    Wheelchair-Bound Cat Ticketed, Lack of Leash

    A Florida woman says her county animal services has its priorities wrong after giving her a $230 ticket for walking her wheel-chair
    bound cat without a leash.

    I wouldn't call that a wheelchair, more like "training wheels".

    I agree there are better things the cops should be doing with their time but, she is being less than genuine.

    "Where would I put the leash?" how bout on its neck like everyone else. lol

    That makes me believe (I can't believe I'm gonna say this), the cop is telling the truth when he says she was warned prior to this occurrence.

    I'd have some respect for her if she just said "Screw you and your stupid law, go find some crooks." , rather than the "I'm different, I deserve special treatment..." route.

    I watched 10 seconds of the video. Why can't that thing be leashed? It has a neck.

    It's a real catastrophe in the making. I remember the time when all those invalid cats charged me and ripped half my face off.

    Is this just a house cat?

    Are you guys for real? That cat doesn't need to have a leash on it. It's not going anywhere. It can barely move. Damn, I cannot believe your comments.

    All she really has to do is cut a regular leash down to a few inches in complete length and let it hang around chest level. There's nothing they can say or do. I do it all of the time with my dogs even though they're technically on a verbal leash anyhow.

    Yeah, I know. It's one of the silliest things I've ever heard but was just offering up a solution in case the lady happens upon this section of the www. I'm kind of a prick in the fact that I like to antagonize people in authority. Try it sometime. It's a hoot.

    This citation is obviously ridiculous; however, I would always leash a healthy dog or cat with people around, even if it was not "the law." I was on a couple of gun forums and you would not believe (or maybe you would) the number of pantywaists that "draw down" on dogs that lope after them. If you look at all the sociopathic/cowardly cops, then it's really not hard to believe the number of imbeciles that $#@! their pants when your dog even looks at them.

    I once adopted two dogs when living in an apartment. It was sort of an emergency thing that last about two days. Anyway, I was walking them one time, and the dopey manager told me I had to get rid of them. Told her I was solving the problem as she spoke. The next, immediate thing out of her mouth was, "Are they vicious?" The word "vicious" is the catch word of the day. When it comes to dogs, a petty power type will never miss an opportunity to use the word "vicious."

    I don't really even let my dogs around too many people anymore. Never really trust anybody around your pets.

    If they really cared about the law itself they would have given the woman the ticket in the first place. Of course, they didn't. She got the ticket because she didn't conform to the minion's do what I say ego.

    Huh? What in the world does any of THAT have to do with anything?

    You said earlier that you like to "antagonize people in authority" by "offering up solution[s]" for how to comply with authority.
    I am not able to make the least bit of sense out of that. Hence, my query in post #14 - in reply to which you said that I should "try it."
    So, please! Put me out of my misery! Either tell me how I can "antagonize authority" by recommending ways to comply with it, or just shoot me ...

    Good Christ, Florida...wtf
    “The people of the various provinces are strictly forbidden to have in their possession any swords, bows, spears, firearms, or other type of arms. The possession of these elements makes difficult the collection of taxes and dues and tends to permit uprising, therefore, the heads of the provinces, official agents, and deputies are ordered to collect all weapons mentioned above and turn them over to the government.”

    Sometimes, but rather rare. aggravated neighbors, coyotes, cars, and dogs are all more likely to kill a free roaming cat. Average indoor only cat lifespan is 18 years. Roaming cats average is only 3.

    Ah. I see. I suppose that what I meant was antagonizing the authority figure. Thus the 3 inch leash hanging. Bacause I've no intention of carrying a leash around just because someone with a notepad told me to. You see? Again, if they were concerned with the infringement of the law itself then they would have ticketed the woman in the first place. They didn't.
