[FEL-L] insurance for big cats response, for Gray, etc.

[Light-Tech, Inc.]

Did you also know that ALL cats that have attacked humans drank water?
A very compelling statistic as well.  I think we should ban drinking
water!  It obviously makes cats more dangerous.

 

A more likely connection would that be owners of declawed big cats, get
closer, are more physical with the animal and tend to take chances one
would not take with a fully armed cat.  Thus leading to increase
incident of injury.

 

Injuries are almost always the result of behavior of the people.

 

Inversely it is likely that people with clawed cats are more cautious
and engage in less risky behavior.  The claws are like a barrier that
keeps you away from the things that can really hurt you.  Assuming that
Declawing makes a cat more dangerous is silly.  That's like saying cars
are more dangerous when equipped with seatbelts.  Or riding a motorcycle
is more dangerous with a helmet.  Both can affect the persons
willingness to take risk, but when behavior around the animal is a
constant no claws = less chance of injury. (However minor)

Well... while this is actually a side-issue.... statistics can be
misleading.... if most people are declawing big cats, wouldn't that
figure that most attacking cats are declawed? That's just like driving
white cars. If more people drive white cars than other colors, a greater
number of traffic fatalities will occur in white cars. It's just overall
statistical probability. Similar to "all serial killer have eaten white
bread, ergo white bread contributes to people being serial killers"...
skewed statistical analysis. Though that's just my observations on that.

Nope on the insurance, that was not me that was trying to do the
insurance. You must be thinking of that guy Larry Bucks in NY.

As for being mean, well Jan's known for her undignified approaches in
the past as well. And I didnt say she was the whore, I said that she
whored her cats out to be worked by others.

On the proof of de-claws referenced on big cat attacks, I'll break them
down and mail them in the AM. Only a hand full had claws, very very few
from the past 20-or so years of big cat attacks.

WOW, That was one mean and nasty email Brian. Of course I dont believe a
word of it.

Jan has been a wonderful asset for me in my ongoing learning about wild
cats
these last 12 years. Im sorry you are so bitter towards her. I have
never
bought a cat from Jan nor has she bought one from me. But she has ALWAYS
been there to answer questions for me all these years and has never once
asked for anything in return.

A whore of mutilated big cat? I DONT THINK SO.By the way. Weren't you
the one that was trying to get the liability
insurance for animal people. What ever happened with that if it was you?
