Land of Oz

Urban Jungle

Again. Yes, for all you animal lovers, I'm back to trapping cats in the backyard again. There haven't been as many this year, but so far, one cat has fallen to the trap. This was a nasty, nasty black cat. Both ears were just about gone, and good god, what a stench. I got within about 8 feet of the cage and he hissed and growled and carried on. Honestly, he made me wary of him even inside the cage. I cut some cardboard and wrapped it around the cage until I could get him to animal control. And of course this poor cat is being fed by some of our idiot neighbors. There's no way on earth anyone can convince me this beat-up, torn-up, sick ol' cat was better off alive than dead. I just wish its original owners could be held accountable.

And an update on some of my pet loving neighbors. One of them got tossed from their rental house after not paying the rent. Actually, I'm guessing this was the reason, based on the fact their electricity was turned off due to non-payment. Anyway, they left their whining little dog behind after they packed up and left. My understanding was that another neighbor called the landlord, who inturn called the mother-in-law of the sterling renters, who came to pick up the abandoned pup.

These stupid people who scarf up pets, give them less thought than they do to a pile of rags, just plain suck. You get this idiots who move into a home and figure that grants them the right to keep some animal chained up in their yard. Why? They don't play with them, or spend time with them, or even treat them any better than a rock. Why don't they just buy a brick and keep it chained to the garage. Then, every now and then, they can kick the brick and put some stale water in front of it. Or better yet, how about chaining themselves to their wall and spending the day sitting in the hot sun on the hot dirt. And people who know me wonder why I dislike people.
