Thank you splitimage for adding the trigger icon. I should have thought. I really love animals. They are better to me than people. Maybe I should just leave, I'm not doing anything good here.

IowaFarmGal, I live on a farm so understand the need to keep the vermin under control. We get rats in the barn as big as possums! I love animals, but am not willing to put up with giant rats!
"sporting event for the rest of the family" - Country life is different than life in the city or suburbs, but this is just plain gross. It's one thing to take care of vermin. Making sport of it is disturbing. Hon, you were a child. You were not in control. You did what the adults told you that you had to do.
As for you leaving because you are not doing any good here. That's just not true. Your posts are helpful and supportive to other members. You make a positive contribution at PC!
