    It's funny, when you mention that you're a vegan, almost without exception,someone will do what you did and list as many meat products as they can. Today, that's your crown to wear!! That's the first time I've heard that it's not possible to grow vegetables/crops without animal manure or...

    electric fences

    I haven't preached about any alternative. I did link to a Google search. The viable alternative is to not kill the moles then look at your circumstances and see whether you have the right conditions to keep other livestock. If it's unsafe for you to do so, don't risk the well being of another...

    I think you'll find that I'm Vegan BECAUSE I was prepared to change my mind. I'd imagine that applies to most vegans who have been brought up culturally to eat meat. To quickly address some of your other points, fox hunting is obviously a bad thing, the fact that some people have exploited it...

    I'm sure we could all pick out individuals that go too far, on both sides of the argument.

    I haven't lectured anyone on HOW they should do it, only that what they are doing is inhumane. Would you agree with that? That it's inhumane?

    As an individual, perhaps, but that wasn't really the point being put forward.

    I wouldn't advocate the use of anything that wasn't humane - even if it did show up in the google search for humane ways to deal with moles! Other circumstances would be where information is scarce (remote tribes in Africa, South America, Asia), where crops aren't available (extreme...

    I'm sorry to hear that you might be having trouble with your little tractor :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: I'm no expert in mole control, but I know that what you are doing isn't humane, but it is a choice you make and you see the value in killing moles rather than all other alternatives.

    If you think that through you'd realise what a ridiculous statement that is! It's because I have a reasonable mind that I've been able to look at what I consume, understand what the consequences are in terms of health, animal welfare and environmental impact and come to my own conclusions about...

    Killing anything, in anything other than an act of mercy, cant be considered humane. Would I prefer it we were all vegans, yes I would. There are circumstances where it doesn't work, but we could all do "better". Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

    Oak Porch on Bungalow?

    How about a small gable over the porch that extends just beyond the front of the existing gable to break the line? Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

    My original point was that it isn't possible to kill anything humanely. Moles included. Control of vermin which spread diseases needs to be managed and it should be done in a way that causes the least amount of suffering. Am I a vegan? Yes, I am. I'm sure if you were to scrutinise my...

    I'm not sure what goading me with your plans to more animals inhumanely does. What point are you making? Just showing me that you're happy to kill things to protect your garden? Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

    To those of you putting forward the argument that cats or other animals will hunt and kill other animals, somehow it doesn't surprise me that you are somehow aligning yourselves to the intellect of animals. Sunnybob, do you think the Lady of the Manor was right? She seems like a nasty piece of...

    Roger, Trevanion Lons, if you value your precious lawns over the value of a/several moles lives, and are happy with the 'humane' way you kill them your priorities are way off in my opinion! (By the way there is no such thing as humanely killing something, it's a bit of an oxymoron to make...

    Oak Porch on Bungalow?

    I'm hoping that someone comes up with a solution, I have the same setup and have yet to be able to come up with something that works! Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

    Umm, not killing a mole would be infinitely more humane wouldn't it? How sick do you have to be to think that killing stuff is the best option? Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

    Front door panels appear crooked

    Not an easy one. Ignoring what 'should' have been done for now, what your eye is picking up is the line of the shadow of the bottom of the top rail and the frame. I think if you paint it a dark colour you'll lose some of that effect. Whether it will be enough for it to be satisfactory I'm not...

    What kind/brand of runners for a sliding box

    Yep, that's what I was thinking, a box independent to the unit that you can fix in place after. With careful design you should be able to hide all the waste pipes and have a decent amount of storage. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk
