SA1Gunner 0 Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 The recession is going to get worse and it maybe as bad as it was during the 1930's, if Britan becomes bankrupt, money will become really tight and if you have an excess quarry like pigeon, rabbit and so on, lets think about the elderly within our communities who would love to have the meat. Don't forget these are the people who made Britain Great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest foxyjo. Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 I think that's a great idea!! When, (and if!!) Lucy and I get round to catching a few of these pesky wabbits, I can just imagine the look of horror I'd get if I presented it to the young lass who lives near me!!!!! But the old couple who live next door, who follow the hunt and used to work on a farm, they'd be chuffed to bits!! He's always leaning on the fence asking how we're doing or knocking on the door to tell me the ferrets are loose!!! They will be the very first people I'll give a bunnie or two to when we nail the little buggers!!! Young people may well be broke, I'm one of them, and not so young!! But at least they can get out and do something about it. Some of the ederley are house bound, and they are from a different generation where they had to work for what they got. It must be hugely frustrating. In my opinion they are far more deserving. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kay 3,709 Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 When my kids were in the little school we always nominated the harvest festival parcel for the old man next door to my moms house , he was always delighted with it every year Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SA1Gunner 0 Posted October 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 It's nice to read so many of you are thinking about the elderly, it's a great thing to do and sadly in our communities today we don't do enough for them but I am sure, they appreciate the meat.
