So Mad Can't See (Update 09/10; Victory!)

Does it make me a bad person if I say that I wouldn't feel 1/100th as bad if you gave Anti-Freeze to the woman and her live-in?

Osc

Of course not. I would throw a party. Humans = the biggest animal menace on the planet.

Please don't sell animals to labs. I know there is protocol for lab animal welfare, but it's such ugly business that a quick death is preferable.

I'm pretty sure we have black bears in Wisconsin too, just not in Madison

Yup...there's actually a bear-hunting season in Wisconsin, but pretty much all of 'em are way up north, in the woods.

Wisconsin joke:
Q: How do you keep bears out of your backyard?
A: Put up goalposts.

5 - On a lighter, fantasy note -- I've got a dog that comes with a no-cat-comes-back guarantee (my cats survive by moving slow -- really.)

We had a dog like that around here for a brief time, got after one of my cats.

I informed my nieghbor that I would do to his dog what his dog did to my cats. Quickly he broke his dog of chasing cats. I think he realized something about my seriousness in the matter.

Moderator's Notes
I just want to remind folks that this can't get into a discussion of the merits of animal welfare, animal rights, or other political positions. Discussing the law as it stands is fine, and discussing individual cases is fine (within limits), but I can say from long experience that if this gets into a discussion of the merits of different attitudes toward animals, it's gonna get emotional fast .

What if he sells the neighbor to a lab?

3) I'm pretty surprised that the odor from five cats' droppings would be so strong that the animal control person would need to wear a mask. That sounds to me as though her entire house might be full of cats, the classic animal hoarder type. Are you certain it's this few animals, or are you judging by the animals you see?

3 Months worth of Cat's Eating the Cheapest Dry Food Available
+
2 Months of 100+ Degree Heat.
+
1 Day of Rain
+ Right Back to the Heat Wave.

AC CHOOSE to wear a mask. She might not of HAD to, but she had one & choose to wear it for her comfort.

A little bit of an update.

The Boys in Blue have now been called in.

Really.

If you remember, I mentioned that we live next door to a Spinster woman (in her 60's I think). She's lived in the town her entire life and does a lot of charity and volunteer work. She's very nice, but a little.... ummm... Eccentric.

She's been removing the cat doody from her flowerbeds every morning this entire time. The cat's have now taken to leaving their little stink piles under almost every window in her house.

She lacks Central AC.

She called the Cops. (not 911, thank God, just the Police Department). She knows all of them by name (part of her volunteer work is for most of the police functions). She gave them a 'Stern Talking To' (As she has known some of them since Grade School this was more effective than if I had tried it).

So. Now we are getting 2 traps set out.

(At present our Nieghbor will not be recieving an Protective Services for her flower beds).

I suppose this depends on where the cat is. I have a fenced in yard, and were a cat dumb enough to enter it when my dog were present, I would enjoy watching that cat be chased out of my yard. My dog doesn't ever even try to jump the fence (she isn't a jumper), so it would end at that. If some neighbor dared to complain that my dog had chased their cat, I would either laugh in their face, or maybe use more choice words about where there cats should be.

Ed: "Hey Murray, pass me the donuts."
Murray: "Eh, sure. There's only one left."
E: "Man, I hate stakeout work."
M: "Me too...wait, what's that?! Over there, in the flowerbed!!"
E:"Oh, crap! Dispatch, we've got a 10-29h situation on our hands! Send in all units; repeat, send in all units!"
M: "Oh no...oh no...the HUMANITY! I think I'm gonna...be...BROWLLLFFF"

Those of us old enough to remember CB radios would suggest that it's actually a 10-100 situation.

He kinda implied the same thing- <shrug> "dog gon-it, Dave." I think that was what got him when he realized I would hold him responsible for anything and everything that happened to my son or my daughter.

Even once got a guy fired for targeting cats on his way to work. Saw him swerve to hit a cat, he misssed. We talked later about it, the boss heard and the boss fired him, it was a couple days later that the boss told me why. That was cool, to bad the jerk couldn't be told but hay thems the breaks.

Peace, all.
