huge mountain lion! At first I thought it was merely shadows & light as it seemed too big to be a cat. I stopped the Jeep...

My story was pretty much the condensed version. Steve was a major pain in the... rear. And he wasn't here long enough to cause the amount of damage he did. He must have worked overtime. There is a saying about bison (American Buffalo) too. "You can make them go anywhere they want to go." That's...

One of our German Shepherds brought me our first rabbit. He would constantly chase wild rabbits until they would stop, then he'd sadly walk away. After we adopted the one he caught, now all the dogs and our cat is almost afraid of it! Maybe not afraid, just extremely cautious & won't go near it...

Once upon a time we had a Golden Retriever. That dog loved everybody and any critter we introduced her to. A baby squirrel we rescued. Ferrets, a cockatoo, cats... anything. She was with us almost 20 years too. What a great dog.

Somehow someone talked me into adopting a goat named Steve. The first day or two Steve seemed OK. He made friends with all the horses so I figured we could add him to our family without any problems. Soon after the newness wore off, Steve decided that he wasn't going to be restricted by any...

My wife's iq is amazingly high but her "street smarts" are severely lacking. She falls for the dumbest pranks. For example... one Thanksgiving I stuffed a Cornish Game Hen inside the turkey & she was so grossed out that it was pregnant she wouldn't eat it. Apparently she forgot they come from...

Some of you may know that I have a fresh batch of bunnies. Yes, they were an accident and yes, I should have known better but here we are. Due to logistics it's nearly impossible to find suitable homes for them and I want them safe & happy. Once old enough they will all be spayed / neutered so...

Have you tried counciling? If that fails, try showing videos of rabbits being spayed or neutered. As a last resort, explain the concept of retroactive abortion. Don't hate, I'm kidding.

That's incredibly sad news. I'm inclined to trust the mother's judgment. There may have been something terribly wrong.

This is Maggie a few hours after giving birth to her new colt. (Last November) Both parents are wild mustangs. She did it 100% on her own in the middle of the night! The first part of her pregnancy she was so starved I was very concerned she wouldn't recover. Obviously she has and has proven to...

I have a horse that matches your rabbit! I wonder if they are related.

Dumping any animal somewhere or even the mystery home I know nothing about isn't an option. To do that I might as well torture & eventually kill them myself. That won't happen either. Some of our horses were severely abused and neglected before we got them. One so bad that if I'd raise my hand...
