I think some compensation here is in order although I cannot set an amount for a 19 year old cat named Tobey. I guess the funeral and burial expenses plus emotional suffering of the family. This cat met his Death Panel and they wore blue uniforms!

..and to THINK that we get into raging arguments over abortion. So now killing a cat is MURDER??......


OK....if you say so. (I suppose Colonel Sanders was guilty of 'Poultry Genocide"? He killed innocent chickens on a vast scale, I've heard)...

This post is probably not serious, but look at this

Mayor wants federal probe after SWAT raids house, kills dogs - CNN.com

TheStar.com | World | Md. mayor's dogs shot dead in botched police raid

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berwyn_Heights_drug_raid

This is something both liberals and conservatives can agree on. The police burst into this man's house, shot and killed his two PUPPIES. I was in tears when I heard this happen. The government has just gotten out of control. They barge into people's houses, start shooting, then ask questions later.

It was a sting, because a package had been delivered to the mayor's house BY ACCIDENT. It was not intended for the mayor or his wife. This was a mistake on the police department's part.

It isn't government, it is the police who, too often, operate without any regard for democratic control.

It was the conservatives that wanted "the war on drugs" but everytime a conservative is the victim of the war on drugs or the war on working class people, the conservatives gripe. Cannot have it both ways.

My daughter killed our neighbor's cat when she was 5 years old. She thought it would be a good idea to tie a rope around it's neck and drag it up into the tree house.


This means she's gonna grow up to be a cop. Damn....
