Anyone who would even think about messing with one of my animals, will be one sorry SOB. A couple years ago someone shot two of my emus. Just for the he'll of it. A male sitting on eggs,and a little female that I was nursing back to health. Broke my heart. Offered reward, never found out who did it. People drunk, shooting from the road. Sent from my iPad that my most awesome kids surprised me with, Christmas 2010.

Someone said they were going to come to my house for some practice shots. I told them I would shoot them the minute they tried t shoot my cats. Of course they said they were just "kidding" and I said that had better be the truth because if one of my cats nded up shot, I wold come looking for them and after I shot them I would sue them for all I could get. > > > ---- Natalie <[email protected]> wrote: >> I think it's as usual, protests from veterinarians (who have no >> business being vets) because it provides a good income! >> Why do Hunting groups object to spaying and neutering? >> Why is there a push by the government and supported by hunting >> groups, to eliminate all stray cats by trapping, bowhunting, firearm hunting????? >> >> -----Original Message----- >> From: [email protected] >> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of >> [email protected] >> Sent: Sunday, September 11, 2011 8:12 PM >> To: [email protected] >> Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Declawing - list of countries where it is illegal! >> >> I took a look at the list of countries that do not allow declawing. >> Why is the US always behind in this sort of issue? >> >> >> ---- Peggy Verdonck <[email protected]> wrote: >>> I'm from the Netherlands.
