Need help with my buzzard

For one you don't want to post things like what you have done to the rat in
here,
people that either don't understand or don't like the food chain will
FREAK...

My friend could not feed his snakes when his reptile pet shop was open
to the public in Los Angeles he had to wait until after closing...

It seams as if you have stunned the rat enough to entise him to eat...
Take him to a vet...

You should set her free. She is morose because she is being kept in
captivity when she is by nature a free creature that Mother Gaia created
to soar the thermals, not sit in your livingroom as a conversation piece.

As for the rats, I suspect you are a serial killer in the making.
Something is wrong with you and you should seek professional help as soon
as possible. The things you're doing are at the very least selfish, and at
the most a slap in the face to the creator of life.

How dare you to presume to do these things?

I beg to differ, this group is a cat lovers group, cats don't like rats,
well they do, but for dinner only. So I see no problem with his post.
Besides Charles is obviously new to usenet and could use some support. Your
help in this matter would be kind.

Is this buzzard retired military? If so, the local VA might be able to
help.

so you mean you really have a pet buzzard and that this is not a troll.

if indeed yoiu have a pet buzzard that is not eating perhaps you could
find some grellin ( the hormone that makes us hungry)
in the case that you cannot, perhaps the buzzard needs some thing dead
and smelly?
or even bloody?

might try mincing up a rat or something see if that helps.... maybe
kill one and cut it open.

pardon for sugjesting tha tyou do it to yourself, that was in jest when
I thought you were just trolling.

Hoep she feels better.
