He was very big on proactive rat control, you get a terrier bred to root out rat nests and you go in hard and take them all out That's what terriers are for and that's why they act the way they do

Terriers, unlike natural predators that humans have not fucked with, do not hunt because they are hungry Their instincts have been warped into a genocidal urge to find any small burrowing thing in the vicinity and rip and tear and rip and tear until nothing moves anymore

Now that we've mostly moved on to higher-tech, less bloody means of large-scale pest control, terriers are obsolete for their original function, and their more-domesticated descendants get these feelings out by just being very annoying

It's just funny how heavily we've fucked with dogs, especially compared to cats Terriers are a Bio-Organic Weapon They literally have Dalek minds, "EX-TERM-IN-ATE, EX-TERM-IN-ATE"

If we're going with the whole Tolkien fantasy races metaphor then cats vs. dogs is like regular Orcs vs. Saruman's "fighting Uruk-hai"

Have you seen the dude that uses minks to hunt rats? He has a dog that helps, too, but mainly those minks are viscous and can clean out a rat nest in minutes. Course they’re getting Covid these days, poor critters.

I would think he's probably using ferrets, not minks, as they're excellent ratters and have been bred for it since Roman times. Mink, on the other hand, have been bred more for their fur (poor little buggers).

Nope, mink. He even gets them from a mink farm for breeding.https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLImk-bAPW5Dx-jYWZASMd7HbbT_TegLQo …

Weird! Looks like he might be pioneering hunting with mink? They're close cousins of the ferret (mustelids) so it makes sense.

I don’t know if ferrets only exist as “domesticated” weasels or not but the weasel family is no joke when it comes to hunting and mink are known for killing and killing even when it’s more than they can eat. And they can take down prey bigger than they are.

I am mostly against the use of animals for fur (largely because it's unnecessary in our modern economy) but when we had a bio assignment to dissect skinned minks to study mammal biology the professor casually brought this up

"These animals were donated and would otherwise have been discarded, the farm makes no money from this arrangement, we are providing no incentive to raise or kill mink But just so you know, if a mink could kill *you* for your skin, it would"

Don’t give them any ideas. They could probably take us down.
