Quote: What are we up to now . . Quadruple "huh?" . . . . and what rumor is this? Interesting that you just joined. Related to my neighbors are we? Also, i would be perfectly within my rights to use whatever force is necessary to protect my livestock, or as i like to refer to them...

Quote: I hate people who follow that myth - if you want cats to stay on your farm and catch rats or mice, *feed* them. Sorry to hear about your chickens. Too bad it wasn't the "cats HAD a farmer" at the end...
