[QUOTE]Pinot, that's sad, but I honestly don't think it's awful of your dog. It's what happens when animals are not properly controlled, and in this case I'm talking about your neighbors not properly controlling their cats which led to the whole situation. Is there no law that would let you report them? Having a huge population of wild animals can't be healthy, wild animals have bugs and diseases.

I know and I've been worried that my dogs may eat the feral cat poop on my property and get sick especially my puppy because she won't have all her shots until 6 months. My dog was just being a dog. She is not mean and she is old with bad hips I don't even understand how she was able to catch that cat.

[QUOTE]Sorry I was eating! I'm back. Yes, I did submit a secret to KPS but it wasn't scandalous. My confession: Oh boy. My neighbors are, in my opinion, animal hoarders and have a feral cat colony living/reproducing on their property about 25/30 cats. My large dog loves to chase them off my property and she got loose during the chase last week and was able to catch a cat. :-( Cat did not survive. I'm so upset about it and I'm afraid they may report my dog to the state and have her put on a dangerous dog list even though she is not dangerous. He also fired 2 gun shots at my dog (she is OK, not hit) because he thought she was the racoon that killed a couple of his cats last week.

Thank god your dog is ok! I would lose my SHITE if someone fired shots at my dog.
Definitely report those people. Those poor cats.

My own mother falls under the category of those three options and I know that she would never say that she wishes her biological mother would have aborted her or her brother. She had a rough childhood because of that but she has never wished she wasn't born.

pinkpinot · September 2010

I've been researching PA dog laws and are feral cats considered domestic? I can only be in trouble if my dog kills a domestic pet but I'm not sure what constitutes "domestic"

At the shelter we can't even adopt out feral cats, only capture, neuter & release. We would never refer to feral cats as domestic.

It's like people who say that when you abort you could be aborting the next Einstein. Yeah, or the next Hitler. Take your pick. (PS, women who have to abort for non-medical reasons are probably not about to give birth to the next Einstein.)

Oh, and we are over our limit from our town ordinaces. I say the cats only count as half a pet each since they don't go outside.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Flammable Confessions : I completely agree with that. I hate women who just use it a BC and I know several who have also. I also think it's horrible when someone aborts far into the pregnancy just because they changed their mind. A girl in high school did this. She decided at 6 1/2 months she didn't want to keep a baby and couldn't "bear to adopt it out" so she had an abortion. She wasn't very popular after that.
Posted by spechtholdn[/QUOTE]

6 1/2 months? Really? That would be considered a partial birth abortion, which is illegal (and has been for about 7 years).

Posted by btrflykate1230[/QUOTE]

That is a good point. I agree they are the minority, but it still disgust me. If you're smart enough to have 1 abortion because you know you can't take care of a child, then you're smart enough to get on birth control. This statement is assuming though that the person is just too lazy (or doesn't listen at the doctors office) to actually go get on birth control. I realize that maybe they could have been and didn't use properly or whatever other reason there may be.

pinkpinot · September 2010

My mom is a hard core religious lady and when I was in high school she taped two posters in our living room.

The first said: ABSTINENCE, IT WORKS!

The second was a cartoon comic strip type thing of a partial birth abortion.

I still have nightmares and I never had friends over because, how embarrassing is that?

I think it depends on the state on whether or not they are illegal.
While pro-choice, I am okay with regulations regarding late-term abortions. I kind of feel like you should have made a decision already one way or the other. The proverbial "shiit or get off the pot," KWIM?

It's a late term abortion. I hate the phrase partial-birth.

Most STATES actually have laws that limit abortion to less than 12 weeks, 16 weeks, or 20 weeks. Or at least to viability, because after that it gets dicey.

And the late-term abortion ban was upheld by the Supreme Court in 2007, so 3 years ago. But it's still only illegal in certain states and for certain reasons.

Pinot, most likely, it was against the law for your neighbor to fire shots at your dog. It's against the law in most cities, I believe. That plus having too many animals, and animals that they don't keep on their own property - I'd call and report them. ASAP. Before he learns to aim.

Would you believe he was within his right? I know I was shocked.

These statutes represent Pennsylvania's Dog Law, and contain provisions related to licensing, rabies quarantines, kennels, and the dangerous dog chapter. The significant features of the law include a statewide leash requirement for dogs (Section 305) and provisions for "dangerous dogs" (Section 501 et. seq.). <strong>Under the latter, any person may kill any dog which he sees in the act of pursuing or wounding or killing any domestic animal, including household pets, or pursuing, wounding or attacking human beings,</strong> whether or not such a dog bears a required license tag.
