Nobody misses a 'possum except possibly the owls

Speaking of owls, my 10 y/o granddaughter just did a section in her science
class where they "investigated" the fewmets of owls to see what their dining
habits were....she thought it was neat until I suggested that the bones were
very much like Skipper the missing hamster.....

Read somewhere recently that kids got charged with cruelty to animals
for seeing if it was true that chickens could run with their head
chopped off.

How times have changed. When I was a kid, that's where chicken dinner
came from, and that's what happened to roosters that got a bit too
cocky. They really could run around with their heads chopped off.

I cried my eyes out one time when I went outside and discovered my favorite
rooster hanging headless from the clothesline. Thoroughly enjoyed him for
dinner that night. We really are raising a bunch of woosies.

They bleed out better that way....my gramma and my mom always did the deed
by stringing a line, hanging them by their feet and slitting their
throats...they'd do the dance macabre without getting all mucky...

We use to do 100 at a time, white leggerds. It was something to see 5
or 10 at a time running and flipping around the yard. Did not matter
much if they got dirty we would dunk then in boiling water to remove
the feathers.

We did not chopp or slit anything, just lay a pipe across its neck
and yank its feet the head just popped off.

Now the furry little bunny rabbits were a different story.

And every fall we would dress out at least one big deer and one head
of cattle.

And we had a 5 acre garden to tend to. Oh for the good ol days in
Springtown.
