Yes.
Maybe we need to bring back insane asylums?

Maybe she couldn't read, and thought a faux was a type of canine. Either that,or she just needs to be put in the ring with a torqued off bear.

I have found that these animal rights fanatics are more prone to use violence than any old fur trapper or ladies in mink coats would ever dream of.

Re: God save us from fanatics
A prime example of how our justice system DOESN'T work. SHe's been convicted of trying to arrange a murder for hire just 7 years ago, and she's out on the streets today to attempt to murder again? She shouldn't be in an asylum, she should be locked up for the rest of her life. She's crazy, yes. But she's always going to be a threat to society and should never be loose to continue to threaten innocent people.

Re: God save us from fanatics
Such people not only vote, but they reproduce!
Such incidents always remind me of what C.S. Lewis wrote:
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”
-- C.S. Lewis,1898-1963

The most important aspect of this signature line is that you don't realize it doesn't say anything significant until you are just about done reading it & then it is too late to stop reading it....

Re: God save us from fanatics
I hadnt heard of it either and googled this:
Years ago, I was on a telephone reference shift when this call came in: A woman, sounding a bit agitated, asked if I could give her some information about naugas — their gestation period and their status on the endangered species list, specifically. After a bit of cursory searching, I enlisted a few colleagues (who also had not heard of such an animal). Fifteen minutes later, we still had no answers.
I got back on the phone and told the patron she could help narrow our search if she could at least tell us in which phylum or class naugas resided.
She replied (with a heavy sigh), “Oh, you know — they’re the animals they use to make naugahyde couches.”

Well... naugahyde couches were certainly a blight on society... Anything to halt their reproduction would likely benefit children...Booger Bill wrote: ↑Mon Nov 25, 2019 10:07 pm“Oh, you know — they’re the animals they use to make naugahyde couches.”

Re: God save us from fanatics
We had a girl in college that we had convinced nauga's were real, also convinced her that they only had a square inch of usable hide and that's why the population was so low.
Might have been the same woman boogerbill had on the phone!
