    I see that you continue to intentionally misconstrue and twist my comments completely out of context. I never said any such thing. It's time to let it go.

    Not being up on Northeastern haggis harvesting traditions, one cannot help but wonder how they boil their haggis humanely once they have been netted, or caught in humane traps?

    Oh, they are not harmed in any way but moved to a secret location away from your murderous intentions, Jock.

    As I am not a fan of eating haggis, they are perfectly safe from me!

    But you have confessed to hunting and shooting them, Jock, and probably fish for the aquatic species. This in the name of "sport"?

    I am not sure that I did? I haven't checked, I certainly gave advice of how one dresses suitably, but I am pretty sure that I didn't say that I was involved.
