Good for the cat!
That is a confusing title for this article. That is why I added (AL) after Gurley.
It is a small town just East of Huntsville, AL.
Does make you wonder why he was selected to make the hit.........
Once you bond to a cat or dog they are no longer just an animal.
I certainly wouldn't resort to murder....but that family's life would become a living hell....they would have to move to get away from the manace next door.....me.
"What's her Freeper name?"
Heh! I am just shocked.
A Freeper would not allow anyone else the pleasure of making the hit........
LOL! Got it!
Powerful stuff.......
I dont believe anyone would love a cat so much they would attempt murder .....a dog, sure
Some look on acts in their minimal sense. The guy could say "I just killed a cat," but the act wasn't that simple. What he did was to bring sadness and possibly misery into someone else's life.
Anybody who would kill someone's pet is cruel, and their acts addressed properly. My first question is what type of revenge to wage. Killing somebody over a pet is wrong. There's better ways to equal the misery.
just for the record a clean hit does not take a deposit of a few hundred dollars. Not that I'm in the business....but even if you found someone to do it, they will almost always shake you down for more money then burn you. take a few hundred bucks and get some counciling. Much cheaper.
"I dont believe anyone would love a cat so much they would attempt murder .....a dog, sure"
I think we now know that a cat rates the same as a dog.
"take a few hundred bucks and get some counciling. Much cheaper."
It would have been best to report the death of the cat to authorites. Alabama has a tough law, Gucci, concerning the unlawful death of a pet.
The neighbor said 'that's a pretty big hole for a bird'. She said 'my bird is inside your cat'.
I own a cat (actually, she owns me), and anyone who kills harmless pets deserves to be condemned. But to murder them is absurd.
Im not sure about that. Several years ago there was a story of a cheerleaders mom putting a hit out on the mother of another cheerleader so she would be killed right before tryouts and be so distraught she would fail the tryout and her daughter would win that spot. Of course this was in texas and if you know some of the aspects in texas culture it doesnt suprise you.
If you continue to think so and can't come to grips, then you're setting yourself up. All someone has to do is take out your animal, make you think someone else did it and ... you get the rest. Or, knowing you'll go into a rage, kill you when you come over to try and do something about it. How stupid.
Crazy story. For all we know, the neighbors may not have killed the cat at all. The woman might be crazy and delusional. Just yesterday one of my husband's friends was talking about his schizophrenic grandmother. When he was a child, the grandmother killed her cat and after it was dead, started wandering around saying "oh no, someone killed my cat! who killed my cat?"
Or the neighbors may have accidentally killed the cat, perhaps they hit it with their car. Pretty scary to think that if you accidentally hit a cat with your car that some nutjob could put a hit on you.
If it turns out the neighbors did indeed maliciously kill the cat, isn't there some legal recourse this woman would've had? I'm no expert on Alabama law, but I imagine that it must be some sort of crime to kill another person's pet (property). There was no reason for her to hire a hitman to resolve this dispute. She sounds like a real looney toon to me.
No, you wouldn't..........not unless you're clinically insane.
I might settle for destroying everything they own, and maybe some maiming...
