Kickass, the doorstop dog, reports that the keeper ran across an old report from a Wisconsin DNR warden that seems appropriate for this gloomy morning and its attendant political scenario.
A Pepin county man who had smoked some meth, got in his vehicle with a loaded gun and then deliberately ran over a raccoon which he then tried to kill by shooting it several times. The subject then tried to finish the job by clubbing the raccoon with his gun which accidentally fired, causing a “nonlife threatening” injury to the man’s groin. “The bullet remains lodged in the man’s buttocks.”
The fines were over $1,000, and the subject lost hunting privileges.
The keeper suggested to Phyllis that the incident is a painful parallel to current machinations around the White House and acknowledging that verity is, at the very least, one way to deal with a gloomy morning. She agreed.
