Campaign in New Zealand to outlaw cats.
@ Moe Katz:
Only because they can’t get rid of humans.
Yet.
@ Bumr50:
First they came for the cats….
@ Moe Katz:
…and then they will come for the dogs. Then Kiwiland will become the starting point for Planet of The Apes!
@ Moe Katz: Enviro-wacko-progressives want to commit a holocaust on all the innocent kitties.
The anti-human faction of humanity (the progressives, Islamists, …) also want to destroy the pets. Serial killers and mass-murderers often start out by torturing and slaughtering the neighborhood pets.
@ Moe Katz:
Yeah but they are so cute when they are killing stuff.
Really.
At any rate I got a soft comfortable mainly indoor cat who pretty much is the main occupant of the house I make the payments for and occasionally sleep in and serve her.
The only thing she kills are mice, rats, bugs, and cans of cat food. There is a big bullfrog that does not seem to have any toxic effect and is so big and slimy that all she can do is hold it in her mouth and wait at the door for me to let her in (never gonna happen). She has a bad hip and cannot jump or climb the fence or walls.
She is probably going to be the last one just because by the time she passes away I’ll be getting up there in age — we are about the same biolgical age (she’s 10~11 years old). But I would never contemplate doing away with her because of some environmentalist. We’ve been through too much.
What the hell is it about liberals wanting to kill everything anyway?
The Australian Army actually conducted an operation to hunt feral cats once, back in the ’90s.

Gun Buy back here in Seattle today as a first step into Gun Control. line of cars passing by 20 or so young 20 something males with handmade signs offering to buy the guns for more than the 100-200 dollars the city was offering. No women merchants. They could have scored.
@ darkwords:
How can they “buy back” something they never owned in the first place?
if a cat does not live at least half the time outdoors, it’s no good to me…cat s are made to climb, stalk and kill…to deny them that is to deny them their genetic legacy…cats are country pets
@ 12 lobo91: i was amused by all the capitalists that saw a gun buyback as an opportunity to make money. set up shop just outside.
@ 13 heysoos: Do cats ever get lost? I don’t think so. Lots of lost cat ads on telephone poles around here. I think cats are just capitalists at heart and can’t stomach the restrictions of a liberal household.
Cool and funny vid. Some of those cats lost a life.

That’s a pretty big Bobcat compared to the ones I’ve seen in the wild. Must be the better food a domesticated one might get.
I once saw an American Lynx in the wild, and posted about it at 1.0. But I was poo-pooed because of the location of where I saw it. Too far south they said. However I wasn’t the only one who saw it cross the path we were on maybe 20 yards away. It was unmistakeable what we saw.

@ heysoos:
I’ve spent a good part of my life camping, backpacking in the wilderness and mountain biking. I’ve seen almost everything there is to see and have pics of most of them. And I have pics of Bobcat in the wild. Unfortunately for the Lynx sighting we had no camera that day as we were mountain biking out in the boonies on a hiking trail. We were traversing a steep incline and the Lynx crossed into the trail(we were stopped for some reason, water intake maybe) stopped looked at us and slowly walked away and then down the lower side of the incline.
The best thing I ever saw were Condors. Talk about a huge bird.
In the first year I moved here I saw a Bald Eagle. I was biking along the Rio Grande just south of Montano and there it was scoping for a fish.

They tried it here in Tucson a few weeks ago. Sponsored by the one formerly Republican city council members. He pretty much showed his true colors when he excoriated the Republicans for daring to run someone to fill Gabby Giffords seat and then went to work for the democrat candidate. Anyway, he sponsored this buy-back program for anybody who had a gun in the house that was scared of it and wanted to get rid of it. He was offering $50 Safeway gift certificates. Tucson police would be on hand to check serial numbers to see if related to a crime. BTW, Safeway donated at least some of those gift certificates; Mrs. Federalist and I will not darken the doors of Safeway again. One of the local conservatives set up a table down the way from the buy-back dude and offered to buy any guns worth more than $50. He had FFL person on hand to make the transactions. One older woman brought a gun in and when she saw Antenori’s table, a bidding war started and she wound up getting over $200. She was overwhelmed, the only reason she had brought the gun in was that she really needed the money for food.
Buy back organizer was appalled that the conservatives were doing this; he called it making a mockery of his attempt to get those guns off the streets. Yeah, in that respect, he was pretty perceptive.

Most of the guns that are turned in during those events aren’t “on the street,” anyway. They come out of some old lady’s closet, where they’ve been sitting since her husband died 20 years ago.

The rabbi responds, “Yes, that is still one of our beliefs.”
The priest then asks, “Have you ever eaten pork?”
To which the rabbi replies, “Yes, on one occasion I did succumb To temptation and tasted a ham sandwich.”
The priest nodded in understanding and went on with his reading. A while later, the rabbi spoke up and asked the priest, “Father, is it still a requirement of your church that you remain celibate?”
The priest replied, “Yes, that is still very much a part of our faith.”
The rabbi then asked him, “Father, have you ever fallen to the temptations of the flesh?”
The priest replied, “Yes, rabbi, on one occasion I was weak and broke with my faith.”
The rabbi nodded understandingly. He was silent for about five minutes, and then he said,
“Beats the hell out of a ham sandwich, doesn’t it?”

Lobo,
I went to Cabelas in Glendale AZ this morning.
They got some 500 packs of Federal .22LR in and it was gone before I got there.
No .22LR, no 9mm, .38SPL, .357Mag, .40 S&W or .45ACP.
The only rifle caliber they had in quantity, other than the boutique hunting calibers like .270, .300WSM, etc. was some 7.62x39 and 7.62x54 in their “Herter’s” brand.
No 5.56mm, no .308/7.62mm NATO
I saw that. The guy is a clueless moron.

Throughout history, the LACK of babies has been considered to be a punishment. Many infertile couples today feel the same way.
The Bible is full of couples pleading to the Lord that they conceive a child, or that their ailing or deceased child be restored to them.

Too bad they don’t put pork in cat food.
Most cats LOVE ham.

I get your point but we Orthodox Christians fast from animal foods on Wednesdays and Fridays.
