When k30a loses fish to herons and raccoons and other predators we'll
see how the tune changes...

Denise
who never lost a pond fish

LMAO at Carol :-)

Sorry k30a. Didn't mean to ruffle your feathers :-)

Just being honest about how I deal with things trying to kill my fish,
unlike many people posting here.

My middle name is Robin, as in Robin Hood. More like Robin THE Hood
LMAO.

THANKS "Just me koi!!"

Denise,

I know , sometimes its hard for webtver's to post things.
but could you cut & paste the sentence/paragraph that you are referring
to???
It gets lost in the meaning, & we have no idea what you are referring to ,
trying to go back & find the relevant post is almost impossible(especially
when the person you are answering has written many) & too time consuming.
thanks.........

I have lost fish to a heron. I'd never consider killing the
bird. I would try to discourage it's return but I'd never
harm it or any other visitor to my pond.

My main concern is that the killing of herons is illegal. People have gone to
jail for it. People have had to shell out major $$ for it.
Posting the suggestion to kill them is risking some other ponder's welfare and
money.

Attempting to shoot the heron, lasso the heron, skewer the heron, verbally
abuse the heron, make fun of the heron or ruffle the heron's feathers in any
manner. Refer to the Migratory Bird Act - fines and jail stays cut in on pond
dollars and pond time.

try one of those ultrasonic machines. I know they are supposed to not work, but my
inlaws are in the woods and have been using them to keep the vermin out of the crawl
spaces under their house. they say it works. Ingrid

K30a, what do you find troubling about a lady taking out the pesky raccoon?

In 1996, a family of raccoon trashed my house while I was living inside it
mind you! $40,000 plus later, and no matter what I did to discourage them,
they will not leave! Wildlife people will not help, gave me cages to use!
But the darn coons are too smart for the cages!

Then my few months old daughter was getting sick, suspected that the poops
for the coons were getting in the air condition ducts!

Anyway, that's my story.

Denise,

Not really wanting to start a ruck, but can you please tone it down a little
bit ?

WebTV is very close to Jerry Springer, but you need to make a distinction.

We all have our opinons & experiences, but no need to be so rude to a fellow
ponder :-)

This is not about ruffled feathers, but it's the second time I see you
insinuating people are dishonest in their replies.

They are not, and I ask you politely to think again about your current
online personae :-)

FWIW,

Theo

Oh for goodness sake! How many more fish will you allow to be murdered?
Please stop buying fish if you can't protect them.

Theo, I wouldn't know about Jerry Springer, except from bits and pieces
of that crap shown on other shows. I don't watch trash TV. Saying that
webtv is very close to Jerry Springer, however, is quite the insult and
awfully rude of you...

Some PC newsgroups are just as bad, if not worse, when it comes to
nastiness.
This happens to be the only non-webtv group I read and post in because I
have an interest in ponds and there isn't a good webtv based one.

I have been enjoying this group and have learned lots of good info and I
hope I have offered some and helped others. I have received some very
nice emails from people here.

I certainly like giving compliments to people on the great ponds they
have created. Love looking at all the pics!
I don't care to get into arguments over lifestyles, values, religion
(HATE holy rollers) sex, politics or anything else that is
controversial. As I stated in previous post, I have nothing else to say
on the matter of protecting my fish from predators. Others can do, or
not do, what they want.

BTW, my "on-line personae" (on line since 1996) is exactly the same as
my real life one. You can't please everyone, so you got to please
yourself :-)
