Is there no better example of poetic justice than a cat taken away
by an eagle or owl?

I can't think of one.

7. Dont mean it wont happen
just because it hasnt happened yet.

Apropos of nothing, I read a news story once where
this drunk got stopped with a stolen cow in his car.
He acted surprised to see the cow in his back seat
and told the officer that he had stopped to take a
leak and it must have climbed in while he had his
back turned.

9. There was the animal rights activist mauled by a bull.
In some back alley in Spain, they show the video a lot.

That's either poetic justice or poestic irony depending on how you look at it.

Either way, it was poetic.

8. Doubt it, but
pigs can get VERY vicious - my dad almost got mauled by one.

Yes, a pig, like the thing that becomes bacon, not a wild boar. A fucking pig. They were probably pissed because he had to castrate all of them.

6. One bitter snowy day, I took pity on the starlings
that were chasing the other birds away from my feeder. I tossed some old biscuits out the front door, with the hope that they'd leave the side yard, where I keep my feeder.

I watched for a moment, smiling at my generosity. Then this hawk swooped down and grabbed one of the boogers for her lunch.

Ain't Nature grand?

11. Nature has neither shame nor guilt
Because they have not the knowledge of good and evil.

12. Everyone has to survive, or what's the point?
Animals and Republicans still haven't tried to make an ethical case that deals with this fact.

13. I was thrilled to help feed them...
Everybody's got to eat, after all.
