Then there's this moron.



Personally, if I were the cop, I would have blown out the window to save the dog. As well as had the ASPCA on the way to ticket her @$$ for animal cruelty.

I have a friend who is a total activist when it comes to animals. Shes an ASPCA worker, so I call her anytime I see something horrible.
Around here in horse country, a common horrible thing to see is horses/cows on crappy little dirt lots starving away with the redneck owners happily drinking natty lite on the trailer porch talkin about the day they'll be able to afford a new yamaha four wheeler. These people keep x amount of animals on their property for tax purposes usually. I think they have kids for similar reasons, or just for fun.
The neighboring property where my bus is stored has over 20 horses and cows on it and its about 8 acres. Their ribcages are all visible. The police came and supposedly took care of it three weeks ago, but nothing has changed. SO MANY horses are suffering in this way. Starvation is the cruelest form of abuse/neglect.

in my high school days, I kept a spring loaded center punch in my driver's door recessed door handle






Now, I keep a safety hammer on a velcro loop on my driver's door handle, and kept 3 in the limo.


I've seen videos of these spring loaded models that work well


I was the 3rd person to stop at an accident about 18 months ago...
Lady hit a tree on driver's side, she was alert and car was not smoking, so I took my triangle reflectors and placed them up the road (curve) and came back to her car.

When I got back, city police were just getting there. I watched the officer take his baton and hit her passenger at least 6 times to break it. Looked pretty radical!!!

he finally broke it, sending glass flying.
Someone had reached in from driver's BACK door and placed a towel over the lady, her driver's door was jammed against the tree.

I know the spring loaded glass breakers just shatter the glass, leaving it intact, then you push it out.
It just surprised me that an officer doesn't have a glass breaker/seatbelt cutter on his tool belt.

I've got a co-worker that's president of the animal shelter here.... she's on speed dial, and it works!

Maintaining animals PROPERLY is expensive, and there's a lot of people out there that just don't care.

didn't get to edit my previous post in time, but here's a pic from that accident

she was coming from opposite direction and basically hit 2 trees

That was the day I got to see one of Arkansas State Trooper's Stealth Cruisers (plain on driver's side, decaled on passenger side)

those are also good to use on the stupid, hitting those who cause the stress is far more effective than hitting the gym!

And then there's this guy who lured, wounded, and then finished off a collared lion that was on a Zimbabwe conservation preserve- American Dentist Killed Zimbabwe’s Famous Lion.

I've no problem with hunters who do so to fill out their larder. But hunting down majestic animals like lions just for their skin? I do hope he gets extradited. And the response of the internet can be a good thing- The dentist who reportedly killed Cecil the lion is getting absolutely destroyed on Yelp

Reminds me of the woman who recently paid BIG bucks to go kill a rhino.
If I had my way, she'd clean it and eat it. ALL of it.

My former bosses at Tuckers Machine and Steel in Leesburg FL go on "bird hunting" expeditions in Argentina and South America. In these events, they load up on trucks and go out blasting birds (Pigeons I think). Charles Tucker once told us how on one trip he WORE OUT a brand new Remington 1100... Now all they use are Benelli. They brag about killing literally hundred of thousands of birds on a single outing.
Again- they should be eating ALL of this of not shooting it.

Ever seen domestic sanctioned Pigeon hunts? They put live birds in a box and use them just like clay pigeons.

A few days ago, a man heard his high school age son say that he wanted to commit suicide. The father put a loaded hand gun on his bed and left for work. The son left behind a sister. It didn't even make the news. We know the family.

So...instead of listening to that plea for help, the father assisted. Why are people so stupid?

I recently heard about this... I think a few news outlets touched on it...
I HATE this kind of story.
I remember growing up how aggressive and overly mean some dad were to their sons. A kid I played T-ball with got BEAT hard by his dad if he struck out in a game.
What the overbearing dads of the world fail to realize is that their behavior is usually bringing about the opposite reaction they are seeking.

Haven't gotten to follow your links yet, but this is not a good man....
I followed this story pretty intently yesterday.

They're digging into his history and he's had several legal problems including sexual harassment at his dental practice and illegally tagging a bear shot out of boundary area in 2008.
So far his dental practice is closed, his facebook page is pulled, yelp is editing his comment section, and all his calls are being referred to outside sources.
The hunters tried to destroy Cecil's tracking collar, and have arrested the guides.

One thing that infuriates me is that Cecil was wounded and tracked for 40 hours, then shot with a rifle.

This man is not a hunter, he is an opportunist with money. He's trying to say he did not know this was a well-known and popular lion... to me it doesn't matter whether Cecil was popular and well liked. The whole hunt situation is the problem! killing a baited animal for thrills?

I don't even like the idea of feeding deer before season.
You're capitalizing on an animals natural instinct to forage for food.

And the lady in Texas, she's one messed up person herself. She's trying to justify that she's helping the Rhino population... Pretty sure she's on borrowed time to. A lot of people are upset over that one!

I hope Walter Palmer serves jail time and loses his dental practice.




And I want to look him straight in the eye and I want to tell him what a cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat-ass, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey **** he is! Hallelujah! Holy ****! Where's the Tylenol?

A police agency not far from here lost a K-9 a couple of summers ago this way. The officer went into a building to answer a call, and while he was inside handling it the engine on his SUV quit and cut off the A/C . . .

Just sayin . . .

Tell us how you really feel.
If he is a dog-kisser, he can't be all bad.
