Ha, take that stupid animal abusers everywhere. The dynamite never went off <img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /> Wonder if he'll get Lucky back, but I doubt it.

The thing I find unfortunate is that whatever sentence they get would probably be higher if Lucky was a dog instead of a wabbit. Sadly, dogs seem to have more legal protection than most pets. Or at least in this country. It's almost like 'dogs are first class pets, everything else is a second class pet'. I'd also be supprised if fishies have any legal protection at all.

While it's true we tend to have a sliding scale on animal rights here, I'd say that abuse would be punished even if on fish. I mean, sure, we hook them, scale them and so on, but copying that dynamite scene would still get ya hauled up by the RSPCA here. I never got the whole rule that you gotta stop if you run over a dog, and not a cat. Simply because people love cats just as much as dogs, and any dog that runs onto a road... Bleh.

I have a dog and a cat and if the cat was as big as the dog then id like it more.

Was more thinking of the scene in some Mr Bean ep with the goldfish <img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... ns/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /> And Ozymandias - funny you should mention that. I know someone who's cat is bigger than both his dogs.

Well at least they found out that she may be infected before it was too late. Unlike the poor guy who was bitten by a bat over here and wound up being the first uk rabies victem in over 100 years.

I'm sure Mr. Baker has the Feds camping out at his doorstep to either watch him or protect him now. I am definitely no fan of W, but I wouldn't consider murder as a solution.
