Hahaha! Bravo Dipfish, that's the spirit!
I'll readily admit that I didn't think you had the stones to reply at all and that I'm impressed you did. Then again maybe this means you're a bigger 'tard than I thought since I have you dead to rights, and you're still a dumbshit that has absolutely no phucking clue what you're talking about but at least you're not a spineless coward. Maybe there's still hope for you yet. At least you got a little fight in you.
Technically you're still my bitch because you haven't posted up whatever law it is you've been yammerin' about. Isn't it funny that I'm still the only one on this thread discussing laws to cite actual laws? For a guy trying to follow the rules you're doing a piss poor job. You can't even cite the law you're still preaching about.
Goldfish wrote:As for the law, it was a city law, not state, and not Minneapolis I guess. My bad. But that cities rules now list them as unsocial stray cats, being a stray cat it is a cat which as you found and shown everyone is defined as a companion animal and as such, harming is a felony.
My bad??? Yeah, no shyte. You're a dick. Lying about some fictional law you made up and trying to scare people into thinking a legal practice they might have engaged in is not only illegal but the charges for it have been upped to a felony is a giant dick move. After getting called out and not being able to produce any information about said law besides some city somewhere in the state enacted it at the urging of some unnamed animal nut you still keep up the bit, which is another total dick move.
This is one of those moments where you think the other guy is a dick but guess what? I'm not the dick, you're the dick. All I'm doing is stopping you from continuing to be a dick and I've done so by citing actual laws that support what I'm saying and then gone on to explain them. And yes, it takes a lot of words to illustrate the depths of your stupidity. That's not on me.
There are two ways you can end this. The first is you post the law you're claiming exists, as in the actual law and not more bullshyte backpedaling. The other is to just admit that you don't know what the phuck you're talking about. Choosing to do neither is just another total dick move in a long line of dick moves you've been making.
I like it when you type more....it increases the exceedingly retarded things you say. Like how you're claiming some city in MN made up a new legal definition for cats and made harming one a felony....
....this notion isn't just stupid it is impossible. Municipalities can't just pass whatever ordinance they want and make up new legal definitions and they sure as shit can't decide to adopt felony penalties for violation of said ordinance.
Federal>State>County>City
That is the order in which laws can't be superseded by the level of government below them. Cities are allowed to pass ordinances---that's what laws created by cities are called by the way---that typically focus on public health and safety. Depending on the size of the city the state will grant them different charters varying in their authority to pass ordinances in order to govern themselves.
Like most big cities the one you live in (Minneapolis) has it's government organized under a home rule charter, giving them more authority than cities with lesser charters. It still doesn't give them the authority to supersede state law.
One ordinance that received a lot of attention in recent years due to a 2013 amendment was
Title 4 of the Minneapolis Code of Ordinances, Chapter 67. Managed Care of Feral Cats. For some reason a fair amount of idiots that don't know their head from their ass, like yourself, made somewhat of a stink about this amendment as a perceived animal rights takeover. I'm pretty certain that this is the basis for your fictional law rolling around in that cavernous area inside your skull where your brain should be.
Prior to this amendment it was illegal in Minneapolis to feed a stray cat and the city annually spent hundreds of thousands of dollars of their taxpayer's money trapping and euthanizing feral/stray cats. Now if you want to give some food and water to a stray that's been coming around you're not breaking the law. The city also endorsed a trap-neuter-spay program instead of euthanizing. It's important to note they "endorsed" it, they by no means passed a law that would stop them from killing a shitload of cats whenever they felt they needed to.
Dipfish, I'm going to paint the picture here so you might be able to put that information into context with the crap your saying,
Minneapolis, the largest and most liberal city in MN by a long shot, had a management program for feral cats that made it a crime for any citizen to feed one and they employed a team of people to kill cats. These people clocked into work on the city of Minneapolis payroll with the goal of killing as many cats as possible that day, and each and every other day after that. They killed cats by the thousands every year citywide.
That's how much the most liberal city in the state cared for their cats....by employing a team to kill as many of the little motherphuckers as possible.....that's the degree of protection the most liberal city gave them....to where it was a big deal when it's residents were legally allowed to throw a stray some scraps and not spending a lot of money to mass execute them.
Yet, you're telling me that in some city that's most likely far less liberal that you can't remember the name of....stray cats are protected to the point where it's a felony---a phucking felony---for harming one???
In addition to that this city can somehow just make up whatever laws and penalties it wants, effectively making it the most powerful legal body in the country with no checks or balances whatsoever. So it's hypothetically possible that in the future some guy serving hard time in the pen when asked what he's in for could be like,
"I was passing through [Dipfish, MN] one Tuesday afternoon and needed to stop for gas. While I was still at the pump a bunch of cops swarmed in and threw me to the ground and cuffed me. Apparently the city passed an ordinance that made it a felony to wear blue jeans on Tuesdays and there I was standing out in the open with my favorite pair of Levi's on so I was phucked before I even knew it."
I really can't wait for you to remember the name of this city. I want to learn more about it because it sounds like a fascinating place.
