    Yes, I contemplated suggesting PETA, far more likely to result in visits from angry, butch she-males as opposed to letters from concerned retirees.

      We're not interested in your sado masochistic fantasies. If you want to be cruel to animals, just go and jerk off about it elsewhere. Or perhaps post about it on the SPCA forums, providing your full name and address details.

      You're a fool. And you're dishonest (that's a redundancy, of course) ... *refusing* to pay attention before you get up on your silly moral high-horse is dishonest. And especially when that silly moral high-horse is about an animal. I let the opossum go; I don't have anything against 'possums, since they don't destroy my property. They're ugly, but so are you; that's no reason to kill either them or you. Furthermore, I don't have anything against skunks (other than the fact that they are what they are, and so I want them far away from me). The ISSUE was about getting near the skunk. If skunks didn't engage in chemical warfare, I'd have let the poor fellow go at once. Skunks (and other critters) do dig around in the yard, but so far the mess and disturbance has been tolerable. It's only raccoons, and to a lesser extent, fuzzy-tailed tree-rats, that I want to kill. edit: ... and groundhogs/woodchucks.

        You're too stupid to know that dishonesty and stupidity are not synonymous. Funny, you're also dishonest. I guess that's where the confusion sneaks in.

            Assuming that definition, it is still not about dishonesty. Which makes you a fool, AND stupid.

              'Possums are one of the ugliest animals in the Americas, but they're kind of cute when they're about the size of a kitten (if you can ignore that ratty-looking tail). There was a baby opposum in my trap yesterday. Wanna guess what I did with him?

                        Ah, you see he is the result of in-breeding leading to six-fingered dwarfism, and chose Gollum as his role model.

                                  Google to the rescue ... but it's doubtless fitting that *you* knew about that alleged practice, and that you so immediately thought to project it onto others. And I'll bet the idea of a marsupial pouch really gets you going.

                                      Did you ever notice how the "Davey Crockett" "coon skin caps" have a nice full/fuzzy tail? Well, the raccoons I've disposed of sure didn't have such luxurious tails. Hmmm .... I wonder .... is that apparent change due to "evolution" in real-time? Hey, Fountleroy, what's up with this? :laugh:
