The state law enforcement authorities, no doubt of ten or more varieties, recently busted a vicious dog fighting ring, located in the county just across the river. There were dog fighting connections all over the state and into other states too. I'm serious. The promoters had the usual dog fighting pit in a remote barn back in the woods, gambling of course, drinking, dope, women, lots of dogs of the pit bull type and other noted fighting types, and of all things, cats. These coaches and owners were the types who ran their dogs on treadmills to "get their stamina up". They used the cats as live bait to get the dogs excited and ready to fight.

THAT'S JUST WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The crats would be "treats" I've seen some of those dogs have tires for breakfast Clay

Kind of a cruel thing to do, gettin' those dogs and dog owners all fired up like that.... I really hate crats.

While visiting some relatives in Florida back in the 1950's the men decided to go gator fishing the next weekend. They started rounding up neighborhood cats which caused no great concern amoung the neighbors back then. Kept them in a old chicken coop in the back yard. They bagged them up Saturday evening and we went gator fishing. A bit of bailing wire would secure a cat to the home made large treble hook. Some more wire would be run to a large cane pole tip and then down the pole to a chain. Once out in the swamp, just dangle the cat from the pole on the surface of the water. The cats would raise a rukus when wet and attract a gator which would go for the cat and get caught on the treble hook. Then the fun would start as one of my cousins would try to bring in the gator. A lot of yelling and whiskey would help bring in the gator which usually got shot with a rusty 12 gauge single barrel shotgun. Blood, guts, and cat pieces everywhere. I think you cat lovers would have liked it. This may have qualified as an alternate use for cats also.

People all around me have as much fun as I would if I were there.
This never ceases to amaze me.
Ya reckon dudes like us are born and live in Iraq? More than we know.
Don't see an abundance of crats there.
Life is good,no matter what the new's says.
