quote: MAFIA ORDERS HIT ON CAT (Sky) The notoriously ruthless Russian mob is believed to have ordered a hit on a cat. Rusik, Russia's only sniffer cat, was run over and killed by a car, the Daily Telegraph reports. The feline crime-fighter had been the scourge of caviar smuggling gangs. The cat was used by customs officials to sniff out sturgeon row concealed in cars at checkpoints on the lucrative smuggling route between the Caspian Sea and Moscow. The Russian black market in caviar is estimated to be worth over £1bn and has provoked bloody feuds between powerful criminal gangs in the past. It is believed that Rusik was targetted after his prowess was first made public last week. Rusik had once discovered caviar in the car that hit him. He first came into the possession of Russian customs officials last year when he wandered into a checkpoint as a stray kitten. Police officer Sergei Kovalenko said his talent quickly became apparent: "One day Rusik just leapt into the boot of a passing car at the checkpoint and immediately sniffed out some sturgeon." "After that, we decided to use him all the time."

quote: .... (UPI) Rusik's demise was just the latest blow to Stavropol's crime-fighters. Another cat, Barsik, succumbed a few weeks ago after eating a poisoned mouse.

More importantly, how the hell do you walk a cat? In my experience, once you put a leash on them, all you can do is drag a cat.

Why was the cat on a street someplace where he could be run over?

I really like cats

But then again, caviar smuggling shouldn't be illegal, so I can see the smugglers' point.

The reason caviar smuggling is illegal is because the beluga stugeon is an very endangered species. Or don't you believe in protecting endangered species?

I say we intorduce DF to an endangared species of our choosing and allow them to debate the issue towards a full concluiosn. I say we chose a Siberian Tiger as the other participant.

If one person owned all the land in the world he'd have a perfect right to through the entire human species into the ocean and you'd be okay with that.

Bullshit. Murder is wrong, even when done on your own property.

It wouldn't be murder. If they choose not to swim, that's their own fault.

IIRC there was a time when you argued that you had the right to shoot police officers if they ever tried to come onto your property. Or was that just a lot of talk?

So one private party has the right to wipe out a resource he doesn't own on property that's not his? Interesting interpretation.

I got two cats. One is very much a Dog-cat, he'll come when called, fetch, even walk with you (with a harness)

The other, B*tch Kitty from Hell, doesn't respond to any commands, whether they be " Come", "stop", "Mary stop it", "FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST STOP!"

The Russians are very good at training cats. I've seen videos of trained Russky felines doing all sorts of tricks, jumping through hoops, walking tightropes, and the like. Must be a secret technology the USSR developed back when they were feverishly researching ESP during the Cold War.
