I got your cat hunt right here!!
catatude
Hundreds showed up at Wisconsin Conservation Congress meetings around Wisconsin on Monday, many to voice their opinion on a proposal to allow hunting of free-roaming cats.
Now I am no PETA activist, and I am sure that a large number of strays can be a problem. But this does not sound like the best way to go about fixing it. I would be willing to bet that any number of volunteers would assist in rounding up the cats and giving them the proper adoption period before being destroyed.
I think a “cat hunt” would just feed the perception many already have that cats should be mistreated if you don’t like them. I love my little kitters as one of the family.
So be warned Wisconsinites, if you come looking in Nebraska for a cat hunt, you may just find one seriously strapped kitty who's sites may be on you!
Alien Crossing
caution ?
A sign warning motorists about pedestrians running across the highway is posted by the side of the highway at the U.S./Mexican border near San Diego.
At the risk of being insensitive, let me make two points:
1) First of all, if you place yourself in danger while committing an illegal act, you deserve no warning signs for protection. For Deere I understand, people are supposed to know better.
2) Is it just me, or does the “family fleeing persecution” look like they just jumped out of a Dick and Jane book? Why not make the “pedestrians” look less like U.S. citizens and more like the illegal aliens that they are?
I wanted to also take a moment and throw my support and admiration for the MinuteMan Project.
Organizers of the MinuteMan project say the U.S. government has failed to stem the flow of migrants across its 2,000-mile southern border, where about a million undocumented immigrants are caught each year, almost half coming through Arizona.
More than a million are thought to get through undetected.
Volunteers from at least 29 states plan to camp out in April on ranches and public land to spot and report illegal immigrants to the U.S. Border Patrol.
No matter what the nationality, those who enter the United States in a criminal fashion and violate our borders, leave a gateway for potential terrorist activity.
