Remember the a**holes who barbecued a live kitten in MO? Whether the cat had a home or not is irrelevant. It didn't deserve to be stuffed into a BBQ and poked at while it screamed in agony while a dozen onlookers cheered.
I have hated stray cats since I had one that scratched the top of my car a few years ago. There's nothing you can do about a stray cat that walks around on your car at night. So I bought a BB gun with a scope and picked his little a$$ off. Problem solved.

I wouldn't I go out of my way to torture a cat but I also don't slow down if one crosses my path.

Dog-fighting is illegal here just like it is all over the U.S. The South may be a bit behind the times socially but we are not barbarians.
I would think that you are responding to FX's post, CF, which is who I was responding to from his post about dogfighting being a "Southern Thang", coming from him. I certainly didn't bring that up.

We do have a choice. We can be compassionate and set better examples for our youth by discouraging animal abuse.

Animal Planet sure won't appreciate seeing or hearing that.

There are products you can apply to your car to repel cats. You can get a cheap car cover, too, for probably less than the gun. While I haven't had cat problems, we have had raccoons go after our koi. Not once did I think of killing them. I just wanted them to leave. So I spent a few nights cussing at them while squirting them with the highest pressure I could get out of my garden hose. They broke a few things in my yard and bagged four of our goldfish, incuding one of my favorites. We put wire fence "lids" on the ponds and used repellant. Problem solved. Now that we have the dog, he protects the yard and he has chased them off. They don't try for the fish anymore.

While we each solved our problems, the BB would have to be the last resort for me. The BB would be a little higher up on the list of problem solvers for my hubby, though.

I know that Hwy. I just want to make sure you know that FX is not speaking for The South when he voices his opinions.

I have lived here for my entire 50+ years and have only encountered 1 dogfighter and a handful of cockfighters in that time. And I used to work with the our local Humane Society. If dogfighting had a large presence around here then I would have known.
Right now America spends $700 billion every year on foreign oil. That's our money going overseas when it could be staying here. We have to stop this.
That's why I support the Pickens Plan. Check out the website at www.pickensplan.com. If you like what you see, please join me as a Pickens Plan supporter.

As I have spent a few summers in Alabama, I would have known if my godfather was in that cruel business as well.

We allow a lot of stuff to go on that would do more damage to our youth than dog fighting. Have you seen what porn has stooped to lately. Heck, I stopped watching it. There's a lot bigger chance someones daughter is gonna happen across a porn site than a dog fight.
