HAWTHORNE, Fla. -- A 74-year-old man attacked by pit bulls Friday morning had his right arm amputated, his left arm partially amputated and suffered severe facial injuries, Putnam County deputies said. Deputies were called to the 200 block of Old Hawthorne Road in Hawthorne about 11 a.m. and found Roy McSweeney severely injured. McSweeney was taken to Shands Hospital in Gainesville and was in surgery Friday afternoon. His condition was not available. Investigators said the two dogs responsible for the attack belonged to McSweeney's neighbor.

They said the owner of the dogs gave both of them to authorities, and the pit bulls were euthanized and taken to the Putnam County Health Department to be tested for rabies.

Deputies said no further details could be released. .

Yep, and from what I read the first Savanna Cat was also an accident — the wildcat decided it liked a Siamese pet in the house and was a totally unexpected breeding pair. Maybe the wildcat liked the sound of the Siamese, or liked its personality, or some other unknown reason. Who can predict the breeding preferences of animals? We can't even figure out why some people like each other, let alone the males and females of a whole different species.

Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed your half-bobcat. Sounds like something I would enjoy too, but I'm sure some others would hate having a 20-pound-plus feline around, especially one capable of jumping eight feet or more off the ground which makes hissing noises very much like its wildcat dad.

Different strokes for different folks, I guess...

These guys are claiming some sort of inside track with one of the administrators. On the other hand they sound like the old Clown Posse, and even use phraseology very, very similar to those guys.

I'd think we might start thinking that "THEY ARE BACK" until they come up with some bona fides pretty darned quick.
