What do you mean, 'get it by mistake'..  usually no mistakes made.  They
just get them.... any "them" will do.

There was a nice expose' on duck *shooting* (note: nothing 'hunting' like
about it) on the Animal Hospital program last night.  I believe it is a
fairly high rating show.  Hopefully it will bring the issue out for more of
the general type public to take note of the atrocity that takes place.  I
take my hat off to the elderly gentleman, at the wetland featured, that
instantly put $50.00 towards the fine the police issued a young rescuer for
being on the wetland.  Turns out he is a veterinarian also pee'd off about
what happens but as he is crippled cannot take a more active role.
