Retired and enjoying the never-ending Saturday.
Looking after 8 (sometimes more) feral/community cats plus my housecats.

I'm right there with you. I had an asthma attack this morning. Fortunately, I my inhaler which works well.
The corticosteroids that doctors tried didn't work.
It's better than when I was a child. Asthma was treated as some kind of moral weakness and treated with suppositories.

We fed them, too.

I tried a paid trapper who rehomes raccoons. He put out his traps, baited them and then never came back - not even when I told him something had eaten his bait and one of the traps had blown into the creek.
These days, I just let the raccoons eat. They don't fight with the cats, so I'm good.

The POTUS (Nixon) tried to have the guilty parties prosecuted. The guard closed ranks and the FBI never had enough evidence to charge anyone. Both AG Mitchell and Nixon were livid over that.
That's a big difference between Trump and Nixon.

An unidentified person on site. Probably an officer or NCO.
In fact, it could have been anyone.
High-stress situation, soldiers told to shoulder arms, inadequately trained troops...
It was tailor made for *anyone* to start the killing.

A more recent analysis of the recordings seems to reveal that someone did, indeed, give the order to fire.

I may buy a trap from Amazon. $35 for the same trap the HS uses.

The local humane society runs a no-kill shelter. They stopped doing TNR because their vet left. When they can get a local vet to cooperate, they try to do a TNR. Mostly, though, they rely on people like me to trap the animals and bring them in.
The 5 I dropped off on 5/19 are still there.

I've been trying to get the humane society to do a TNR for more than 8 months. They'll *rent* me traps so I can catch the cats myself.

This morning, at breakfast time, there were 7 kittens and 4 adults in the shed.
Plus 5 kittens and 9 adults in the house and garage.
Outside, add in at least 2 adults.

Wasn't Tukhachevsky accused of plotting to use the Mayday parade to gather forces in Moscow for a coup?
