Do you live here in Tennessee! Animal Control is useless. In many areas there is no such thing. I’ve called them a couple times for help and was asked, “What do you want me to do about it?”

So many people treat their pets like crap - often technically abusive.

I once drowned a raccoon which had a pellet in its’ brain. It put up a mighty struggle.

There’s all sorts of animals living in and around the park. Water, food scraps, places to hide.

Do you jog with it there? I would think it could be sweaty or cumbersome. Of course, if your ran into a crazed Bernie fan, especially disguised as a raccoon, you’d be glad you had it.

Someone was making “Guardians of the Galaxy” jokes. “Rocket’s cousin trading in on his name to get a handout.

Coons also carry distemper...

One can't blame them, really, though, given the enduring socioeconomic climate, the media's calls for revolution, Soros' interference, etc. Part of me, frankly, wants to simply feed and pet and take care of them - though I know that solution is precisely the problem. Alas - as my grandfather Shmuley used to say - who, really can expect to be safe when jogging through a park?

“Birch, who is a vegetarian”

Gosh, you’d think an animal doctor would have been able to help the poor animal, but, no, probably had a bad credit report so she just kills it.

Did that damn thing take off her arm?

Sure looks that way too... took off her sleeve as well.

She is a vegetarian. She got hungry.

What they don’t tear up they crap on. Coons are like that.

According to the post that brought this all to light: In an ensuing letter, Mick Jagger asked for permission to make use of the “Opus Feature”, a mechanism to say goodbye in an overwrought manner, over a hexagonal image for which a future Rolling Stones album cover would be designed, a request that was again denied by the powers that be of the forum.

I killed one with a hastily crafted spear. Even with a high quality knife with a needle sharp point as the spear head it took three jabs to puncture the beast’s skin. They are tough!

“...yet my pistol would have stopped it.”

Preferable to what this gal did, but I’m glad she is OK.

“Or haven’t you ever listened to that song?”

A lot of people never listen to the lyrics. That is actually an awful song, totally against American Women and one of the few songs I will run across the room to turn off.

Better to use “american girl” by Tom Petty.

No time to review. I clocked one that lunged at me with a hedge club.
