A vampire bat came flapping in from the night covered in fresh blood and parked himself on the ceiling of the cave to get some sleep. Pretty soon all the other bats smelled the blood and started hassling him about where he got it. He told them to leave him alone and let him get some sleep.
However, they persisted until he finally gave in. "Okay, follow me," he said as he flapped out of the cave with hundreds of bats behind him.

Down through a valley they went, across a river and into a forest of trees. Finally he slowed and all the other bats excitedly milled around him.
"Now, do you see that tree over there?" he asked. "YES, YES, YES!" all the other bats screamed in a frenzy.

"Good," shouted the bat, "because I didn't!"

Everyone is helping in their own way. 🎶it’s the circle. The circle of liiiiiife🎶

I met a girl who rescues raccoons, rehabs them, and then releases them about a half mile from my mom’s farm where she has chickens. I was out to dinner with my wife and a group of people, and the girl started explaining that everybody in the area knows her as the raccoon rescue person. If a raccoon is trapped, hurt, or orphaned, people call her. She takes them home, rehabs them, and releases them on a little piece of public land. So naturally, I asked where she releases them. Turns out it is right next to my mom’s house.

That is when my eyes got big and I started smiling, because me and my brothers are constantly at my mom’s farm trapping raccoons that are killing her chickens. I was just about to say, “That’s funny, because I think I know where some of your raccoons are ending up,” when my wife grabbed me under the table, gave me one of the nastiest looks I have ever received, and whispered, “Shut up.” As far as I know, she is still saving raccoons, releasing them by my mom’s farm, and we are still over there catching raccoons that are trying to eat chickens. It might be the most awkward wildlife-management circle of life I have ever been involved in.

The word “besieged” is not used enough. I used it yesterday on a whole bowl of plums.

The law seems a bit vague, but I think we are allowed to tranquilize and relocate “furries” as long as we don’t leave the county of capture.
