[QUOTE="soberups, post: 980585, member: 14668"] You are nuts. I am not a hero, and I do not enjoy killing things. I was raised to believe that you do not allow an animal to suffer if you have the tools at hand to end that suffering. Where [I]I [/I]live, if you are outside city limits then "animal control" is either the county sheriff ( who might take an hour or two to get out there) or the nearest person who has a gun. Where[I] I[/I] live, we often have to roll up our sleeves and take care of biz [I]ourselves[/I] instead of calling 911 and waiting for a cop to show up. I lknow that probably sounds crude and barbaric to you, but not all of us live in gated communities. I was [I]also[/I] raised to believe that it is generally a bad idea to pick up strangers by the side of the road in the middle of nowhere at 1:00 AM. So...if there [I]is[/I] a stranger by the side of the road in the middle of nowhere who needs my help....I will [I]offer[/I] that help but [I]only[/I] after first taking reasonable precautions to ensure my safety and the safety of my wife. It has nothing to do with being a HERO and it has nothing to do with FEAR, and it sure as [I]hell[/I] has nothing to do with me fantasizing about shooting some guy in the back of his head. It is simply me wanting to do the right thing for a fellow human being in a SAFE manner.
