Colin Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 A farmer in northern B.C. who caught a lynx in his chicken coop on Sunday didn't react the way one might expect. He didn't grab a gun or yell at the wild animal. Instead, Chris Paulson grabbed the lynx by the scruff of its neck, lifted it off the ground and scooped it from the coop. Then he gave it a gentle scolding. "He just looked ... a bit like [a kid] with its hand in the chocolate chip bag," Paulson told CBC News from his home near Decker Lake, west of Prince George. "So I kind of gave him a little lecture and and then told him he shouldn't come back."

Good question Quote Jeff Palm, a conservation officer in nearby Burns Lake, said officials don't condone what happened. "We don't recommend handling a lynx with bare hands. You certainly might lose an arm," Palm told CBC News. "Lynx are wild cats and they can be ferocious." Palm said he was surprised to hear Paulson "was able to grab it by the scruff of the neck and not end up being bitten and scratched up." The conservation officer said while some people may think what happened was preferable to shooting and killing the lynx, "it is technically illegal to capture live wildlife and move them to a new location and can result in a fine."

rmgill Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Well, clearly he needs to wait for an game officer to come and then deposit it in the car with the game officer. Let him handle the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's wrong with letting them turn themselves into plague rats and infecting other people? Regardless of the specific issue, "your worldly laws don't apply to our religious community" is a somewhat uneasy proposition. Even before we come to Muslims or Orthodox Jews running their parallel legal systems, parishes over here sometimes invoke the ancient tradition of "church asylum" to shield rejected asylum seekers from deportation. Which would be fine by me if they took over complete care for them, since capacity is obviously limited vis-a-vis total numbers. Unfortunately the shelter is frequently not limited to actual sacred ground rather than extended to any property owned by clerical institutions, upkeep is of course still paid by public authorities as long as the fugitives remain in the country, and the aim usually just is to outwait the period inside which people must be returned to the Schengen country which they fist entered under the Dublin Agreements, after which Germany becomes responsible and must start proceedings anew. Religious celebrations have actually turned into COVID superspreader events in Germany - notably a couple services by evangelical churches with much singing in Frankfurt and Bremen, a Catholic priest who infected people in several congregations in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Muslim fast-breaking gatherings, Turkish weddings, etc. Edited April 12, 2021 by BansheeOne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Both parties are being stupid with 51% the government, the remainder the church. I don't know the specifics, nor the specific laws but I am wondering if: 1. Allow the congregation in the church with masks and social distancing? 2. Allow attending said church in the parking lot with the parishioners remaining in their cars? 3. Sending one higher authority official to meet with the minister beforehand to discuss the situation and allow a compromise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burncycle360 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Good time to point out the cops weren't six feet apart? This isn't about covid, it's about defiance, and they have to squash that toot sweet. I wonder just where their threshold of self reflection is...

Yeah, that's what sensible people would do, if both parties act in good faith. But you never know who is actually responsible for the failure of communication. Is it state officialy who want to escalate to have a warning example, or is it the minister who sees an opportunity to get into headlines? The video commentary covering the situation does not suggest that the Christian community is interested in an amiable solution. "Here come the shock troops" "wearing gas masks" ... all I can see are some elevated body mass index cops deploying in sufficient number to cordon the area, wearing FFP2 masks as a reasonable precaution. Those "citizen reporters" do not help their case with hyperbolic voice-overs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burncycle360 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 (edited) If masks permit the police to gather within six feet of each other, what's the problem with the people doing the same? This nonsense happens in the US too with jews attending funerals "superspreader events" yet this is not, medical experts agree, because it's for a good cause. So people are rightly pissed. It's the very definition of gaslighting. Edited April 12, 2021 by Burncycle360 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ssnake Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 You can't cordon an area if the police are supposed to stay six feet from each other. Trying to turn that into an argument that Covid countermeasures are bogus means debating in bad faith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burncycle360 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 (edited) The masks apparently mitigate their risk to an acceptable level in the eyes of the state. Edited April 12, 2021 by Burncycle360 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
