With a gun...


BAINBRIDGE ISLAND, Wash. -- An animal shelter on Bainbridge Island is
seeing more and more animals arriving with gunshot wounds, and the
shelter's director says the disturbing trend needs to stop.

Caring citizens are finding the injured animals and bringing them to
the West Sound Wildlife Shelter. The facility's director, who has seen
so many of the gunshot wounds, said there's no excuse to shoot an
animal without a permit.

Workers at the shelter treat more than 1,000 animals each year. Their
goal is to get the critters back into the wild, but animals are being
dropped off with gunshot wounds.

"I guess people are just more impatient lately. For some reason
they're using a gun to solve all of their problems," said shelter
director Mike Pratt.

Pratt believes people in the area are using guns as a quick solution
for getting rid of animals they consider a nuisance. Last year he
treated more than 50 animals with gun shot wounds, compared to just
one or two in past years.

"These are not mistakes," he said. "These are deliberate, and it needs
to stop."

Pratt said the shooters are using all types of firearms, from pellet
guns to shotguns. And he said the shootings are happening throughout
the region.


That's right folks, you can solve all your problems with a gun. How
many suicides will be facilitated this year with a gun? About 17,000
if I remember correctly. Varmints ain't the only thing we can take
out with a gun.

Too bad they still don't teach marksmanship in school, would avoid a lot
of aggravation and hysteria... and probably help eliminate the crims
with guns too.

Well, well, well, what a surprise. SnottyLittle**** advocates shooting
animals in the wild because...they're a nuisance.

You'd soil your lace panties if a real criminal confronted you in the dark.

How? You do realize that the overwhelming majority of gun crimes are
committed with guns that were either borrowed or stolen from legal
owners, or the legal owners themselves don't you?

No, it was the great Harry Krause who said he carries guns into the
wilds of western Virginia in the event that he encounters a feral dog.

There's a side to this story that's not being told. Obviously these
dogs had either been abandoned by their owners or allowed to run loose
in the wild. Either way it's a bad thing. Dogs running loose in
the wild revert to their natural instincts and form hunting packs
which prey upon wildlife and sometimes humans. Shooting is probably
the appropriate cure, and is sometime conducted by DNR officers if
caught hunting in packs or acting agressively. The real crime here is
that they were obviously shot with an inappropriate weapon or by
someone with a bad aim.

I'd guess that many if not most of these dogs end up being euthanized
by the animal shelter people.

What a quote!

Ain't it the truth! Just look at Chicago. I wish they'd just go take away all the guns from the drug
dealers and gangs. Or, at least make them take a psychiatric evaluation, pass high school
equivalency exams, and present at least two ID's for a license to own their guns.

Hell, they could even get a voter registration card to use as one of the ID's!

And what has caused this sudden onslaught of wild dogs? Bainbridge
Island is not a Tennessee hollow with trailers scattering the
landscape. It's an upscale bedroom community a ferry ride away from
downtown Seattle.

It's the legitimacy of guns being on the rise, along with our ever
shortening sense of patience in this country for things not going the
way we want.

Quick answers are real popular here in Merica.

Holy ****, if high school equivalency were necessary for gun
ownership, half the south would be unarmed.
