That and other such recent incidents, like the shooting and decapitation of a feral cat in Waco, have led to a bill in the Legislature that would extend an animal-cruelty law from domestic pets to wild animals. House Bill 590, sponsored by Rep. Fred Brown, R-Brazos, is in committee.

Ol' Fred better.....do some "research" here..Or he's gonna be "skinned"...by the voters.

FWIW-

A couple of years ago a young girl in my county was was attacked by a Coyote, her face was mutilated and will require several plastic surgery reconstructions.

So far as I know no pictures were ever published of the wounds, perhaps the local "media" does have some limits after all.

Maybe the people in TX need to be reminded that Coyotes are predators, not cuddly pets, before their own children are maimed?

Hunting is NOT "torture", and you cannot "torture" a dead animal!

This won't pass. This line of thinking is getting old. I am all for not torturing animals, but out where I live poeple as still dumping dogs and cats. I shoot any non-collared dog or cat or any animal that appears to have been dumped on sight. If anyone doesn't like it you are welcome to come out an adopt all of them and/or try to stop me and my neighbors. I refuse to allow my tax dollars to be wasted on programs or laws to increase our sensitivity to animals.

PETA sucks. I prefer my PETA ( People eating tasty animals ). Most of these goons make no correlation to that filet they are eating and where it came from and how it died. Liberal morons.

Killing and skinning, no problem. Dumping the carcass was a no-no.

Fine him for littering.

Oh, and I should mention that I fail to see where there was any cruelty. Seems like he shot the coyote and skinned it. Taxidermy is okay, isn't it?

Torture for any animal is unacceptable.

At least it wasn't deliberately starved to death /no thread diversion intended

The perp should have just tied the coyote to a post and let it starve and die of thirst over 13 days. That would have been considered humane to liberals, unfaithful husbands, and certain idiot judges.

So shooting a wild animal is cruelty but starving to death a disabled woman (Terry Schiavo) is "choice." What a country.

I can understand NW Austin that is hill country but inside Loop 610 in Houston is too much. I live about 2 miles west of the west Loop, we are 4 houses from Buffalo Bayou and I have heard coyotes have been spotted not far from here. I am for doing something about it. I don't want my Jack Russels snatched from my back yard.

As long as they didn't put underwear on its head or point at its genitals. That would really be bad.

Yeah, I always dump the carcass's of the animals I mount right down town. I don't mount em down town, just in case there's any ambiguity in this sentence at all.

Just starve it and you'll be off the hook.

Talk about stereotyping and bigotry!

I'm sure that you are affluent enough to at least buy a small clue even if you can't afford the whole set.

So, they want to outlaw killing wild animals? That means we won't need our guns for hunting anymore right? And if we don't need our guns for hunting and the nanny state is gonna ensure our safety and freedom, well, gee, we don't need guns at all.

Yup

That's one prong of their plan.

You hit the nail on the head.

Wait a minute...
Lets not name call. I live in Fort Worth. I also have an idiot neighbor who is named Billy Bob, who uses his gun recklessly, esp during dove season, deer season, nascar season. You name it, he is ready to shoot something.

So you're telling us that you have a neighbor named Billy Bob that drinks and then carelessly discharges his shotgun in the neighborhood near children?

How often does this happen? Was this a single occurrance or a habit pattern? When was the last time? What was done about it?

Yes that is what I am telling you. I know of numerous neighbors that have called the police. He was charged with reckless endangerment of a child, and has been arrested, posted bail, and is awaiting trial. He was arrested I believe ten days ago. I was not at home when it happened. I do not throw out names, nor am I a bigot. I have a legitimate concern for the welfare of children that live near me. He hasn't just shot off a shotgun, it has been other guns as well.I do not know what sort of an investigation is going on. I do know it has been very quiet lately.

Go back and read your remarks in 12 and see why people could read them as fairly anti-rural, anti-redneck, and anti-gun instead of specific concerns about your neighborhood.

In the mean time, color me skeptical.

Well, I still don't see any cruelty toward an animal in this particular story. But as you can see, we're off-topic since the thread is no longer discussing the story.
