Animal Cruelty

Considering how well the last few times I asked for advice on the huddle went, I figured hey.. Why not try it again?

Recently my neighbors got a cat that started coming over into my yard and would fight with my cat. They had the nerve to ask if we could make our cat an indoor cat so their cat could roam the neighborhood. Trying to be nice to neighbors we explained our cat has been an indoor and outdoor cat for 8 years and we can't make him become an indoor cat full time.

So, three days after this happened my cat got a terrible sore on his side. I couldn't really tell what it was but, after a while it healed up. Not even a week later he got another one, this one was not as severe as the first one. It's been about two weeks and today I see him licking his back/thigh area... I could see he had another sore. Guess what I find embedded in his skin? A god damn pellet. I'm so furious right now. These scumbags have been shooting my fuging cat for the past few weeks trying to kill them. Trying to kill someone's animal is so so SO crossing the line.

My question is. How do I go about handling this? My whole family is going over to their house tomorrow to talk to them about it. Should we just call the police instead? I have no idea how I should legally handle this to make sure it won't happen again. I can't have it happen again. I'm not going to let my cat get shot to death because their cat can't stay in his yard like mine does.

Are you sure they were the ones shooting your cat? Do you have evidence of it? The only reason I ask is that you'll want proof it was them, not just that they wanted your cat to stay inside.

No I'm not 100% sure but this is the only family on the block that doesn't know my cat.. I guess you could say we've had problems with this family before.

Nobody else owns an outdoor pet and I know for a fact they won a pellet gun.

If there are multiple witnesses to the entire "Can you turn your cat into an indoor cat..." conversation, there is at least the circumstantial involvement.

 

I would think that even the biggest dickhead cops would be somewhat empathetic toward a defenseless animal.

 

Personally? Let me catch someone or know someone is maliciously and purposefully hurting, harming or otherwise mistreating an animal and I would, without hesitation, sacrifice my personal freedom to ensure that it was stopped, that it would not happen again and that the proper retribution is taken. I would not hesitate to inflict pain upon the person. The stupid shall be punished.

My whole family was witnesses to them asking if we can turn our cat into an indoor cat. So that's 5 of us.. I live in such a nice neighborhood. It's sad to see it go to poo.

I can't believe in the modern world we live in someone would shoot a persons pet over something this simple..

Catch their cat and take it to the SPCA as a stray. Then burn their house down.

 

Yeah, probably don't want to do that...

Doctor in the town I recently moved from. I know the victim personally and was on the board of the Martinsville-Henry County SPCA when this went down. Dude actually drove the dogs to Roanoke (50 miles away) and turned them over to an animal shelter, said he found them alongside the road. The dogs were chipped and, contrary to whet was stated by the doctor, his intent was to have both dogs euthanized because he didn't get along with his neighbor.

 

If he wasn't a fairly well known doctor, he'd still be in jail.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By woahfraze · Posted

      Why are you so fixated on yards? Even if yards were a good judge of QB play, his low yardage totals in some of those games were partly a function of drops (looking at you Xavier Leggette…).  I’m not advocating that Bryce was elite for the last half of last year, but the eye test certainly supported high level QB play for large stretches. He made a lot of high difficulty, put it on the money/drop in the bucket throws. He converted on 3rd and 4th down, kept drives moving, and put the team in position to win games. And it’s not on him that the defense blew it late after he led game tying drives, Leggette dropped a game winning TD, or Chuba fumbled the ball in OT. We could have finished the season close to .500 with wins against 3 playoff teams including KC and Philly during that stretch largely due to Bryce’s play.    Has he sustained this level of play long enough to deserve an higher ranking? No. But for judging based in that stretch alone, he would. But whether he can perform more consistently at that level or build on that, and thus earns a higher ranking, remains to be seen.

      Jalen Ramsey

      Totally agree with you, if we had invested in drafting a corner or two I wouldn’t even ponder adding Ramsey. But, to be honest we legit added nobody to our corner room this offseason we have nobody worth developing. Even if Chau Smith Wade is better then what I think, he is the only guy we have invested draft capital into outside of our starters.
