I don’t like cats at all, but I still agree with your first line.

ETA: Err, your first _two_ lines…

ETAx2: That is to say, I must be a bad person too, because I wish the same thing… sheesh

Just toss him in one of the big cat pits at the zoo.

If they toss him to the lions, the lions will wait till he crawls out of the moat.

If they toss him to the tigers, the tigers will plunge right in.

Diminished, but it does continue to exist. The corporate identity was reconstituted in Texas in 2021 (and tried to file a bankruptcy but that court said “nice try”). In 2022 the NY court ruled against the dissolution of the organization, and LaPierre finally went away only early this year after they knew they would lose the suits.

Speaking of animal cruelty, the Florida man who allegedly tied up his dog by a highway where flooding rains put it in peril of drowning, has been arrested and charged.

The kicker is that he tried to reclaim the dog at a shelter.

Evidently he pays about as much attention to sensational news / social media as I do.

Not that I’d leave my (imaginary) dog behind in a hurricane, but that, like him, I’d expect the dog was in a shelter afterwards and I’d be utterly unaware there was an internet lynch mob after me.
