I don't know if she was being sarcastic, but in my town I see dead armadillos, opossums, raccoons, all manner of turtles, and squirrels dead in the middle of the road frequently. As someone whose cat (technically my sister's cat) disappeared when we were kids, I know the pain of wondering what has happened.

Here's the letter from Chris of Furisevil to HSUS: Dear HSUS, Like the raccoon dogs just a few miles from me, in cages awaiting to be killed, I cannot afford to wait for HSUS to do something. Better yet, HSUS could start a campaign targeting at Google's DOG AND CAT SKIN Trade. Nothing personal, but I have to blog about this.

Years ago, I became a wildlife volunteer and advocate because of a cat who caught a bird. Now, he lay frightened and ruffled in my hands, his tail tattered, his feathers damp from the maw of a cat named Puck. Back then, I didn’t know enough about birds, but I knew a lot about cats.

Another time I was wearing gloves, just as I should have been, and an adult raccoon bit through them and took a divot out of my middle finger.
