Mark,
Last summer, I visited a paper-mill in Louisiana where there were several strays around. I tried to feed some and the rent-a-cop who was a young, twenty-something with "prettiest girl in town syndrome"
tried to kick one of the cats so as to scare it away from the food.
I informed little Miss rent-a-cop that if she hurt that cat, I'd file charges for animal cruelity and prosicute her to the fullest extent of the law.
As it happened, I got another driver to adopt the cat and they're doing fine together.
Question:
If you see such an instance occuring, just how far can a citizen go to protect an animal from another abusive citizen, generally speaking. Can you use the same force to protect the animal as you would yourself?
