That's
funny Tamara--actually it was "LMAO" that I meant I didn't get (which Barb then
explained), but it now turns out I misunderstoood the orange vest reference --I
thought it meant bullet-proof vests. Sounds like everyone in hunting country
should be wearing bullet-proof vests! And, looking at the police blotter pages
in the newspapers (per a masochistic tendency I have to scare the living
daylights out of myself), probably not a bad idea here in Chicago either (I
hopped over the pond to your fair country a few years back).
Going
back to the McKillip "animal hospital" email i sent earlier, all ideas welcome
on putting them out of business.

Nah, you're not a "dumb Brit" your just too intellectual to understand
it.
In the states, hunters often wear orange vests so as not to shoot each
other. You see, the hunter is a often a beer guzzling good ol' boy who
after consuming enough alcohol to kill a rhino will wander into the woods...or
any tree laden area with a loaded weapon and shoot at anything that
moves....cars....domestic pets...the occasional tv screen as seen from the
window of a family room....each other. The vests are supposed to be orange
flags, as it were to alert them that perhaps the verticle moving figure
they are lining up in their sites...just might NOT be a deer. Doesn't
always work tho...
In the states, hunters have been aquitted of killing: just for example: a
mother walking her kids to the bus stop....she was wearing a brown coat, white
hat and white gloves...the hunter thought the white hat and gloves were the rear
end of a deer and plugged her in the forehead infront of a crowd of elementry
school children waiting for the bus. It was ruled that because of what she
was wearing...the shoot could be deemed justified and the charges were
dropped.
My parents' 15lb poodle was "mistaken" for a deer, and one idiot even shot
at me through the sliding glass doors when I was 12 - but it was my fault
you see, I was sitting in my family room watching tv...and...my hair's
brown...so it was an honest mistake...luckily he missed me by 1/4".
Oh and did I mention that some hunters start as young as 8 & 9 years
old. Be thankful for that big "pond" between us and you!
