It's always refreshing to hear kind-hearted people go out of their way for animals...you see a lot of these stories about animals being saved -- and then repaying their saviors -- on "Miracle Pets" on PAX (cable). Great show.

It always enrages me when I am walking down the street and see kids (and others -- I've seen illegals do this as well in my town) unwrap a candy bar, finish a soda, or slice of pizza, and then, without hesitation, non-chalantly and brazenly toss the wrapper/can/paper plate on the sidewalk. As a child, I would have never even considered doing this, having consideration for others, for the environment, and for animals. If I buy a six pack of soda, I always cut up those indestructible plastic rings before tossing them in the garbage, so animals foraging in the dump don't get tangled in them.

Sounds like you live in New York City.

on more than one occasion I have caught illegals tossing trash into the bed of my pickup.
needless to say, on more than one occasion said illegals have seen my .45 and had to take a walk to the nearest trash can.
