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.



exactly the way you ran away when I confronted you, GUMBY.


You confronted me... and you're still able to talk about it???
Not likely jackass.
