Anybody that would advocate violent action against helpless and
innocent
animals is one sick puppy.

Actually, it's legally permitted, performed and tested in the courts
on
a
fairly regular basis. In many places, including what you'd consider
"normal
suburbs", animals which damage food crops may be killed as long as
the
method does not endanger neighbors or violate weapons laws. You
really
ought
to think before you hurl, boy.

Uh-huh. And you think that somebody's garden comes under the "food
crop"
definition and that you have the right to kill your neighbor's pets
for
a
damaged tomato plant?

I repeat. You are one sick puppy.

Actually, Henry, a garden *does* fall under that definition. These laws
were
almost eliminated as farms began to vanish, but in many places, they
were
kept intact because of the victory garden movement during World War II.
The
current legal argument is that flowers have no intrinsic value unless
they're raised by a commercial grower. But, food *does* have value to
anyone
who grows it. Therefore, any food garden is defined as a farm.

Sorry to burst your bubble.....

Doug,
You don't have to go defensive over erroneous claims.
Henry has no more say over your property than you do over his.
Just smear his nose in his own **** and move on.



I'm simply helping him understand laws he is 100% unfamiliar with. The same
laws I've become 100% familiar with in order to enjoy the simple pleasure of
a vegetable garden in the midst of a few neighbors who don't care.
