QUOTE: Originally posted by JOdom The next little town up the road from my hometown has a chicken-processing plant, and the ex-SAL Savannah, GA to Montgomery AL line. The catch crews catch the chickens in the grower houses at night, put them in cages and load them on flatbed 18-wheelers so the chickens can be waiting at the processing plant when the first shift comes to work. Early one morning many years ago a flatbed driver was crossing the RR on the way to the plant and for whatever reason didn't stop for an oncoming train. You guessed it, train obliterated the flatbed trailer and scattered chickens both in and out of cages over a considerable area. The cleanup crew never did catch all the chickens; the local cats ate well for a few days.

So do I! He would grab a stray cat and head for the nearest railroad line, secure the cat to the rail and leave it for an oncoming train to run over. Of course I would do the same thing, only I would use a hammer and four large nails!! But in truth, as much as I hate cats, I could never bring myself to be that cruel to an animal. You could imagine the stink that would result with a dead cat rotting in the sun!!
