I mean, let's say you did kill us. Or didn't. There could be torture. Whatever. But somehow you found the goods. What would your cut be?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wait. What? Did you just say "feeding kittens to his pet alligator"?!?!??

Yup.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

No.

Because no one would ever do that.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Now now -- maybe the alligator won them fair and square in a poker game.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

It doesn't sound all that different from feeding live mice to pet snakes.

I'm looking for a local news link but it's just on network, not on the web yet.

Apparently, the guy's lawyer is comparing kittens to rats fed to snakes.

It's very different. Because I like cats.

But seriously, that's a good point. Do "cruelty to animals" laws typically make a distinction between "good" animals, such as pets, and "bad" animals like rats and mice?

I totally agree.

This case is going to require a closer reading of animal cruelty laws. The people I know that have snakes, feed them dead rats (they buy them frozen from the pet store and nuke 'em). I've heard the mice and rats can bite or scratch the snakes enough to hurt them. There is a designation of "companion" animals and "feeder" animals.

The whole thing is bizarre. I can't believe it's legal to keep a fucking alligator.

At the very least, he may have stolen someone's cat.

Well, there's that. I doubt it is.
