Animal control came out to the house this afternoon and took it. They said they will take it to a vet for a check up and determine if it is a protected species of rodent. Apparantly the trap did not hurt it and the fact that I gave it food and water - and did not shoot it - means they will not press charges against me if it does turn out to be protected.
Whew, was that good news to hear.
I know who my Father is, do you? I thought name calling was verboten here. The first time I questioned someones salvation here, they pulled my post. Anybody that would rather go to hell than be with Jesus obviously doesn't have a clue. The Bible was written for people like you that give more importance to animals than is deserved. Animals are here to serve man, but that doesn't give us the right to abuse them. Getting an animal to the table is pretty barbaric to some people, but thats because they live in a fantasy world where there is no suffering. Like I said in my post, I would have dispatched the animals quicker, but the animals end up dead, one way or another.
PS. The Bible is not silent on animals having souls. Read it again.
God bless you, but you are the exception to the rule. I've never paid for an animal in my life. My wife bought a cat once,....biggest piece of crap we ever had.
What a Christian question. Would Jesus ask such a question? OK, I'll use a better term: Hypocrite. You don't show love, you only demand it.

Because your type of "thinking" is anethema to true teachings. And I am starting to think you are a troll, pretending to be a Believer. I have used this technique on DU.

Please give a reference. If you survive, troll.
Congratulations!
Uh, sorry, stupid, but the MILLIONS of dollars spent fixing what happened with the Exxon Valdez went to alot more than the saving of one deer. That oilspill wreaked havoc on a habitat that will take decades to get it back to where it was. It can have worldwide repercussions with an oilspill that massive if not cleaned up to the best of their ability. Pull your head out of your ass and think about it next time or do some research, you'll see where the money went. I'll give you one little hint, it wasn't all to help the animals.
You make my point.
You'd cause a human death for him being an idiot, for doing something that was standard operating procedure for hundreds of years.
IMO, that's infantile city slicker "dude" absurd PC brain dead bunny hugging bovine excrement. IMO.
I'd chalk it up to HYPERBOLE but I know better.
AMEN
BTW, Jesus is interested to know who your Father is. Like I said, Read your Bible.
The only reason I comment on these posts is because people "THINK" they know what God says about things, but don't have a clue. This is where the "cafeteria" Christianity comes from. That's why we have abortionist, sodomite, gay marraige, ordained women minister, stuff in our churches. They haven't read the Bible and don't intend to.
I think you need to go back to DU where you belong,.....July 19, 2005.....sheeeesh!
I see you fell into the Newbie trap.
Ad hominum attacks due to how long you think I have been here. You demonstrate self-importance and arrogance -- truly Jesus-like traits.
If you are the example of Christianity, I will join a mosque.
I understand your sarcasm---but the fact is you seem to enjoy watching animals suffer --and joke about it....pretty sad.
"I never said drowning dogs is ok. I said LOOK AT THE REALITIES OF THE WORLD"
I never said drowning humans was OK... If anything I may have left off the "/sarcasm" tag. I maintain that at some point you need to have an accounting of what this guy did.

These several DEERS were given the best care, and nurtured back to health then air lifted again back to be released......In the same exact time frame a street person froze to death on a grate in downtown Anchortown. No worries, he was just a street drunk afterall. Hmmm several Deer, one dead drunk.
You replied: I think there is an important difference here. The deer had no choice about food and it wasn't their fault that oil was spilled, contaminating everything in site and ruining their habitat. It was a man made disaster. The street person who froze to death made his choices. He didn't have to be a drunk, do drugs, refuse to work for a living or live on the streets.
I'm gonna have to stand by my statement that you are the most ignorant poster of the day. You are correct that the drunk made his choices, still I'm certain that he would've greatly appreciated 1/10000th (yes ten thousandth, helicopter airlifts are really expensive) of the money being spent to save "several deer" giving him a warm place to NOT die. I have no deep love for homeless, but I freely admit I'd rather see a PERSON saved than a hundred deer. Wanna try for two in a row?
what a waste. with so many great siamese recipes floating around...
You are missing the point - perhaps not well put on my part.
You must admit the time has arrived when we seriously do need to wonder if it is legal to kill a rat we trap in our home, that and what is the legal way kill it if it is legal.
Certainly I do not enjoy seeing an animal suffer. And right now I would love it if my cat that has been missing for two days would walk through the door and come jump up on my lap.
Same god you worship anyway. Animal gods, moon gods, etc, gets you to the same place. Well, you know what they say about pearls and swine,......well, maybe you don't.
PS. Don't forget your belt!
I agree he must held to account.
But...he is not a mass murderer or enemy of humanity.
Just an insensitive idiot.
Agreed, if you read all that I posted.
