Search Results: the chase

In farming, you'll often get young animals rejected by their mother's or babies that didn't quite make it. Normally, you just give a reject to a mother who's lost one and all's fine. If you need a "spare" lamb you can buy one really cheaply off Facebook for that purpose.

Of course these excess baby animals also make excellent pets. You get a cute playful lamb or calf that'll want hugs and eartickles, chase balls etc.

But they often get too big and bored with humans even a little unfriendly or dangerous to handle. It's not a problem because cows, sheep, pigs, chickens etc are all delicious.

So have you ever had an edible pet, and did you actually eat it?

It's 50 years since the movie Jaws was released. In the movie, a misunderstood shark is chased and harassed by Quinn and friends, resulting in the death of a beautiful creature. These days mishandling sharks is frowned upon and most anglers and skippers will handle them with care as not to injure them.

But things do go wrong, and people get bitten. I had a smooth hound clamp down on my finger once due to carelessness and a few bull huss have chewed by boots and tried to bite my face off.

So have you been bitten by a shark?
