Shocking Discovery At Local Farm!, page 1

I have guns out the wazoo, but I have never pointed one at another human being. If some crazed lunatic posed a threat to my family, then it might be a different story. But that is why I own a big ass biting dog!! I like to think that I would only use a gun towards my fellow man as a last resort and then as I stated, only if my family was in mortal danger. I would never pump someone full of lead if I walked out and caught them stealing my chickens!

I have mixed feelings about this. As you, I would do the same to prevent my family from starving but did the person, could they have asked the person first?
It takes a very hard soul to let someone go hungry.

Of course, I have no idea if the person asked but if so and the answer was no, there must have been others to ask.

Was it sheer desperation or a failure to overcome pride and ask?

You make a very valid point. I am sure that pride was a big factor in not asking! I know that the area in which I live is full of deer, all matter of wild game. Of course there are no seasons in at this time and I doubt the person could afford the license anyway. I have wondered why not poach a deer..well that takes ammo, you ain't gonna sneak up on a deer and cut its throat! I hate to think that anyone is going hungry in the used to be land of plenty!

This man said that this had never happened before and I would think that if he did to sell, he would have taken more than one calf...thats just my opinion though! I have chickens myself, and I can tell you is someone came to my door and ask me for one because they were hungry, I'd give them two, along with some eggs!

We're the same way here...if you are in genuine need, you'll probably get more help than you want...but, if you try to steal it, you're literally risking your life....That's a big part of why I live where i do

It used to be a common practice among the better off folks with farms or gardens to leave a little spare food lying in the open so hungry people could take it without being called thieves, which also avoided the need for confrontation.

What a wonderful idea.

I remember growing up that people who hitchhiked on rail cars used to come to my grandmothers door for a handout and she always gave them something to eat. I later learned that they left signs for others to follow for a handout. It really doesn't matter. Though she was what most of us call poor she always had enough to give to someone who was hungry.

I was thinking the same exact thing.

Unless there was a sign that said
"Oh hey sorry I was hungry, had to feed the kids!".

Things like this have been going on forever for all kinds of reasons maybe it's new to your town but not new what so ever to the US.

I think that this is left up to a persons perspective
lets say this happened to a UFO enthusiast it would be
"OH MY GOD ALIENS KILLED COW IN MY TOWN WITH LASERS THAT CUT THE MEAT OFF THE BONE!!"

Or if it happened or was told to someone who was heavy against or into the occult "OH NO SATANIST KILLED A COW IN MY TOWN FOR A SATANIC RITUAL!!"....

And the list can go on whatever floats your boat the most is what you're going to first associate these things to, well some people.

No one knows why a person does these things until it comes from their mouths and to give them an easy excuse like this is rather faulty when it comes to the world of police and even more so could damage the investigation.

Oh and if SHTF people are going to need to learn to get by and not depend on live stock anyway you're either not going to be "lucky" enough to have it or it's going to so contaminated you're not going to want to eat it.

For those who are really worried about this they should look into what I like to call indoor farming, or indoor gardens that they can make sure the soil is clean and pure and also have climate control and light control, and it's inside so someone would have to come in and take it.
I haven't invested in this yet as there's no need to yet.
Also get the basics beans, rice and some greens and reds/yellows then you have everything you could need and also stock up bags of rice and other grains it will be hard at first to reduce food consumption to things like this even more so for the over consumer but if you learn moderation early you will be able to cope a lot sooner and more be more comfortable without hunger pains and head aches, also if you feel you can't go without taste stock up on simple spices or those little packets of flavors where you just add water they have a long shelf life and are cheap and will help psychologically as well so things don't get to mundane that's a big part of what a food crisis is going to impact on Americans who once had it "easy" they psychological impact because must of us don't realize what a minimum of food we can actually live on.

I have a new thread about scores of negative energy surging right now DG, the cat thing made me think about it just now. Seriously there are some truly demonic energies happening with this waning moon.
