Wavy, Most biologists would say "You did not sin, my son, for you have slain an exotic. The promised land (Texas) should not welcome the beasts of the field, nor the fish of the sea, nor even the birds of the air if they are not native Texans, yea, though they may be cute and appealing."
Personally, I draw the line at nutria rats and Chinese tallow trees. Roger In a message dated 07/09/08 21:59:18 Central Daylight Time, [email protected] writes: He never had a chance. Not even enough time to try to sell me insurance. I was sprinting up the concrete stairs on my way to get in my car - I didnt even see him. Crushed by my Tevas This unfortunate tiny creature. Only 2 1/2 inches long - broken - some parts flattened - he didn't even know what hit him. Nearly unrecognizable and faultless. He never did anyone any sin. With some glee I'd kill a roach twice his size. But this is different. A tiny little critter with a skeleton, reptile eyes and a brain. No scurrying. No infant insect eating. No more. -WaV
