A Utah couple accidentally shipped their cat, Galena, in an Amazon return package.
The cat was found safe in California after six days without food or water.
An Amazon worker found the cat in a box alongside five pairs of steel-toed work boots.

A Utah couple accidentally shipped their pet cat in an Amazon return package, trapping it in the box without food or water for six days.

The cat, named Galena, was eventually discovered safe and well in California, Utah's KSL-TV was the first to report.

Carrie Clark, one of the cat's owners, noticed the pet had gone missing on April 10, the outlet reported.

For nearly a week, Clark, along with family and friends, searched the couple's house and neighborhood and plastered missing posters around town hoping to locate the cat, KSL-TV reported.

The anxiety and stress of not knowing what happened to her was excruciating," Clark told the outlet.

Clark then received a text notifying her that Galena's microchip had been scanned, and later that day, she received a call from a veterinarian in California.

"I didn't believe her at first and thought it was a prank," Clark told KSL-TV.

The shortest distance between Utah and California is several hundred miles.

The vet told Clark the cat was found inside an Amazon return package, alongside five pairs of steel-toed work boots.

"I ran to tell my husband that Galena was found, and we broke down upon realizing that she must have jumped into an oversized box that we shipped out the previous Wednesday," Clark said.

During the COVID-19 lockdowns, people increasingly turned to buying online instead of visiting brick-and-mortar stores.

The shift brought a big spike in the number of online returns in 2021, which has continued to rise, eMarketer said.

KSL-TV reported that the cat was rescued from the box after six days without food or water by an Amazon employee who found her in a warehouse and took her to the vet.

Clark and her husband then flew to California to be reunited with their cat.

"It was an amazing reunion! Galena instantly stopped shaking and relaxed in my arms when I got to hold her again," Clark said. "Despite being skinnier and some mild dehydration, her bloodwork was completely normal and she was completely unharmed!"

Clark said she hopes the story inspires all pet owners to microchip their pets.

The American Veterinary Medical Association says that one-third of pets will become lost at some point in their lives, but those with microchips are much more likely to be reunited with their owners.

A cat microchip typically costs between $40 and $70.

Clark didn't immediately respond to a BI request for comment.

'Rise Up': Biden Issues Urgent Call On The Fascist Trump Threat At WH Correspondents' Dinner

Anonymous

The president spotted what journalists have to take "seriously" regarding his predecessor following the deadly Capitol riot.

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/joe-<wbr>biden-trump-threat-white-house-corr<wbr>espondents-dinner_n_662dbd14e4b0c2f<wbr>de1a5dba7

President Joe Biden made a number of jabs at Donald Trump before shifting his tone to address what journalists have to take “seriously” about the former president at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner on Saturday.

Biden — toward the end of his speech to the D.C. crowd — reflected on his address marking the 3rd anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021 attack where he noted that Americans must answer “whether democracy is still” America’s most “sacred cause” this year.

“The defeated former president has made no secret of his attack on our democracy. He said he wants to be a dictator on day one, and so much more. He tells supporters he is their revenge and retribution. When in God’s name you ever heard another president say something like that?” Biden said.

He continued, “And he promised a bloodbath when he loses again. We have to take this seriously. Eight years ago, you could’ve written [it] off as just Trump talk but no longer. Not after January 6. I’m sincerely not asking you to take sides, but ask you to rise up to the seriousness of the moment. Move past the horse race numbers, the gotcha moments.”

The president — who spoke at the event as pro-Palestinian protesters greeted attendees on their way in — made light of his predecessor on a number of occasions, labelling him “sleepy Don” and mocking debate around his age ahead of the election in November.

“I’m a grown man running against a six-year-old. Well, I feel great, I really feel great, I’m campaigning all over the country: Pennsylvania, Georgia, North Carolina, I’ve always done well in the original 13 colonies,” quipped Biden before the D.C. crowd.

He went on to tackle Trump’s take on the Battle of Gettysburg, which Trump described as “unbelievable” as well as “so much and so interesting and so vicious and horrible and so beautiful in so many different ways.”

“Quote, ‘Gettysburg, Wow,’” exclaimed Biden as the crowd giggled.

“Trump’s speech was so embarrassing, the statute of Robert E. Lee surrendered again.”

Biden would later give thanks to members of the press as he referred to Trump attacking journalists using his “enemy of the people” label.

“That’s wrong and it’s dangerous, you literally risk your lives doing your job, you do,” said the president, who later called for the return of journalists Evan Gershkovich and Austin Tice along with former U.S. Marine Paul Whelan.

Home Office to detain asylum seekers across UK in shock Rwanda operation

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news<wbr>/2024/apr/28/home-office-to-detain-<wbr>asylum-seekers-across-uk-in-shock-r<wbr>wanda-operation

The Home Office will launch a major operation to detain asylum seekers across the UK on Monday, weeks earlier than expected, in preparation for their deportation to Rwanda, the Guardian can reveal.

Officials plan to hold refugees who turn up for routine meetings at immigration service offices or bail appointments and will also pick people up nationwide in a surprise two-week exercise.

Lawyers and campaigners said the detentions risked provoking protracted legal battles, community protests and clashes with police – with officers in Scotland put on high alert.

Enver Solomon, the chief executive of the Refugee Council, said: “The government is determined to recklessly pursue its inhumane Rwanda plan despite the cost, chaos and human misery it will unleash. We know it is likely to cause a catastrophic system meltdown.”

Detainees will be immediately transferred to detention centres, which have already been prepared for the operation, and held until they are put on planes to Rwanda. Some will be put on the first flight due to take off this summer.

The Home Office said ratification of the prime minister’s Safety of Rwanda Act meant “the government is entering the final phase of operationalising this landmark policy to tackle illegal migration and stop the boats”.

Could this be it? Could this be the government finally getting its act together and fixing the country?

Let's be honest, probably not. Almost certainly this will be stopped at the last minute due to some bullshit legality which the government no doubt knows about already, but will use this as a fake demonstration of how they're tough on immigration despite not being able to do anything about it.

Imagine being a boomer who gets mad about immigration.

NYC judge: 2nd Amendment 'doesn't exist in this courtroom'

New York judge says 2nd Amendment 'doesn't exist in this courtroom' in ghost gun case
Lawyer says the judge instructed them not to invoke a constitutional right in trial of hobbyist gunsmith.

By Ian Miles Cheong | April 26, 2024 | News
New York judge says 2nd Amendment 'doesn't exist in this courtroom' in ghost gun casePublic Domain
A defense attorney claims that the New York judge overseeing the prosecution of a man charged with manufacturing homemade firearms, known as "ghost guns," barred any arguments invoking the Second Amendment right to bear arms.

Vinoo Varghese, the lawyer representing Dexter Taylor, said Judge Abena Darkeh explicitly told the defense, "Do not bring the Second Amendment into this courtroom. It doesn't exist here. So you can't argue Second Amendment. This is New York," the National Pulse reports.

Judge Darkeh, who has been criticized as a Bill de Blasio "DEI hire" who also serves as vice president of the Association of Ghanaian Lawyers of America, has been criticized by online commentators who have described her as a "diversity, equity and inclusion hire." She is accused of acting as "the most aggressive prosecutor in the room" and limiting the scope of Taylor's defense.

Taylor, a 52-year-old Black conservative who has discussed gunsmithing as a hobby on YouTube under the name "Carbon Mike," faces a potential sentence of 10 to 18 years in prison at his sentencing scheduled for May 18. Prosecutors have described him as having "acquired a massive arsenal of homemade ghost guns," while Taylor maintains he was merely assembling legal gun parts as a hobby and did not sell or distribute any firearms.

The defense argues that federal law allows unlicensed civilians to manufacture firearms for personal use only, under the Gun Control Act of 1968. They contend Taylor, who says he has a "squeaky-clean criminal record," did not even fire the guns he assembled.

The case has drawn comparisons to advice columnist E. Jean Carroll, who previously boasted about owning an unlicensed firearm before police confiscated it earlier this month. There is no evidence Ms. Carroll was arrested or charged with a crime.

How is this guy even being prosecuted, assuming that the gun receivers had their serial numbers and he legally bought them according to state and federal laws?

>>1291009

>>1291009
>How is this guy even being prosecuted, assuming that the gun receivers had their serial numbers and he legally bought them according to state and federal laws?
He didn't though. He violated state laws. Unconstitutional draconian laws, but yes, he did break the law. In New York, it's illegal to possess an unregistered firearm, or any firearm (including frames and receivers) without a serial number. The Jose Webster Untraceable Firearms Act and the Scott J. Beigel Unfinished Receiver Act make up the bulk of these laws. They deliberately use a lot of vague language and fail to define terms they've used, in order to muddy the law and make it unapparent in its breadth.

New York is sadly a shithole where the worst of firearms related crimes, the kinds we often see portrayed in movies and TV shows, actually occur quite regularly. New York has had to deal with criminal organizations selling guns out of gas stations, convenience stores, bars, last year they broke up a gun trafficking ring that provided same-day delivery to your door in Amazon packaging. These groups cater exclusively to violent criminals, and are often affiliated with local gangs. Some obtain or produce guns out of state specifically to be brought into New York for sale; there has been more than one instance of tracing back gun sales in New York to small operations in neighboring states where gang-members are 3D printing receivers for this purpose.

What a shit-hole New York is.

Except federal law trumps state law and federal law defines a "firearm" as the serial numbered receiver?

>>1291030
> federal law defines a "firearm" as the serial numbered receiver
That's not the case, in fact the feds don't give a fuck about serial numbers unless you're a manufacturer who produces and sells firearms. Not one fuck given, serial numbers do not matter in the US, even the ATF considers them a joke and admits that the vast majority of guns are "effectively" untraceable shortly after their initial sale. They don't require you to serialize a firearm unless you wish to transfer it, and even then you can legally approach a smith with the appropriate FFL in order to have a homemade firearm serialized.

NTA, but:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supre<wbr>macy_Clause
>The Supremacy Clause of the Constitution of the United States (Article VI, Clause 2) establishes that the Constitution, federal laws made pursuant to it, and treaties made under its authority, constitute the "supreme Law of the Land", and thus take priority over any conflicting state laws.
I assume the loophole argument being allowed here is that the federal government doesn't have any "applicable" law in this specific case and so state law applies; but there's absolutely no question that federal law has supremacy over state law.

>>1291035
NTA but marijuana and abortion laws prove states don't give a flying fuck about federal law as long as the feds aren't enforcing things.

>No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.

Even before the USA gained independence from Britain, there was widespread legal manufacture and use of firearms. In 1606, King James the First established that the colonies had the right to import necessary goods from Britain, including firearms and ammunition. The 1620 Charter of New England gave colonists the right “to take, load, carry, and transport . . . Armour, Weapons, Ordinances, Munition, Powder, Shott, . . . and all other Things necessary for the said Plantation, and for their Use and Defence, and for Trade with the People there.”

Gunsmithing was widespread and essential to early colonial life, and was a far reaching and established industry by the 17th century with laws in place to defend the ability to produce and sell arms and armor.

I'm just a history fag, I have no real contribution here.

>>1291075
neat. I was just doing the bruen test. per bruen for a gun law to be legal there needs to be a tradition of 3 or more laws regulating it in 1792, when the 2nd amendment was ratified or 1868 when the 14th amendment was ratified. This basically means only laws about guns on school grounds are legal. As you put it, until 2 or 3 years ago there literally weren't any regulations on building guns in your home for your own personal use and it was a tradition even pre revolution

>>1291075
The problem is it was completely unfeasible to confiscate weapons from the peasants in the founding of America. There were wild animals and hostile natives; everyone had to be armed. Coming from a completely conquered island where the only real threat comes from the government, it was a completely different world.

Now we've come to the point where America doesn't normally face the risk of wild animal or hostile native attacks; naturally the ruling elite want to go ahead and do away with the armed peasantry.

The problem is America isn't a tiny fucking island ruled by the crown.

The British didn't feel the need to revise their end of things until 1968, despite being a teeny tiny conquered island nation 850 years older than the USA.
The US has over 75x greater land-mass, 5x greater variety of native mammals, 5x the human population, and 1/8th the population density. Every year the USA sees over 47,000 cases of wild animal attacks wherein the victim seeks medical attention. (That is specifically wild animals, not pets or livestock, including those pushes the numbers past 3 million) The UK sees so few they fail to track the stats, estimates put it around 1/60th-1/100th the rate of the United States when considering population, so roughly 75-122 total per year. Being 60x-100x more likely to be attacked by a wild animal is good reason for an American to stay armed.

The USA has 5x the population of the UK and 4.8x as many homes. However, the UK has 1.36x as many hot burglaries, burglaries that occurs while the resident is home. 240,500 yearly in the UK versus 175,500 in the USA. That makes it about 6.6x more likely per household to experience a hot burglary in the UK, or roughly 6.8x more likely for a UK resident to be the victim of a hot burglary. You have a 119% greater chance of experiencing a hot burglary in the UK than you do a car theft in the United States.

There is a 1.5x greater chance of having your car stolen in the United States compared to the UK. However, the rate of vehicle thefts that do not result in recovery is 6.47x greater in the UK. The total number of vehicles stolen and never recovered in the USA yearly is around 50,000, versus 65,000 in the UK. For any given vehicle on the road, including passenger and commercial vehicles, there is an 8.78x greater chance of it being stolen and never recovered in the UK.

Shithole island of damp and regret. I have no argument, I just dislike the UK and know their citizens would be safer if their government allowed them their God-given right to arm themselves.

>>1291122
the major bong gun regs date back to the interwar period, not 1968. Granted there were gun laws pre WWI and as you are saying they got more strict in 1968 (weird how the US, bongland and aus all pushed stricter gun laws in the interwar period, late 60s and late 80s to early mid 90s).
Anyway the first real major anti gun bong law dates back to the interwar period because the bongs were worried the returning troops who were coming home from WWI with training and the market being flooded by cheap surplus rifles would result on bong men overthrowing the queen

>>1291122
>The British didn't feel the need to revise their end of things until 1968
I heavily disagree, friend. I'm pretty sure the common peasantry in Brittain during the 1700s didn't have a clue how to load and effectively use a rifle, let alone have one, whereas anyone coming to America either learned quickly or died. It's a very deep cultural difference, in my humble opinion.

They may have officially banned guns in the UK in the 90s, but it goes back much earlier than that.

>>1291122
>>1291124
unfortunately this. From what I've read read/heard even though there weren't really any gun regulations in bongland until the late 1800s and 1920s most bongs would not have owned or been trained to use a gun because they are all poor fucks so only soldiers and the rich would have been armed. You can see this in King Philips war where the bong farmers didn't show up with guns to the US and were getting btfo'd by the injins superior firepower they got from the frogs. US gun culture was largely formed as a response to injin attacks because without injins most farmers saw guns as something too expensive and unneeded to bother buying

>>1291124
>I'm pretty sure the common peasantry in Brittain during the 1700s didn't have a clue how to load and effectively use a rifle, let alone have one
Oh my nigga, no. Guns were prohibitively expensive worldwide in the 17th century, they only became accessible and more commonplace in the 1700s. The Brits were at war almost constantly from about 1680 until well into the 1800s. The Nine Years War, the American Revolutionary War, the Napoleonic Wars, they were raising armies of over 150,000-200,000 men throughout the 1800s. By the 18th century Britain was producing massive quantities of arms, they had far more gunsmiths and greater rate of production than the United States, and we wouldn't surpass them until late into the19th century after the American Civil War. They had a production rate of over a million guns yearly by 1815 with a massive rate of export, they were producing enough arms within the UK to arm every adult male citizen resident to the island yearly. The East India Company and Hudson Bay Company bought massive quantities of arms, either for export to colonies and foreign partners, or for their own use acting similarly to mercenaries at the behest of the British. They made so many guns that they were one of the most common commodities traded for slaves during the 19th century, often "cheap" arms that had relatively short lifespans. Their citizens had access to firearms not unlike Americans in the 19th century, and they were similarly commonplace for purposes of hunting, but admittedly would never see a similar rate of ownership for pretty obvious reasons considering what American life was like at the time.

tl;dr they cucked themselves by not buying guns even when they could actually afford them even more readily than the average American

>>1291129
I don't disagree with the numbers you're citing here, but I do think you're drawing the wrong conclusion. None of what you've said here indicates the "peasant" population of the UK had access to these weapons outside of the military. (under strict regulations from the government) And when soldiers came back from WW2 they were actively disarmed... for some reason.

Something like 40-50% of the population of the UK served in the military in WW2. (I'm trying to find solid numbers now, but that's hard) Only something like 9% of the population in the US served in WW2, as a comparison. Germany had ~30% serving.

TLDR: I believe all of the large scale firearm manufacturing you're referring to was under total control of the UK government and not the peasants.

Violent gun schizos crying and shitting their pants, yet again

>>1291132
that literally isn't what is happening in this topic jew

>>1291131
I see your point, I'm not differentiating between "familiarity" and actual ownership/usage of firearms. When there are numerous factory-towns dedicated to the production of firearms, and numerous related industries feeding firearms production, surely the average person would be "familiar" with firearms, but that certainly doesn't mean there was common ownership and usage even during periods when arms were said to be similarly available and affordable. It's been cited that they deliberately disarmed returning soldiers as early as the 18th century, and likely earlier albeit for economic reasons.

>>1291131
even if the majority of bongs were conscripted into the military in the 1700s there really was not that much in terms of firearms training at the time. it was something like they were only issued 30 training round per year

Did he not buy serial numbered receivers (i.e. the "firearm" as defined by the law)? If so, building a kit gun on a legally purchased serial numbered receiver is perfectly legal, unless something has changed that I haven't heard about?

>>1291451
He was MAKING the firearms, the receivers, without serial numbers. That's perfectly legal in the US, but New York has their own laws in place that make it illegal.

>>1291452
>That's perfectly legal in the US

Cite?

>>1291454
There isn't a law somewhere that says you can, sure as shit isn't one that says you can't. It is perfectly legal to produce a firearm in the USA so long as you are not barred from owning that firearm. For example, you can't make a full-auto rifle, because you can't legally own one without a tax stamp that they won't sell you, so you can't do it. You can make a silencer, short-barreled rifle, or other "regulated" item so long as you do the paperwork and pay for the tax stamp, almost the same as if you were purchasing one. If you can legally own a firearm, you can build that firearm. You absolutely do not need a serial number, serial numbers are for manufacturers. There's no actual requirement for a firearm to have a serial number, only that manufacturers add serial numbers, individuals do not have to give a shit. You cannot make firearms to sell them, that's manufacturing and does require a license. You cannot transfer an unserialized firearm, if you have a homemade gun that you decide later to sell (which is legal) or give away, you'll need a gunsmith to accept it as an unserialized firearm and give it a serial number. It may be possible to do your own serial number, I'm not certain, I've not looked into that specifically. State laws vary, notably New York and California, have their own laws that may inhibit your ability to legally produce a firearm, or may require additional considerations like a serial number, I think California does that. Americans have ALWAYS made their own guns, even before it was the USA we were specifically allowed by the British to import firearms and the goods required to produce, maintain, and operate them. (>>1291075)

There is an entire industry built around supplying individuals who make their own firearms, and 3D printing has made it more accessible than ever. Fuckloads of people in the US legally produce their own unserialized firearms.

You do not have to add a serial number or register the PMF if you are not engaged in the business of making firearms for livelihood or profit.

>>1291462
>There isn't a law somewhere that says you can, sure as shit isn't one that says you can't.
This is also correct. There aren't a list of laws that say what you're allowed to do. There's a list of things you aren't allowed to do, and the government has no authority to relate your activity outside of those specific things.

I'm pretty sure the GayTF still hasn't managed to define 80% receivers/frames as guns. If you start with an 80% it isn't a gun and you can finish it on your own. There is no federal law saying you need a serial number on a gun you made yourself and no federal law blocking you from making your own nonNFA guns for personal use. The only issue from a fed standpoint would be making machine guns/short barreled rifles or if you were making guns to sell them. Some guy in california was making ARs for felons and got away with it because the felon hit the button on the CNC machine and not him.
any regulations about making your own gun for personal use have only come about in the last 10 or so years in blue states who want to ban guns. And there is no fucking way this shit passes the bruen test because people have been making their own guns for all of US history. IDK if NY is exactly the same as NJ, but the NJ version of this law means you are a felon if you buy a black powder kit and build your own single shot musket/davey crocket rifle. That is how fucking retarded anti gunners are

Technically no, but realistically a judge can pull something like this with little or no consequences. The guy will have to appeal which will take a long time and he'll likely be in jail while that goes on. The state will fight the appeal because they are never wrong. Best case is that his conviction gets tossed. The judge will likely not have anything happen to her because she is doing what the NYC government wants.

Gov.Kristi Noem shoots puppy “less than worthless” and pet goat ''smells disgusting''

God is a wild, old dog Someone left out on the highway

S. Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R), who is being eyed as a potential running mate to Donald Trump, admitted to shooting and killing a puppy she called “less than worthless” — along with her “disgusting” goat — in her new book.

According to The Guardian, Noem’s unreleased book, No Going Back: The Truth on What’s Wrong with Politics and How We Move America Forward, details how her effort to train her aggressive female dog for hunting pheasant was unsuccessful.

The Republican leader said she can do anything “difficult, messy and ugly” if necessary. Noem explained how she had hoped the puppy named Cricket would prove to be an efficient hunter at a local pheasant hunt but things quickly got out of control.

 “I hated that dog,” Noem writes, adding that Cricket had proved herself “untrainable”, and “less than worthless … as a hunting dog”.

 “At that moment,” Noem says, “I realised I had to put her down.”

 Noem, who also represented her state in Congress for eight years, got her gun, then led Cricket to a gravel pit.

 “It was not a pleasant job,” she writes, “but it had to be done.”

The governor also wrote about how she killed a “nasty and mean” male goat because it had not been castrated.

She describes the goat as smelling “disgusting, musky, rancid”.

https://www.mediaite.com/news/krist<wbr>i-noem-reveals-she-shot-her-worthle<wbr>ss-puppy-dead-and-then-did-the-same<wbr>-to-her-disgusting-goat/

A dog's behaviour, more often than not, is a direct reflection of their owner.
esus christ. this chick is a literal psychopath.

she buys a dog that is bred specifically for hunting birds. the dog happens to like killing birds, shockingly. she doesn't train her dog, who by the way, is still a puppy and definitely trainable. she doesn't leash her untrained dog, and the dog kills someone's chickens. so she murders the dog for something that is completely (and I mean 110%) her own fault.
 then, right after the dog murder, she thinks "hey, while i'm doing pet slaughter here, i never really liked our goat." so she takes the goat to the place where she just killed the dog and murders the goat.
The details she omits possibly include hitting the dog to bring it under control. Cricket did not try to bite her for no reason.

This is the slut who's getting railed by Corey Lewandowski, right?<br>I'd say "Puppy Killing Whore" won't resonate well with voters if Trump picks her, but Trump voters have always been able to surprise me with the terrible people they'll get behind to own da libz.

>>1290325
And don't forget Kristi 'puppy murderer' Noem is a front runner to be Trump's VP

She always hated that puppy. Lmao at being less humanized than Cruella De Vil.

>>1290472
 Noem decided to kill the unnamed goat the same way she had just killed Cricket the dog. But though she “dragged him to a gravel pit”, the goat jumped as she shot and therefore survived the wound. Noem says she went back to her truck, retrieved another shell, then “hurried back to the gravel pit and put him down”.

 At that point, Noem writes, she realised a construction crew had watched her kill both animals. The startled(and frightened) workers swiftly got back to work, she writes, only for a school bus to arrive and drop off Noem’s children.

>>1290525
>she realised a construction crew had watched her kill both animals. The startled(and frightened) workers swiftly got back to work
And republicans want to keep psychopaths like Noem armed.

>aggressive female dog
Okay? What's the problem?
>boo hoo muh puppers
Work dogs are not the same as pet dogs. They are bred for a very specific purpose and can fuck shit up if they get out of control. Some dogs need to be killed for precisely that reason.
Arguably the worse thing she did was acclimate it to human affection. That's probably what fucked it up.

Which yeah, no shit, young, untrained animals bite when you try to take food away. This dumb animal could never own a cat. She'd shoot it for scratching her within a day. Imagine displaying less self-control than the animal you're putting down. Fuck's sake.

>>1290549

You are impressively bad at shitposting. And you don't understand the distinction between work dogs and pet dogs.

Training work animals IS animal abuse you fucking retard. They break them so that they commit to certain behaviors for the rest of their lives. e.g herding dogs are purposefully neglected by their owners so they learn to bond with sheep.

I was joking before, but you sincerely should never own an animal. You are profoundly unintelligent.

>>1290551
>The reality is that if she hadn't killed that dog, then someone else most certainly would have.

 Dan Lussen, a professional hunting dog trainer, commenting on the incident, said that a dog that age is a “baby that doesn’t know any better.”

 “To me, it’s a lack of guidance by the owner, or training by the owner, or discipline of the owner,” he says, explaining that young bird-hunting dogs in training often go through a slow process of introduction to dead fowl before even being around gunshots. “There’s a lot of steps that you take before you take it to a field and shoot birds over it. And then there’s obedience training. Does the dog know how to come when it’s called? Does the dog know how to sit and wait?”

Lazy dog owner, lazy dog trainer, lazy goat owner, then gets mad at both animals for being animals from her laziness, so she kills them…

It killed a chicken and then bit its master. Yeah, it gets put down. That's the world, stupid faggots.

My boss used to have a bunch of chickens and she had 3 little terrier dogs. Eventually one of the dogs decided to run down one of the chickens and rip it apart, and of course the other dogs joined in. All 3 of the dogs had to be put down. They wouldn't stop killing her chickens. It's a learned behavior that's very stimulating for them and practically impossible to break. They weren't big enough to be dangerous to adults, but there's nothing to say they wouldn't do the exact same thing to a small child if given the opportunity. You don't let animals like that stick around, endangering other farm animals or people.

>>1290586
it sounds like what happened here is that your boss is really bad at training dogs.

>>1290588
Maybe that's true, but I don't think that actually matters. Most people are really bad at training dogs, and some dogs are just not going to take training.

My dad "adopted" an ex-police dog from a shady source about 2 years ago. It was extremely well trained and he loved it, but one day his friend came over to visit and had a guitar case in his hand (my dad plays in a band) and the dog mauled the fuck out of his arm without any warning. We had to put the dog down. No amount of training is going to fix an animal that has already hurt a human.

I've had dogs my entire life and I'm almost 40. I've seen plenty of dogs get put down. Grow up faggots.

>>1290589
and did kristi get a dog from a shady source that accidentally mauled a man that the dog had been trained to be mauled? no. she acquired a puppy with an excellent pedigree (she's the fucking governor, you think she adopted a random mutt to be a hunting dog), did no training on it, told it to run around and chase birds without any training and then shot it after it caught one.

>>1290593
she had to shoot the goat twice because she's incompetent. it's one thing to shoot an animal that you, personally, have fucked up, and another thing to write about how this reflects well on you.

>>1290594
>she had to shoot the goat twice because she's incompetent.
Have you ever killed an animal? My best friend used to work for animal control back in the 90s and he put literally thousands of animals down. At least 10% of the time after injecting them directly in the heart they still wouldn't die and needed a second injection.

Maybe just quit talking about shit you don't know anything about, faggot. You'll look smarter, even if you aren't actually.

 She need to contact Biden on how to train a dog(at least Biden didn't take his dog to a pit and shoot it, even after 20 bites.....WTF!?).... the preceding was an attempt at humor

Virtually any animal will bite if you try to take its food as part of its feeding response. The lesson there is keep small kids away from animals being fed, not execute all pets.

wirehaired pointer, from www.akc.org
German Wirehaired Pointers
With his sporty weatherproof coat and can-do attitude, the noble German Wirehaired Pointer is a versatile, sturdy gundog who thrives on outdoor activity. Around the house, the GWP is an eager, affectionate, and amusing family companion
GWPs are very intelligent, responsive, and eager to please,

 so they are generally easy to train.

Early socialization and puppy training classes are recommended and help to ensure that the dog grows into a well-adjusted, well-mannered companion. The breed is smart, talented, versatile, and athletic and excels in a wide range of canine sports and activities.
German Wirehairs crave human companionship, and undesirable behaviors can result if they are regularly left alone for long periods of time.

A good fit for those looking for a loving companion who enjoys sports and togetherness.

play bite and the farm animals were chickens, which any untrained dog will do.

It was murdering the goat that got my goat.
Goats are sweet things,(unless there's a witch in the family) and their milk is delicious.

The goat just stank and it could have been washed.
She made up about the part about it bumping her kids.
She could have given it to any farm, but she wanted to shoot it. Fucking blood lusting psycho.

Shelters put down animals all the time cause they can't feed them all. And that's fucking fine. If there's nobody to take a dog and you can't care for it, that's the way shit goes.

On the flipside, if you can't care for a fucking dog, don't fucking get one, and don't execute it when you could be trying to find someone to give it to, or, failing that, giving it to a shelter. This isn't difficult.

To add if she got that dog from a breeder and I guarantee you she did she would’ve had to sign a contract saying that in the event she couldn’t care for it anymore that dog gets returned. She had many outs to the situation and I’m not saying you should treat a dog like they’re family if they live outside or shouldn’t shoot a dog if a life or your property is in danger but it’s medium sized, not a terrier type. And she didn’t say how hard it bit or the full story on that but those dogs are bred to have a soft bite. There were much better ways to solve the problem. Only the most callus would think what she did was cool or justified. Maybe the Midwest is fucking weird idk

Netanyahu & others face ICC arrest warrant for war crimes in Gaza

Anonymous

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/28/<wbr>world/middleeast/icc-arrest-warrant<wbr>s-israel-hamas.html
https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news<wbr>/2024-04-28/ty-article/.premium/isr<wbr>ael-scrambles-as-netanyahu-defense-<wbr>chiefs-face-possible-icc-arrest-war<wbr>rants/0000018f-2537-d0a5-abcf-37ff3<wbr>94f0000

The news shouldn't have surprised the attorney general's office: Karim Khan, the prosecutor at the International Criminal Court in The Hague, might issue arrest warrants against senior Israeli officials on suspicion of war crimes in Gaza.

The Justice Ministry and army lawyers are working hard to prevent that from happening.

Also, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer, the United States and other Western countries are striving to convince Khan to delay or prevent the issuing of warrants. But it's not clear that they're succeeding.

Israeli officials say they believe that the warrants will be served sometime this week against Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and the chief of staff of the Israel Defense Forces, Herzl Halevi. Officials below them would be spared.

In contrast to the International Court of Justice, which has been hearing the suit filed by South Africa against Israel, the ICC handles cases against individuals. Like the United States, India, China, Russia, Iran and most Arab countries, Israel recognizes the authority of the International Court of Justice but not the ICC.

If warrants are served, each ICC member state – there are 123 – is obligated to arrest and hand over the defendants to The Hague if they enter its territory. While there is no way to appeal an international arrest warrant, any country can theoretically tell the court that it is handling the case itself.

According to former Deputy Attorney General Roy Schondorf, the issuing of arrest warrants could lead to moves against Israel like an arms embargo or economic sanctions.

"These warrants would group Israel with countries that are considered transgressors against international law, and would come on top of all the other cases against Israel," Schondorf said.

Arrest warrants have never been issued against Israeli officials. But in March 2023, the ICC issued a warrant against Russian President Vladimir Putin as part of an investigation into possible Russian war crimes in Ukraine and his alleged involvement in the abduction of Ukrainian children to Russia. As a result, Putin can't visit countries where he thinks he might be arrested.

Also, in February, the Hostage and Missing Families Forum urged the ICC to prosecute Hamas leaders.

Some experts in international law say the attorney general and army lawyers are partly to blame for not doing enough to prevent Israeli violations of international law. But the Justice Ministry says the government and the security forces have received sufficient counsel. A key question is whether civilians have been harmed intentionally.

Prof. Eliav Lieblich of Tel Aviv University says that belligerent statements by Israeli politicians have not helped the Israeli cause.

For example, Israel Katz, now the foreign minister, demanded that the Gaza Strip's water supply be cut off because "that's what murderers of children deserve." And Diaspora Affairs Minister Amichai Chikli said the dropping of a nuclear bomb on Gaza was "an option" because Israel "must find ways to cause suffering in Gaza."

Lieblich says that such statements support arguments "that Israel intentionally harms, starves and expels civilians from Gaza, and is even trying to annihilate the Palestinians as a group." He notes that such statements played a key role in the lawsuit at the International Court of Justice.

Lieblich also notes the sense that the high command does not fully control the forces on the ground. "Almost every day, videos are surfacing online where soldiers are documenting improper conduct. This leads to distrust in officials' statements about the IDF acting in accordance with the laws of combat," he said.

Doreen Lustig, an assistant professor at Tel Aviv University, notes that the shooting at aid convoys, the destruction of hospital and university buildings, and especially the killing of World Central Kitchen aid workers have worked against Israel.

The experts say that thorough and independent investigations by the Israeli legal system should keep a lid on problems in the international arena, including possible arrest warrants.

In January, on the eve of the hearings at the International Court of Justice, Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara said she would address the cases where Israeli officials called for harm to Palestinian civilians.

A month later, Military Advocate General Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi said that Israeli soldiers had committed criminal acts whose damage in the international arena was "hard to overestimate."

Already that month, the IDF had begun investigating dozens of suspected violations of orders and international law. Also, the High Court of Justice is hearing a petition filed by rights groups demanding that Israel allow more humanitarian aid into Gaza.

Still, Lieblich believes that the efforts should have been greater after the comments by wayward ministers, and in cases of suspected mistreatment of Hamas members in custody.

Last week, the authorities said they were allowing U.K.-appointed observers to visit Palestinian prisoners, including members of Hamas' elite Nukhba force. This decision is linked to fears that arrest warrants will be served against Israeli officials.

Human rights lawyer Michael Sfard, a legal adviser to rights group Yesh Din, says the massive civilian death toll and destruction in Gaza raise suspicions that approval was carelessly awarded. Also, military prosecutors might lack the courage to investigate the IDF's open-fire policy, he adds.

"The army lawyers and the legal adviser to the government ... will have to provide a lot of explanations," Sfard said.

He says Baharav-Miara's refusal to investigate dozens of cases of suspected incitement to genocide, even after the issuance of interim orders at The Hague, forces the ICC to launch an investigation.

"The attorney general blatantly grants immunity to the troublemakers. It doesn't matter if this is due to negligence or fear of the people potentially being investigated, who are lawmakers, ministers and journalists," Sfard said. He added that Tomer-Yerushalmi, the military advocate general, was supposed to order an immediate investigation into the killing of the seven World Central Kitchen aid workers.

Schondorf, the former deputy attorney general, believes that the effectiveness of the legal advice depends on the cooperation of the political and military authorities.

"In this war, there is a fear that there is also an ideological element, stemming in part from the violation of the authority of the senior command by right-wing politicians," he said.

For its part, the Justice Ministry said that "the law enforcement system in Israel is committed to examining allegations of violations of the law. Decisions on investigations and prosecutions are made based on professional considerations, while exercising independent and impartial judgment."

The ICC has power. The power it wields is simply limited in scope. You can only be arrested by the ICC in countries that are signed on to it and people that cross them generally don't do a lot of international travel to said countries.

Fucking Israeli leadership does. Not saying they'd actually get arrested, but the warrant is would just be a permanent ban to a fat chunk of the world for them. It'd also fuck with diplomatic ties for them to those countries. Newsflash, Israel has close ties to countries like Germany and the UK.

And get out the popcorn if Israeli leadership acts untouchable and actually pushes their luck by going to a country they're wanted in.

Good, issue war crime charges against Netanyahu .As well as Ali Khamenei, Ismail Haniyeh Putin, Zelensky, Biden, Trump ....etc. Because they all have abused their authorities and committed massive civilian murders.

If the west abandons Israel, what's stopping them from then allying with Russia and China? China loves killing Uyghur muslims. Russia loves sending chechen muslims to their death in Ukraine. Israel would fit right into the new Axis.

You're not wrong or anything, but Israeli leaders being arrested would require the governments of any of those countries actually going through with arresting them which I highly doubt is going to happen (particularly in Germany lmao). The amount of blowback they'd receive from wealthy people (i.e. the true constituents of western liberal democracies and the only group within those countries with any semblance of representation) would not be worth the amount of good will they'd generate from the general population.
Unfortunately for liberal internationalists who believe in the ideal of international law (no, I'm not talking about TIJ, I mean neoliberals) Israel's acting with impunity is, imo, likely to be the death knell of the idea that international law is anything other than a facade for Lex Americana. Israel is doing the same kinda shit that got Gadaffi killed, but you will never see them face anything other than at worst a censuring. "International law" never existed and always required a hegemon (namely the US) to actually enforce it which essentially guarantees that as long as you're important to the right people, you can act with utter impunity. If international law is not applied equally (and it never really was) then it isn't "international law." It's "the law that everyone who is my geopolitical adversary must follow at the threat of death, but one which my friends and I can break without consequence." Like Osama, Mearsheimer and others have hinted at in the past: American support for Israel could be the biggest threat to the legitimacy of the American Empire's current international order (although I'd argue that it began more with Iraq/Afghanistan and is current being exacerbated by this among other things).

https://www.washingtonpost.com/nati<wbr>onal-security/2024/04/26/christina-<wbr>bobb-arizona-charges-rnc-election-i<wbr>ntegrity/

The Arizona GOP has selected state Sen. Jake Hoffman, a “fake elector” indicted last week and accused of working to overturn President Joe Biden’s 2020 win in Arizona, as a national committeeman for the Republican National Committee.

Hoffman — who was indicted Wednesday along with 17 other people, including former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani — was elected to the RNC post along with former state Rep. Liz Harris, who was expelled for reasons related to questioning Biden's 2020 victory in Arizona.

"I'm humbled and honored to have been elected as the next RNC National Committeeman for Arizona," Hoffman wrote Saturday evening on X.

"The road to saving America runs through our great state, and the RNC has a crucial role to play in supporting and empowering the Republican grassroots who fight every day against the Democratic Fascists," Hoffman added.

On Jan. 5, 2021, Hoffman, then days away from becoming a state representative, sent a letter urging Vice President Mike Pence to delay the counting of Arizona’s electors and to “seek clarification from the Arizona legislature as to which slate of electors were proper and accurate.” Hoffman himself was one of the 11 “alternate electors.”

Announcing the charges against Hoffman and others accused of being involved in the scheme, Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes, a Democrat, said in a recorded video released Wednesday, “These defendants deceived the citizens of Arizona.”

“The defendants intended that the false votes for Trump and Pence would encourage Vice President Pence to reject the certified Biden-Harris electors' votes regardless of the result of any legal challenge,” she added.

Along with Hoffman, the Arizona GOP also selected former state Rep. Liz Harris as a national committeewoman. Harris was expelled from the Legislature a year ago after she invited an election denier to provide testimony laced with unsubstantiated allegations at a televised legislative hearing on elections.

Jacqueline Breger, an insurance agent whom Harris invited to testify, claimed without evidence that a Mexican drug cartel bribed Gov. Katie Hobbs and Republican House Speaker Ben Toma and that “bribes and infiltration have been used to affect the outcome” of the 2020 and 2022 elections.

At the controversial hearing on Feb. 23, 2023, Breger claimed that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints “control[s]” government agencies and was “integral to the laundering activities.”

An Arizona ethics panel report found Harris “committed disorderly behavior” and damaged “the institutional integrity of the House” by inviting Breger. Harris was removed from office after 46 of the 60 members of the Republican-controlled House voted to expel her upon the release of the ethics panel report.

“These are not just your run-of-the-mill election deniers,” Barrett Marson, a Republican strategist in Arizona, said of Hoffman and Harris. “They are leaders in the whole experiment of election denialism.”

Marson said he believes Hoffman’s and Harris’ new gigs are indicative of the Arizona GOP’s transformation in recent years.

“I think it shows that both election denialism and a fealty to election denialism is now the state Republican Party in Arizona,” he said.

The Arizona GOP did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the selections of Hoffman and Harris.

Not "my" source, but the mainstream bullshit you were looking for anyway, I'm sure. Once a culture like that gets established nepotism obviously sets in. People like to hire people like them.

I caught on to the LDS-FBI link when that movie "Sound of Freedom" came out. I didn't realize LDS was the re-branded name for Mormons. I had a boss who was a Mormon when I was a teenager and heard him talk about his missionary work in Mexico. Tim Ballard was mormon; I believe he's been ex-communicated but I don't really care enough to follow the story.

It's a pity the FBI doesn't publicly release this easily obtainable information from their employees, eh? I guess we'll just "never know."

I do know LDS only represents less than 2% of the overall population and they represent a lot more than 2% of the FBI employees, and there's an implication that nobody likes (outside the church) hidden somewhere in there.

>>1291110
Why would they care? It's not like they can hire people based on religion.

https://dominicanewsonline.com/news<wbr>/homepage/news/breaking-news-domini<wbr>ca-high-court-rules-punishment-of-h<wbr>omosexual-acts-as-unconstitutional/<wbr>

The Dominica High Court has ruled that sections 14 & 16 of the Sexual Offences Act which punishes homosexual sex, is unconstitutional.

The judgement was made via Zoom this morning.

That decision makes the country part of a global community that recognizes the right of same-sex adults to have consenting sexual activities in privacy.

Cara Shillingford represented the Claimants, the Attorney General Office represented the Defendant, Joelle Harris represented the Bishop of Roseau (Catholic Church) and the Anglican Church, and Joshua Francis represented the Dominica Association of Evangelical Churches as intervening parties.

The ruling effectively decriminalizes homosexual sex in the country. The decision has far-reaching implications for human rights and the role of religion in Dominica.

The case was first brought before the court in 2022 by a gay man who sought to have two sections of the Sexual Offences Act (SOA) that criminalize consensual same-sex activities ruled unconstitutional. The case to end the criminalization of LGBT people in Dominica was supported by Minority Rights Dominica (MiRiDom) and the HIV Legal Network, working alongside the claimant who was not named because of risk to his safety, according to the claimants.

Under sections 14 and 16 of the SOA, sexual activity between consenting partners of the same sex is prohibited — offences that were first enacted in 1873, when Dominica was under British colonial rule. The man who launched claims to have faced “discrimination, hostility, and horrific violence” in Dominica because he is gay.

“Dominica’s 1978 Constitution guarantees the rights to privacy, protection from discrimination, liberty, security of the person, freedom from inhuman or degrading punishment, freedom of expression, and freedom of assembly and association,” declared MiriDom in a press statement issued when the matter was first brought to trial in 2022. “Sections 14 and 16 of the SOA violate these rights in numerous ways.”

Today’s ruling effectively makes Dominica a member of the global community recognizing the rights of same-sex adults to engage in consensual sexual activities without fear of prosecution.

Founder and Coordinator of Minority Rights Dominica (MiRiDom), Daryl Phillip, has called a press conference for later today to discuss the ruling.

Scottish First Minister resignation

A massive miscalculation from a man who just over a year ago became Scotland's First Minister.

https://www.bbc.com/news/live/uk-sc<wbr>otland-68918348

People at the time thought he wasn't up to the job and his time as Health Minister showed his genuine lack of ability to do the job. Quite why he walked away from the Bute House agreement with the Greens when he could have kicked the issue into the long grass was bizarre. Why he didn't game out that he wouldn't get help from the Conservatives, Labour or Alba, let alone the Greens to get any legislation through as a minority government let alone defeat a vote of no confidence just goes to show how incompetent he was to be able to do the job.

Article pasting is a laughably outdated "tradition" (not even a rule lmao), using that word loosely as nobody gives a fuck what the article says and also nobody gives a fuck about anything in general anymore.
