Roll Call 28

What do you mean you don't know about beating animals? Don't you agree that is wrong?

If anyone shot one of my animals, I would beat the hell out of them.

yea i just keep a tazer for aggressive animals and roaming animals. or mace or whatever.

Yeah shooting domestic animal violates the animal cruelty laws in Texas for sure....Overview of Texas Animal Cruelty Laws

That's at the state level...my sister in Austin turned in her neighbor for keeping their dog on a short chain....there are anti tethering laws in Austin....they also made them provide water and a dog house...

so i forgot to say that when i was on break at work i was in my car with the windows down smoking a cig and this homeless guy walks up and asks me if he can charge his phone in my car to make a call. so me being the dumb *** i am i let him in my car. but his charger didnt work. so he left thank god. when he got in i almost expected him to pull out a gun and tell me to drive.

Newtus I know you can't control what your neighbors do but it is animal abuse to beat an animal or to shoot one just because they walked into your yard. It is very, very wrong.

I thought you were in the middle of nowhere I'm surprised you have homeless guys...

Be careful junk!

You could also call animal control. They will come out and get the roaming animal and scan it for a micro chip. That poor dog might have just escaped his yard.

yeah there arent many but there are some just drifting thru. im not 100% sure if he was homeless but he had a bag with him

Yeah so abandoning an animal is also considered a violation of Texas state law...class A misdemeanor with $4,000 fine an up to a year of jail time. If you cat comes back take it to the shelter...

My sentiments exactly.

i dont beat my animals or shot any. but i did have to mace a big dog. people dont get small dogs out here. or if they do they let their big dogs out to roam without a leash and that causes problems because when they get on your property you dont know if they are going to be aggressive with you. animals ARENT people. you cant ask them to stop doing what they are doing. i dont personally know a lot of people out here but i know OF people out here that have shot dogs.

Exactly!

they dont do that out here. not out here. animal control wont come OUT HERE.

Yeah a lot if times smaller towns just give them a bus ticket to a bigger city...we have a lot here but unfortunately also scammers who pretend to have no money to feed a baby or or stranded without gas etc..it's hard to tell so I just donate to the food bank instead.

you know what. so you guys will stop talking about this ill go find the ****ing cat and ****ing take it to a shelter

Animals aren't people. You are right. But they sure as heck don't deserve to be shot just for roaming into someone's yard! I don't care where you live, country or not! People should have compassion. No animal deserves to be abused.

yeah. i live an hour away from a larger city, Asheville, NC. im on the north carolina/south carolina border. i actually work in south carolina but live in NC. there are A LOT of homeless ppl in Asheville so u see some people trying to get there

I don't know why you're getting angry with us Newtus. I'm not angry with you. Taking it to the shelter is just the right thing to do. The moral and compassionate thing to do.

everyone is angry with me

Remember when you post stuff people will respond. Sometimes you may not like their responses but when you post that's a chance you take.

Oh Asheville is supposed to have a really high quality of living well for the people with homes anyway....is it nice there?

I don't think anyone's angry with you. We sure are at your neighbor but that's not your fault what he done. But when you take an animal into your home and you promise it love, safety, food, water, etc then you are responsible for it. You have to do the right thing. Dumping it is a crime.

yes Asheville is nice. most of the ppl are very friendly. it's a very liberal area too. which is kind of uncommon in NC. since it's a red state. but yeah i like asheville. they have really nice homes there. There are a lot of festivals in the spring/summer there
