Get ready to shed a tear. http://www.wimp.com/getsrescued/

Wonderful story, but you definitely need a kleenex box!

Awwwwww. Excellent.

Dusky, I've noticed that you do a lot of posts about cute animals. Yet, in Ishtarr's thread about guns, you mention that you own a hunting rifle (amongst other guns). I don't quite get it. Are you a lover of animals, or are you someone who hunts them? If both, how does that work for you - do you have problems resolving both impulses?

Are you a vegetarian? Pam

PeonForHer -> RE: A dog gets rescued because of Google Maps (9/5/2012 5:23:43 PM)
Why do you ask?

LadyHibiscus -> RE: A dog gets rescued because of Google Maps (9/5/2012 5:33:57 PM)
She's referring to the thread that got VERY contentious about vegans... And we can like pets and eat animals. Well, I can. Though I would sooner eat a baby than a guinea pig.

'Before you grill it...' is the one, here in OT.

PeonForHer -> RE: A dog gets rescued because of Google Maps (9/5/2012 5:48:59 PM)
I haven't read that. Would it, by any tiny chance, have turned into one of those cretinous arguments where one side says to the other, basically, 'If you're anything other than an angel with wings who eats only air molecules you might just as well be a baby dolphin torturer'? A lot of animal welfare arguments go that way.

LadyHibiscus -> RE: A dog gets rescued because of Google Maps (9/5/2012 5:52:02 PM)
Only Aynne was taking that stance. Epiphiny is a fan of that 'Guns, Germs and Steel' book, which IMO is good science mixed with shoddy scholarship, so NOT a win. Interesting, overall.

Dusky is an enigma no doubt, wrapped in a riddle...

PeonForHer -> RE: A dog gets rescued because of Google Maps (9/5/2012 5:57:40 PM)
Nup. I've done the ethical arguments about animal welfare up to my gills. I'm not going to get into them again unless someone's paying me to do them. I only care about the psychological thing these days. That is, for instance, how is it possible to square being tearful about an animal one day, but kill an animal for fun and sport the next?

LadyHibiscus -> RE: A dog gets rescued because of Google Maps (9/5/2012 6:31:48 PM)
I don't know anyone who hunts for fun and sport. All my friends that hunt, and there are many, do it to fill the freezer for the winter. Pointless anecdote: my friend that's a vet used to work in a rural area. A client wanted a bighorn sheep, and was not successful at hunting one. So he got a weanling and raised it with the purpose of killing it. Yep.

My local pet stores have their ethics mixed up. They refuse to sell live mice as food. So they basically are telling me that my very expensive Burmese Ball Python can starve before they will sell me a $1.49 mouse. [:@]

LadyHibiscus -> RE: A dog gets rescued because of Google Maps (9/5/2012 11:31:00 PM)
No feeder mice, but frozen dead ones, right?

yourdarkdesire -> RE: A dog gets rescued because of Google Maps (9/5/2012 11:36:24 PM)
Goliath is picky. He will not touch frozen food. But he sure enjoyed his rat tonight! The stores will only sell mice as pets, and charge a comparative fortune for them.

If I had a pet python, I'd call him 'Colin'. Just saying. That is all.

Do you eat meat, Peon?

Only baby dolphins' brains, Hlen.
