You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it! when you rob Paul to give to Peter ... ... ... you will always get Peters support! :Brieffromnativea: |
aloneamongus Cowherd User ID: 684965 United States 05/22/2009 11:27 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - Hard economic times have led to a drastic increase in cattle rustling across Texas and Oklahoma, and Arkansas could be next, warns Tom Troxel, extension professor of animal science for the University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture. More than twice as many head of cattle were stolen in Oklahoma and Texas last year as the year before, according to a trade organization. Law enforcers in South Dakota, Wyoming and Montana are also reporting cattle thefts. In Missouri, a recent rash of rustling, especially in the southwestern corner of the state has prompted the Missouri Farm Bureau to offer $5,000 in rewards to catch the thieves. According to the Missouri Cattlemen's Association, since 2004, more than 3,200 head of cattle have been stolen, along with some trailers, trucks and four-wheelers. "You may have thought cattle rustling was a thing of the past, a common theme in old western movies," says Troxel, "But nothing could be further from the truth." [link to www.cattlenetwork.com] |

Newsbeat's been told that thousands of pigs, sheep and cattle have been taken across the UK over the last year, as the price of meat becomes more expensive. interesting! I hadn't thought about how attractive stealing farm animals may be to thieves, but like the person from the US Cattlemen's Association said, "you just go down the road and you can grab cows..."

Holy Bat Shitman! User ID: 683491 United States 05/25/2009 01:44 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Current law punishes cattle thieves with a third-degree felony, which is punishable by as much as 10 years in prison and a fine of as much as $10,000 if they steal more than 10 head of cattle, horses or exotic livestock. Under the bill approved Tuesday, any theft of cattle, horses or exotic livestock would be a third-degree felony. The bill would also make it a third-degree felony to steal more than 10 head of smaller livestock such as sheep, goats and pigs. Current law requires a theft of more than 100 head of sheep, goats or swine before it is a third-degree felony. The Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association applauded the House vote, saying that though Texas is the largest cattle producer in the nation, it is more lenient on cattle theft than neighboring states. The association says rustling is on the rise and cattle raisers reported 6,404 thefts to the association in 2008, more than twice as many as in 2007. The Senate has already passed the bill. It now heads to the governor for consideration. Dozens of them. Armed to the teeth. I'm outnumbered. Outgunned. But the alley is crooked, dark, and very narrow. They can't surround me. Sometimes you can beat the odds with a careful choice of where to fight. [link to batshitman.mybrute.com] |
