She's concerned..... you're pathetic! You should be honoured LP takes even
a fleeting interest.

I bet you could feed a whole village for 5 years with the money you spent to
buy that Bendytoe. You pseudo liberals make me sick!

In other words, is three minutes of suffering for a dumb pet worth two
years of life for a human??

It costs $15.00 to put down a dog or cat. Or the price of a .22 shell (if
you are able to do it...)


$15.00 is very cheap, compared to what our thieving vers charge!


My question must be re-phrased, thusly " In other words, is three minutes
of
suffering for a dumb pet worth 15 weeks of life for a human"?

I already know what Simon's answer will be! He's a sick, and twisted,
individual who is incapable of seeing the simple truth when it stares him
in
the face!

Did you include the cost to the cow?

Got news for you....even though we are sapient and have cognitive
reasoning, we are animals. We are primates of the genus homo and
species sapien. Some people prefer to ignore that fact, but it is a fact.

As someone who has been involved with a particular rescue organization
for a particular breed of dog, I have to agree with Neal's basic premise
that too many people consider pets to be some form of disposable toy,
rather than a long term responsibility.
However, having also been involved with the necessity of putting an
animal "down" more than once, with the attendant worry that it was the
right thing to do at the right time, I did not get the sense that the
"Navigator" took his decision lightly, nor does he need to explain his
reasons to those of us not there and/or familiar with the situation that
existed, at the time ..... nuff said.

So far there has been precious little evidence coming
from you that I was wrong. Why, you won't even
put a name to this horrible and painful disease you
say your kitten suffered from. The conclusions I
draw come from the words you wrote. Try writing
something more informative and I might consider
apologizing for being too harsh on you.

I attacked you more out of a desire to point out
pets are a very great responsiblilty not to be assumed
lightly. They represent an obligation not to be dismissed
easily. I felt you were an example of rather callous
behavior regarding pets that is epidemic these days.
I suppose it's useless to expect even one person
to agree with me these days but I have to try at least.

I frankly shocked that you can be so ugly and unjust. With no facts you
act as judge jury and executioner -perhaps you want to punish me for
disparaging comments on your new sails? Pathetic.

The Navigator's Lament

I had a kitten and I loved her so much
She was playful and gentle and so nice to touch.
But alas she went blind
And in my warped mind
A handicapped cat might never survive
And I fancied her better off dead than alive.
So I KILLED her . . .



S.Simon - loves animals

I didn't buy it for no stinking cow, I bought it for myself. I paid for it.
It cost ME $5.67.

One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The
: animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried
: to figure out what to do. Finally, he decided the
: animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up
: anyway; it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the
: donkey. He invited all his neighbors to come over and
: help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to
: shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey
: realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then,
: to everyone's amazement he quieted down. A few ! shovel
: loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well.
: He was astonished at what he saw. With each shovel of
: dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something
: amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up. As
: the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top
: of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step
: up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey
: stepped up over the edge of the well and happily
: trotted off!
:
: Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of
: dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to shake
: it off and take a step up.! Each of our troubles is a
: stepping- stone. We can get out of the deepest wells
: just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off
: and take a step up.
:
:
:
:
: Enough of that crap . . .
:
: The donkey later came back and bit the the
: farmer who had tried to bury him. The gash from the
: bite got infected, and the farmer eventually died in
: agony from septic shock.

You should have seen it in the fifties. On certain occasions, farmers and
ranchers would load up in pickups and go rabbit hunting. Imagine 20 to
thirty pickups: 2 shooters with .22's in the back,a driver and a spotter in
the cab. The pickups spread out in a line about 100 yards apart and all
move forward together at about 5 miles an hour. Headlights on high beam.
As the rabbits run and are picked up by the headlights, they freeze and the
shooters would kill them. The spotter used the spot light to freeze those
running outside the light. Many a night 300 to 1,000 rabbits were killed.
They were left where they fell and the foxes, coyotes and vultures had a
feast.

I drove out to Jacksboro, TX yesterday and was amazed
at the dead animals on the highway. In a hundred miles I counted 2 dead
skunks, 3 dead possums, 1 dead dog and 3 dead but unidentifiable.

When we drove through OK and the TX panhandle we saw hundreds of dead
jackrabbits...coudln't believe there could be so many dead animals on the
road...
