POISONING CATS?
Sacha wrote: ************************************************** ******* To state to others that they are vermin is not only misleading but in your case it is downright dishonest and if someone chose to take it far enough, could even be actionable. ************************************************** ******* I'm not interested in joining the debate about cats, but I strongly believe that the statement above is just plain wrong at best. It would not be possible to raise a successful action against someone who called cats vermin in a newsgroup. Indeed. I feel, though, that pointing out that deliberately hurting or killing other people's pets is wrong was a worthwhile thing to do. Except that I wasn't talking solely or even mainly about Mike telling people here that cats are vermin. I *was* talking about someone reading his stupid assertion, believing it, acting upon it by putting down poison for cats to pick up, the cat/s dying and the possible legal consequences of *that* both upon the poisoner and upon Mike who has given the wrong information deliberately and perhaps encouraged an illegal action. The sentence above (between the asterisks) is pretty clear. It starts with a capital "T," and finishes with a full stop, and most certainly states that the actionable offence is stating that cats are vermin. Can't you just salvage a little dignity by admitting that you were angry and got it wrong? Martin --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
