		<description>Xavier;

The needle thing is too expensive, do the right thing and use it for target practice.  

But at least give it a 10 foot head start.

ps; don&#039;t use hollow points, they kill too quickly</description>

		<description>Looks like Eric&#039;s a card-carrying PeTA freak. Can&#039;t capitalize the &#039;e&#039; in PeTA - because ethics is one thing they DON&#039;T have! Their motto is &quot;better dead than fed&quot;! 97% kill rate. Now coming soon to the Dallas shelter system. Way to go guys.</description>

		<description>1. DM, I couldn&#039;t love you harder.

2. JJ has been drawn offsides by, like, four hard counts. Unabated to the quarterback.

3. Angela Hunt makes her case in a post today. Let&#039;s move the conversation there. It&#039;s a good one to have.</description>

		<description>Dallasite.

Okay, I get it.  This cat is evil.  It threw up on the owners carpet.  If it were not for some level of compassion coming from somewhere why would the fucking cat be in the house for 12 years?  

Why someone would keep something so evil for 12 years is beyond me.  So Xavier, kill the fucking cat if you want to.  If it makes you and Eric to talk about it, it will make you feel 20 times better to kill it.  

I was just trying to point out an option.  That is all. Jesus Christ, who is the fucking pussy here?</description>

		<description>Jack,

&lt;I&gt;&quot;It is not a lame decision. Some folks might consider it lame that a cat who has given your family unconditional love for 12 years is going to be put to death for throwing up on your carpet.&quot;&lt;/I&gt;

Ummmm, you know he&#039;s talking about a cat, right?  &lt;I&gt;Unconditional&lt;/I&gt; may be pushing it a bit.  Hell, &lt;I&gt;love&lt;/I&gt; is probably too much to expect.  12 years of coldhearted indifference would be a more appropriate description.

Don&#039;t kid yourself, that cat would put you to sleep for lesser reasons.</description>

		<description>1) If Dallas allows dogs on patios at restaurants, but doesn&#039;t allow smoking in restaurants, will dogs be allowed to smoke on the patios of restaurants?</description>

		<description>Eric..I don&#039;t know what point you are trying to make in your 1. comment above.
Pet lovers agree that pets should be kept safe from harm and from harming others.  What dangerous animals are you talking about being fined for?  This is news to me.
Can you point it out or give us a link to this.  

People shoule be educated to know that purchasing a pet, even at the pound, the costs do not stop there. Animals, like humans get sick.  They are taken to a vet and taken care of.  

Xavier, taking your cat to an no kill animal shelter will not be a burden to them.  These places get a lot of financial help from other animal lovers for just such a thing.  Please don&#039;t put your cat down just because it threw up on your carpet.  A vet could take care of that, but you seem so put out by it that you want to have it put down.  Why not take the option. 

Look Eric thinks everyone is silly, so I wouldn&#039;t give that a bit of worry.  It helps him feel macho and part of the boys club to bash animals and animal lovers.  We are all a bunch of wusses to him, even if we take awesome care of our pets.  

Anyway, give Operation Kindness a call and if they request a donation to take the cat in, and you don&#039;t want to fork it out, have them get in touch with me.  Please make sure that your wife is okay with this.

		<description>I just may have the Dallas City Council pass a law restricting Eric from referring to me as silly.</description>

		<description>i&#039;m with ya X-Man...i love dogs (hate cats, but that&#039;s for a different thread and i&#039;m not against others owning cats) but the reality is my beloved The Chunk, Chunker, His Chunkness or El Chunkerino, if you&#039;re not...is still just a pet/guest in my home and a very expensive one at that 

recent trip to the vet to find out why he&#039;s been so lethargic of late showed he&#039;s diabetic, anemic and has a thyroid condition

all of which is gonna mean medicating him daily for the rest of his life, which will no doubt be another 10 years...but it&#039;ll be worth every penny because of the joy he brings my family 

still when the time comes that i as a (somewhat) rational adult human being see that my canine&#039;s quality of life has deteriorated to a point where it&#039;s no longer fun for any of us, i&#039;ll put him down

and i hope all of you can do the same for your pets...it&#039;s humane and best for all parties involved

but what do i know?</description>

		<description>To publicnewssense and JJ and others of a similar ilk:  I hope my kids have enough strength to do so when the time comes; it was tough for us with my grandmother.  But fair point on the no kill animal shelter, though it really just makes it their problem and not mine, which seems like a lame decision.</description>
