Here's a thought, as a nation we throw away a lot of food. Why not bring back the stocks & pillories, then at least the waste food could be put to good use.

Just one question.......... what did these low life get out of this?

I hope they are now scared to death knowing that the locals are against them and if caught will always be known as low life scum.

Their parents should be ashamed.

The parents have a hell of a lot to answer for !!! Who gave these kids a gun FGS.
Make them scrub the cobbles in hythe marina with tooth brushes and let their children stand with placards with " EPIC FAIL " with a huge red arrow pointing to the Parents.

No, it's not their style.

Far more likely are the children of quite wealthy families who do not supervise their kids adequately, or, conversely, organise their day to the point of suffocation.

Kids at Hardley School or Applemore will know who did it by now.

Mouths shut, ears open. Play the waiting game, and somebody will say something sooner or later.

there has been a clear correlation between animal abuse and human torture

Don’t you lot think that locking kids up for the rest of their lives or castrating them is just a tad over the top because they killed a couple of ducks, cruel yes, but not a hanging offence.
Where are all these firebrands offering rewards when an OAP gets attacked for their pension, or when the Duke of Edinburgh and his gang kill or main thousands of our feathered friends.
I think some on here should try to keep things a little more in prospective.
After all they’re only ducks.

Some years ago three brats from the Zoo were arrested for killing ducks in another nearby nature reserve but I expect that was a one-off. Sadly the Lymington Times couldn't name them because they were under age. I wouldn't fall off my stool with shock if the latest killings were carried out by zoo-ers!

"The Zoo" eh?

Is that the same place a local taxi driver told me was called "The Jungle", because "It's where all the monkeys live"?

And do you know what kind of people, historically, have perceived their enemies as animals?

21st Century, and this is still where we are. Wow.

Perhaps you should value their life because if you don't, you're really not too different from them. You can't really condemn someone for not valuing the life of another and then go on to do the same thing.

This is what happens when you allow a generation to grow up without values and morals. We have been far to liberal with parenting and now many kids have grown up not respecting anything and the parents are just as bad, and yes this is spawned from the lower classes whether you like it or not.

Haven't you missed the point, George ? Proper would willingly p*ss on decent people who were on fire, but not on nasty ones. As Proper clearly points out, some people's lives are of no value.

Taking an overall look at life, the human race is not very good at managing its affairs or keeping its house in order. And that's because there seems to be two sides to everything : the duality of life, and the never-ending battle between Good and Evil.

The hypocrisy of people in this country when it comes to animal rights amazes me. Some sadistic but, in all likelihood, emotionally damaged fools shoot some ducks and the good people of Southampton have written to the Echo suggesting such over the top punishments as: the stocks, sending them to Afghanistan to be shot at by religous fanatics, not urinating on them if they were on fire etc etc.

Yet on the other hand, a few weeks ago the king of Spain was in the papers standing next to a dead elephant which he'd just shot through the head. It would be harder to think of a more sadistic act of animal cruelty than that.Where was the moral indignation of the nation at this?!!? The bloke got a bloomin ticket to the Queen's jubilee buffet!!

Its no wonder kids act so badly when they witness such hypocrisy from their elders

Looks like you are the one thinking Netley View. Do you have a problem with the good folks who live there?

Here's a piece of information that might shock you: Just because I do not agree with something, does not mean I do not undersand it. It's not really your place to tell me whose lives I should value and whose I shouldn't.

George......I am not stupid.

I did not TELL you to think or do anything, because, as you quite rightly say, it is no ones place to tell you what to think.

I asked a QUESTION : "Haven't you missed the point....?" It appeared to me that you might have, which is implicit in the choice of "Haven't" rather than "Have", but I might have been wrong. I was seeking clarification.

I find the vast majority of the "Georgem" posts of great interest, and often most thought-provoking, and I respect them. So I am somewhat taken aback at the tone of your reply.

However, if I have caused any misunderstanding, then I apologise, and look forward to reading more of your posts.

Have you noticed it's always the same people who begin the "stirring" by throwing in a red herring, or something provocative ? I used to do it for a bit of fun, but I have seen how it can cause unintended mayhem, so I don't do it anymore. But watch out for the usual ones : Stillness, Lone Ranger, the subtle but cunning Rightway.....one or two others - can't think of them now. They always deliberately orchestrate trouble, and pick on those who don't know about them. I'm fairly convinced they are intelligent teenagers who enjoy the manipulative matchplay. But who knows ? One thing's for sure : now their strings have been pulled, the puppets will dance ! Oh ! Nearly forgot old "one-liner" Mick ! Like a well-trained parrot, he'll say "Dik, do one" for us ! He got up at half-past two this morning just to say that ! Check the time on his post.

Norman Bareham our local Community Safety Officer has been absolutely excellent in helping trying to catch the offenders, I can't thank him enough for what he's doing!

What I find disturbing is the distinctly sexual undertones to a lot of the punishments these simpletons dream up.
