With a gun...





BAINBRIDGE ISLAND, Wash. -- An animal shelter on Bainbridge Island is

seeing more and more animals arriving with gunshot wounds, and the

shelter's director says the disturbing trend needs to stop.



Caring citizens are finding the injured animals and bringing them to

the West Sound Wildlife Shelter. The facility's director, who has seen

so many of the gunshot wounds, said there's no excuse to shoot an

animal without a permit.



Workers at the shelter treat more than 1,000 animals each year. Their

goal is to get the critters back into the wild, but animals are being

dropped off with gunshot wounds.



"I guess people are just more impatient lately. For some reason

they're using a gun to solve all of their problems," said shelter

director Mike Pratt.



Pratt believes people in the area are using guns as a quick solution

for getting rid of animals they consider a nuisance. Last year he

treated more than 50 animals with gun shot wounds, compared to just

one or two in past years.



"These are not mistakes," he said. "These are deliberate, and it needs

to stop."



Pratt said the shooters are using all types of firearms, from pellet

guns to shotguns. And he said the shootings are happening throughout

the region.





That's right folks, you can solve all your problems with a gun. How

many suicides will be facilitated this year with a gun? About 17,000

if I remember correctly. Varmints ain't the only thing we can take

out with a gun.





Too bad they still don't teach marksmanship in school, would avoid a lot

of aggravation and hysteria... and probably help eliminate the crims

with guns too.

You'd soil your lace panties if a real criminal confronted you in the dark.
