Toxo's cat has been getting beat up lately. Can't figure out what was going on. Well Toxo saw a huge turkey vulture swoop down and almost grabbed his cat Jackson. The vulture has like a 6ft wing span. He says the squirrels haven't been around as much either.

I didn't think those things had talons to do that. I always thought they were part of the 'finishing up' crew. I'm thinking number 4's should get the job done.

Turkey vultures are protected under the federal migratory species laws and so it's illegal to kill them. Don't ask me why. A little bell for some kind of vague memory just went off in my head and I looked it up.

Info on them:

Tell that to the one I had to pressure-spray from my front grill when his migratory habits included a flight path in front of my vehicle while it was doing 70 MPH, as well as his buddy who was flying just a tad higher and bounced off my windshield. And let me tell you, they make one hell of a *thump* when they do that.

That's more of a Stand Your Ground situation...

Killing anything without justification should be "frowned upon"...

"Your Hona'....he [I]needed[/I] killin'!"

Justified.

It's not really [B]that[/B] wrong, but probably not a good idea. Especially now, because of the ultra sensitive times we are currently in. Any other time, knock yourself out.

Well, now that he's issued that blistering rebuke I expect we'll have no more of those shenanigans.

Shenanigans, Hijinks, Tom Foolery, Misbehaving. Those are strong words indeed.

It's just a case of roughhousing that got a little too crazy.

14.) Deerminator - 08/21/2013

Toxo is now going out and checking the trees before Jackson gets out the door.
Looks like the vulture has Jackson scouted out. Jackson's doom unless Toxo gets a bead on the vulture.
:pop:

the bottom line is my cat comes first and i'll do what is necessary to protect Jackson :tap:
