Nonsense. The boat was free! I got a much better deal than Bobsprit ever
managed!

I would have grabbed it in a towel, administered a good slug of rum,
sewed up the wound and slavered it with alum and Neosporin.

Then I would have put the little critter in a dark box and given it some
water and maybe a tender carrot. I would have checked it the next
day and let it go if it looked well enough.

This is how a human being operates. I live by the credo, "If you cannot
give life don't hasten to take life."

Oh shut up, you sniveling, bleeding-heart, liberal fool!

If you could read you'd know that's NOT what I wrote.


You said that they should be treated "as humanely as possible".

I strongly disagree. Pets are NOT human, and we should not confuse them
with humanity.


Far too many city dwellers ascribe human emotions to animals. They think
that an animal with a brain the size of a pea is capable of the same degree
of "awareness" as a human. This is rubbish!

Apes and elephants are the only other species that display any recognition
of the concept of "death". There is no evidence whatsoever to suggest
that any other species has any feelings on the matter at all.



I wrote it's the pet owner's personal responsiblity to kill his
pet if the pet is severely injured and in pain and has no
chance to live through its injuries.


You said that the pet should be treated "humanely". You are incapable of
realising that your pet cat only tolerates your company because you are a
source of food. If you don't believe me, then don't feed the cat for a
week. He/she will soon return to its feral state, and spit at you whenever
you come within spitting distance.

You are beginning to sound like a complete pansy.

I would have whacked it with the back of a shovel, and prepared it for the
oven.

Don't you know how good rabbit tastes?

Rabbit in garlic sauce is delicious!

Donal - who knows how good rabbit tastes.

You don't even have to stop feed them. One of our cats was feral, she's been
"domesticated", if we let her sneak out she'll often bring home her kill for
the evening and leave it on the front porch. When she was a kitten she got a
hold of a large bunny, the thing was screaming as she dragged it along by
the neck, she only turned it loose when my wife startled her by yelling at
her. Last year the alpha male corgi got a hold of a newborn rabbit and
practically swallowed it whole. All of these animals are well-fed. I think
most cats and dogs have bonds with their owners that go a little beyond
being a source of food.

sewed up the wound=20

Half its' head was sliced off...the only kind thing to do was to kill =
it. even if it could have survived, it would have been partially blind =
and the smell of blood on it would have made it someone's dinner much =
sooner than later...

I would have had it for dinner. They taste better than chicken.

I don't spend my money on food. I spend most of my money
on women, porn, booze, and recreation. The rest of it I just waste.
