Dirtbags hunting wildlife in Prospect Park


From The Brooklyn Paper:

Cops have busted a group of oddball poachers in Prospect Park — a band of vagrants that was trapping and eating ducks, squirrels and pigeons.

Parks officers wrote four tickets — two for killing wildlife and two for illegal fishing — totaling $2,100 in fines during a two-day period last week.

The city would not immediately release details of the incidents, which occurred on July 17 and 18 — just days after park-goers told rangers about a “Beverly Hillbillies”-like scene on the southeast side of the lake, near the ice skating rink.

The disheveled — and possibly homeless — tribe in question uses “makeshift” fishing poles and traps to catch the critters, then grills them over the fire, according to park watchdogs.

So - homeless people were ticketed for KILLING WILDLIFE in a city park?????

How about roasting these guys over a fire?

If the Republicans get their way - all the senior citizens will be joining them . . .

Illegals? Or just "undocumented"?

An elderly guy me during the depression he and his brothers would trap birds for dinner all the time - in Brooklyn. They were probably disheveled, but weren't homeless.

At least they are hunting for survival and not just for sport.

In the 1960's I used to hunt pheasant and rabbit in Lutheran, Mount Olivet, John's, Mount Neboh and other cemeteries. We were kids and used home made bows and arrows. We cleaned and roasted them over an open fire in the cemetery.

We also saw the cemetery workers do the same. They would take them in the morning and eat them for lunch.

This problem is getting worse all over.

Two years ago an elderly Asian woman was chasing a large white duck with a machete in Manhasset bay park.

Last fall the Mextizo Chupracabras from the church tents in Riverhead hike-bike the LIRR track on full moons.
They tried to steal my chickens and made off with some tomatos & figs in Mattituck twice.

"Caw, blimey....shoot the bloody poachers"!

Many a British lord's game warden carried a special poaching gun.

They were weapons that fired shot that "chewed up" poaching trespassers on his estate.

I propose we return to this practice regarding these sub-humans!

"poaching gun"
They have these on Shinnecock and Robins Island.
Poachers kept rowing out into the Peconic preserves from the woods in South Hampton.
Both the private security on Robins Island or Shinnecock Indians will shoot ya right in the ass, leg or boat with a salt-gun without a heartbeats hesitation.

Ever see a group of Frito Bandito's paddling like Matt Hooper in a sinking 2 man rubber boat ?

Those old time Brits
didn't use salt in their blunderbusses.

They used shot,
which is even better Joe!

A poacher could lose a bloomin' leg!

Has anyone ever read the short story entitled, "The most Dangerous Game" where the hunter gets hunted?

Close the park gates....give these poachers a 5 minute head start....and turn loose a brace of hungry wolves.

Con carne without the chili for supper....yummy!
