How did he make enough money to buy those Hawaii and Vegas homes? Al Capone was only convicted of tax evasion, never the other stuff that everyone knew he did.

So he says he takes/trains problem animals. Sheriff says he can legally put down ones he deems a safety concern. Is he just taking any dog, then making it mean, …

what is ridiculous is worrying about a tiny bit of pollution and the gentrification of Arcata.

Not the way they do it today in modern facilities. If you are talkiing how they do it in 3rd world countries, perhaps, but the fact is it IS NOT …
