I mean, a lost kitty is as good a reason as any to get out your weaponry
Imagine if he'd lost a chocolate bar!
The court heard that on Monday night Mr Wittmann allegedly went to the Lost Dogs' Home where his cat was being held, after being told he could pick it up the following day.Detective Senior Constable Jo MacDonald told the magistrate Mr Wittmann, who served in the Australian Army before being discharged for failing to render efficient service, was dressed in military-style clothing and was armed with an assault rifle.
"On this occasion, he's acted to get back possession of a cat, which he was only going to be without for possibly 10 hours," she told the court.
The father of three is accused of pointing the rifle at a young ranger in the shelter's car park, who later described the gun as "something a SWAT team in the movies would use".
How do you go from "being discharged for failing to render efficient service" to storming an animal shelter commando style? I guess it never occurred to this genius that he won't be able to see Puss or his kids in prison. (Kids undoubtedly are rejoicing...)
Really, what would you do for one?
Well it is Australia so the sentence probably won't be as long as it would be in USA.
And it is sad that there probably are untreated mental health issues.

I didn't realize they were so rare. I thought they were like coyotes...
The question is whether they are interbred with feral dogs. I'm not sure if the alpine dingos are a distinct subspecies or if they are just purebreds in that area. Sure look different from the normal dingos I've seen. It's an issue because the locals kill wild dogs and I'm not sure if they are allowed to kill dingos or not. It's a hot-button issue that gets into whether they are indigenous or were brought over by people in the last 10,000 years or so. I think they are native wildlife in either case. One of the claims is that a dingo population keeps the wild dogs out and overall they kill less cattle. I don't know enough to say.
You need a special permit to keep a tame dingo but you don't for a dingo-cross. Met a guy in town with a "dingo-cross" that sure didn't look or act like a pet dog. He about admitted as much.
eta: and they are a lot rarer than cyotes in any case.
"Australien government"? Does that misspelling have a certain meaning in Oz that 'Muricans couldn't appreciate?
I do love the repeated use of "sh*tf+ckery"; reminds me of "Rake." We could use that term here.
Sounds like your government's corruption is a bit reminiscent of the one in Washington...
I think they are suggesting that the government is alien when seen from the indigenous perspective, but I'm not really sure. I try to watch my potty-mouth but I may have to start using shitfuckery. Rake was always on too late for me.
I've sold 3 of the Drop Bear shirts for a royalty of about $10. At schlabby's suggestion, I googled "Donate to Australia Fires" or something like that and scrolled down to find a Donate button. Google is routing donations to the Center for Disaster Philanthropy. They're not taking a cut but you can also donate directly to CDP, altho that will go into the global fund, not earmarked for the fires.
