In another forum, I mentioned a couple got arrested in MN for abusing a goat. The charge was that they were transporting it in the trunk of a car here in southern MN.
There is more to the story - the goat was painted purple & there was some football references, and the car broke down & was in a Jiffey Lube hoist for an hour.
But, as much as I looked intot he story, the whole basis for the fine was that the goat was being transported in a car trunk. I read specificialy that the painting was not a problem. And I agree sitting in the trunk for an hour as happened at the repair place was not the best; but maybe the Jiffy Lube people that called athorities were as much at fault for that as the owners - what do the owners do after it's on the hoist?
I just never could make sense of that story. I allow as there coulda been issues, but just transporting a small critter in a trunk - that was common when I was a kid, everyone brought calves to the salesbarn & took them home in a cartrunk, no one was tramatized any more than any other transportation method?
A fella shot his dog in my state too. He was fined/ jailed. His issue was doing the deed in his townhouse or some such, shooting off rounds in a city neighborhood - yea there can be problems. But one of the charges that stuck was abusing his dog as well, for shooting it. I understand some issues in this, and I understand looking into how he treated the dog perhaps - but shooting an animal dead seems as humane as any other way? How'd that turn into abuse?

While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
