That does seem really stupid. Isn't Oklahoma the state where they still
allow cockfighting? Seems they have their priorities mixed up.

Actually, cockfighting has been against the law for awhile, but
raising and fighting birds was legal. So, what do they think the
people raising the birds planned to do with them, if not fight them to
the death?

Anyway, voters banned raising them in a recent election. Unbelievably
to me, the cockfighters have a powerful lobby who are still fighting
to get the ban overturned. But, for now at least, it's against the law
to raise the birds as well as fight them.

My TED places a small tattoo just above the incision to indicate a
female has been spayed. As he explained to me when my two girls were
done, it could prevent an unneccessary surgery if someone, not the
original owner, took their pet to be spayed and there wasn't an
obvious scar.

This is exactly what happened to my late cat, Mimi, whom I didn't know
was spayed when I got her. The vet went hunting around her innards
for a uterus, without finding any. Poor baby came home shaved and
stitched and v.v. PO'd.

Sorry, that should have been raising the birds - NOT "and fighting"

Down, boy!!!!
But hey, I relate. We had the house roofed last summer and my
roof was *full* of youngish hunks, sans shirts, with and
without tatoos. I found many reasons to walk outside that day.

Sherry, I have a couple JPEGs on that topic I think you'd
appreciate. May I send them to you?

Perhaps Victor would like to see them too?

Dunno - I just emailed them to you - you decide and pass them on to
him if you want.

That's standard practice for vets here in the land of Oz too,
except the spay tattoo goes on the inside of the cat's ear. Very
easy to find.

guess that's makes more sense than on the belly, like my TED did. I
KNOW where the tattoo is, and would probably have to shave their belly
to find it. LOL

Kreisleriana had some very interesting
things to say about I think Bruiser joined a gang:

This is exactly what happened to my late cat, Mimi, whom I didn't know
was spayed when I got her. The vet went hunting around her innards
for a uterus, without finding any. Poor baby came home shaved and

Could have been worse. Friend of mine adopted a shelter cat, who was
duly dispatched to TED for a spay. Turned out *he* didn't need it,
which was discovered *after* the incision was made.

I still tease Newman by calling him a mutant. :-)
