One would think that would be a medical issue, and not something for the police to bother with.

I would assume that depends on how the animal sustained the burn. For example if someone held a hot iron or some other instrument to the dog to deliberately harm it, then yes, it's a crime. (Some of us feel that should be a capital offense). [:@]

Attending the Royals and Chiefs games are a treat. My dad and I were there when the Royals beat the Cardinals for the championship back in '84 I think. Chiefs games are friggin' loud! Stopping at Gates for the food was my favorite part. Never cared for the greeting you receive when walking in, though: "HIII! MAY I HELP YOU!! (while screaming at the top of their lungs)

The Royals won it all in 1985.. I believe that is what you're referring to. Sadly, I was not alive yet... I think I was growing... as I was born in Feb the following year...[:)] Sorry to hear about your hand man.. I have had my fair share of injuries, and none of them are fun.

Des- You always make me smile. You need to watch either Mud Cats or Duck Dynasty... then you will be a happy man.

He didn't say "out-of a dogs burn", he said "out-of a dogs bum". [:D]

Thanks for the correction. [&o] But the point I was trying to make to our friends who might not have seen the show was that the cops are SCPA COPS (Society for the Prevention of cruelty to Animals) and I've never seen an episode which didn't involve either cruelty or abuse. Or both. (Not that I've seen every episode...I'm afraid I don't have much stomach for the horror they show).

[DuckofTindalos]

We don't disagree, obviously.

In other news, a new concert venue is being opened in my town tonight with a totally sold-out (40000 people) Metallica concert. This is in a town that has about 65000 inhabitants.

That's the purpose of the show. SPCA is a private organization that campaigns against hunting, but in some places they actually have been granted special police powers, etc. Very strange and not a good situation.

Cruelty is certainly bad.

Actually , they are not a "private police force", but rather a Public police organization that is funded (mostly , if not entirely) by a "not-for-profit organization" , funded by personal donations. It would be like a group of indviduals getting together to "pass the hat" , and fund a police force that a public entity felt it could not afford. (Not unlike "boot days" that many local volunteer fire department have, just a whole heck of a lot more organized). The cops are real cops.....with additional special training. And unlike "special victims units", and similar police organizations, they don't rely on the public taxpayers dime. [:)]

I've never heard that the SPCA was against hunting. My mom and friends started the chapter up here about 35 years ago. Do you mean PETA? I'm a member of PETA. People Eating Tasty Animals.[:)]

Just put in for this coming years deer season (early November). NDGF is cutting tags by 40%, so it is one tag and one tag only. Damn. Populations are way down. It has been a predators paradise; cougars, coyotes, wolves and bears.[:@] And (excepting last winter) a few harsh winters in a row.[:@] Hopefully the numbers will trend up again.

Really! I've never heard that. Must be different up here.

Precisely. But IMO there shouldn't be such a "Public police organization" as you put it that is based on such an advocacy group.

BTW they do plenty of good work, I am not discounting that.

I wouldn't be surprised if the amount of local advocacy campaigning is different in different places.

I've not encountered that. Could it be a localized situation? I've not run into that in any part of the country I've lived before.

There isn't. It's a real police force, with real cops, chartered by a real city, trained and accepted by a real state. The only thing that makes it different is it's paid for by donation , not tax payers. Unless you also have a problem with volunteer fire departments? (Not the tax funded...the old fashined ones totally doantion funded). [:)]
