You go, girl. It's never too late for a career change....I want
you to consider going to law school and becoming this county's
next DA :-)

Seriously, it's hard to prosecute any kind of animal abuse case
when
the district attorney isn't sympathetic toward animal issues.

They're still calling me "Little Bo Peep" at the sheriff's
office over a sheep neglect case from five years ago.


I'd imagine it would be hard to be a lawyer trying these kinds of
cases ... like the animal cops, the lawyers can't yell at the
people or hit them. They have to be polite, and they have to
give them
their
legal rights ... and they have to let them go if that's what the
judge
decides.

It largely depends on the DA's attitude about animals, and his
personal definition of "abuse", whether he decides to prosecute,
IMO. The laws are vague. Our DA refused to prosecute a man who
shot a neighbor's clean through with an arrow, because the cat was on
the man's property, and she had been warned. The cat was still
writhing when we got there, and had to euth-ed on the spot. He was
within his rights to remove the cat from his property, yes. But he
could have called Animal Control. Also, year-old calves deprived
of water until their tongues swell in 90-degree heat, then turned
loose in a dead run and having their necks jerked so severely it
sometimes breaks
them, fits my definition of abuse. But around here they call it a
rodeo.

Calves liver is pretty good with horseradish/mayo and grilled
onions. ;^)


UGH liver and onions! I feel like Im back at home again... I
always got out of eating it until my sister moved back home with
her 3 kids and gave them the "You can't leave the table until you finish
your
meal and you need to try a little of everything," speech and then
it applied to me b/c I had to "set an example" for them. *shUddEr*

Love liver (hold the onions), both beef & chicken. Mom too. But
Sis, she like chicken *gizzards*.... Dad & Bro barely tolerated
liver, and I wouldn't touch gizzards :P

Chicken livers, lamb kidneys, with baked beans. Where it not for the
baked beans, my last cat would insist on sharing my meal!

Last time I fixed myself a plate of fried chicken livers - I almost didn't
get any myself! I had to fix a small plate for Moocher Moe, adn then one
for Smokey (heaven help us if they share), and then Weeble, Ernie, Mimi,
Tennessee, Ping & Lizzie wanted a taste, too. Gonna have to get me a large
cage & assemble it around the table, to keep the cats *away* from us when we
eat. Ever see sharks at a feeding frenzy???? Or Pirhanna??? Imagine that,
only on the kitchen floor, and they're furry-cute cats, instead of sharks!
