Looks as if she could last several more weeks locked up without food than the dog could. | |||

So.... Let me get this straight: she left the dog for 6 days and in that time it starved to death and decomposed enough to stink so bad that she could not enter the house? Give me a break! There is more to this story than the garbage in the article. Any decomposed animal looks emaciated but that does not mean that the dog starved. The animal rights people are fools with a complete lack of critical thinking skills. This reminds me of one of my "nutter" facebook friend who wanted people to sign a petition to investigate a woman for skinning he pet goat while it was still alive. Of course there was a photo of a woman with a skinned goat. What the nutters did not notice was that it was a dead goat that had had its neck slit.

Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt. Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry Selby's flat bed truck delayed the safari, Horn of the Hunter would have read like an indictment of Selby. But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure. -Jason Brown | |||

Horrid. Hope they lock her in a cell and don't feed her. But from looking at her, I suspect it would take a lot longer than 6 days for her to starve to death. Yes, that was cruel, and meant to be. | |||

I remember a Paul Harvey show years ago at noon like always that told about someone dropping off a dog on the roadside + the dog waited for days to be picked up in the same spot. Paul's comment was "Why?" Why was the dog dropped or why did the dog wait?My opinion was of the latter. That is their nature so for someone to torment a creature that is totally in your service in their mind is on beyond criminal.There are a lot of evil people out there.Actually much more than mad dogs.......BTW,as to the heading;do we need any? Never mistake motion for action. | |||

Years ago I saw a comic strip "Frank + Ernest",in which they are standing in the D.C. Library Of Law + looking down the miles of bookshelves of law books + the one says to the other,"Just think,this all started with ten commandments." Never mistake motion for action. | |||

For all those who lament the very existence of lawyers. We exist for a very good reason -- Human Nature -- and you, and we (including me), are all guilty to one degree or another. If all people were totally good, you might not need lawyers. If all the grandkids agreed that grandpa's final wishes should be honored even if he left all his money to the church, or to his 20 year old mistress, instead of his disobedient, ungrateful descendants, we might not need lawyers. If every spouse honored their vows, supported their family and their children, we might not need lawyers. If the laws were clear because the legislatures and Congress could figure out how to write a coherent sentence and limit a law to a paragraph, you might not need lawyers. If the government was always fair and honest, and law enforcement was only interested in protecting the citizens and not necessarily if that resulted in a conviction, you might not need lawyers. If we had no concerns that the government might overstep its Constitutional bounds, we might not need lawyers. If people weren't continually trying to blame people for things that were their own fault and thereby profit at someone else's expense, you might not need lawyers. If plaintiffs, and their lawyers, were not trying to inflate their alleged damages even when a defendant doesn't even argue that it isn't at fault, you might not need lawyers. If people didn't keep trying to get things to which they were not entitled, you might not need lawyers. And, if you never wanted to do any business deal, you might not need lawyers. Frankly, if people were just completely honest, you might not need lawyers. I've always said, "noone likes a lawyer, until they need one." It's likely that we'll all need one at some point between cradle and grave -- or thereafter. Lawyers are necessary largely because human beings are self-interested, and many are either dishonest, or will rationalize a situation for their own best interest. The legal system is flawed, but it beats the alternative. Absent a civil justice system, people would result to self-help, and it would be the Old West. And then, you'd need lawyers to prosecute the guilty, defend the innocent, and sort out the estates. | |||

True. But, for every honest lawyer, there is 10,000 who are not. | |||

A whole bunch of that was meant tongue in cheek. But some......was not. I know and am friends with, hell even have a Brother that's a lawyer (we don't talk to him much at reunions and we all hide our wallets), but we all know that with out so many lawyers we wouldn't need so many lawyers. . | |||

The old saying is that one lawyer in a small town will starve to death, two lawyers will both make a good living, and 3 lawyers will all get rich. I can tell anyone that doesn't already know both from personal experience and from long observation of others that divorce lawyers, in MANY cases, do all they can to prolong the proceedings to increase their billable hours. OTOH, as Heinlein observed, people deserve the government they have and the same can be said for the legal profession. I agree with JTex that if you could simply kill people who are cheats, liars, frauds, and worse then the world would be a much better and more polite place and there would be many fewer lawyers......possibly because they would be killed (see above).  To be serious for a moment, I am sickened by the money and time spent to convict and often not kill or only kill them after many years of legal appeals such individuals as the shooter at Ft. Hood. I'm all for a fair trial, but there is ZERO doubt in many cases that the individual did it. Not that anyone gives a damn what I think but I think there should be 2 levels of capital cases, one where the physical evidence is overwhelming that a specific individual did it. In these cases there should be a fast track court system where, once convicted, there is one month for appeals (also fast tracked) and when the appeals filed in that period (if any) are ruled on negatively, then the sentence should be carried out immediately. The other cases, which would be any in which there might be the slightest doubt of guilt would proceed as now in our current court systems. xxxxxxxxxx When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members. If not, why support someone who doesn't support us? Consider spending your money elsewhere. NEVER, EVER book a hunt with BLAIR WORLDWIDE HUNTING or JEFF BLAIR. I have come to understand that in hunting, the goal is not the goal but the process. | |||

Agreed!!!!!!!!!! But it'll never happen. Lawyers are making the laws and that kind of thing would cut too many Lawyers out of fees! That's kind of like keeping criminals in jail! Can't do it. Not enough repeat clients for the lawyers! Damn Gato......we agreed on two things in the same thread. Frightening! . | |||

JTEX, You cracked me up. Thanks. | |||

Truly, my practice is centered on representing clients, not about the fee. If I took the other approach, I might be better off financially, but I couldn't sleep at night and it wouldn't be consistent with the reason I went into this profession. The profession has changed dramatically since I started and now is more of a business. Thankfully, I'm at the end of my career. I'll keep doing things the way I always have and fade into the sunset. | |||
