  2. I don’t think so, if I have to catch that horrible creature.

    I will leave it to the professionals and pay the going rate for my treat!http://falfn.com/CrusaderRabbit/wp-content/plugins/wp-monalisa/icons/wpml_good.gif

    • Like catching snakes I suppose. Do it right and you’re fairly safe.

      The shrimp in this case has a “punch” that has been measured to carry the same energy as a low velocity .22lr round.

      I recently read a fiction novel called “Fragment” which went into some detail on the subject. They’re pretty amazing creatures really.
