Today at CTV:

"Many Canadians across the country are getting a bit of relief at the pumps Tuesday as gas prices fell by as much as nine cents a litre overnight."

I love a bit of relief at my pump.

Today at the BBC:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/

Well, go on, show me something what's as clumsily written as the stuff on the CTV site. Noting, of course, that the BBC has correspondents, CTV gets its material from wire services and it will have been written clearly when it reached them.

Phner.

Well it doesn't happen every day!! But it does happen, particularly since they shed a load of back-room staff a while ago.

Personally i don't give a toss who reported the story ! I just think whoever shot that puppy needs to be hung, drawn and quartered ! (preferably in public)

Strange.......

Its a pet.... granted it shouldn’t be shot, but then again its shouldn't have run off down the road chasing strangers either…..

Why do people request this barbaric punishment for injury to a domestic pet
When a request for that level of punishment for the murder of a human would make them seem medieval in their outlook
And the shooting of a wild animal for fun is considered a sport

People are just messed up

Yes, it could cause a seriously sore mild ankle bite. Or smother the unfortunate hunter in slobbery affection.

People are really messed up.

all for the sake of putting the dog on a lead......


tell me

Which is the more disturbed individual

a man who shoots an innocent pet

or a man who thinks public hung, drawn and quartering is a suitable punishment

This is hard to write and still make it funny, imagine you are hearing it and cant see the spelling, that may work.

My SIL's brother rang home one evening to say he would be late as he had run over an old dear in the park.

His mum worried and waited up for him. Pretty horrified when she heard that everything was OK as she was old, so they shot her.

It was a while before she realised it was a deer, an old one, that was needed culling, so they shot it.

I would say the man that shoots an "INNOCENT PET" !

If that makes me "disturbed" then i dont give a ****

What would you say is a suitable punishment ? Maybe a slap on the wrist and a $10 fine

How about revoke his gun license for life and $1000 fine plus at least 40 hours community work

hhhmmmm? can you meet me halfway

You see, Brits are so fussy and stuck up even when displaced for some time.

Fussy self important nobodies.

and i thought the off-leash bylaw enforcement was strict in Calgary

You and I both know the hunters will say they thought it had rabies and get off free

you think thats a fair price to pay ? How would YOU feel if it was one of YOUR kids pets that got "SHOT AND KILLED FOR NO REASON" ?
