I read the article, and I could have written that letter to the editor (but
didn't...they were my exact sentiments).

Which predator out their is not "vicious"? I can just picture a non-vicious
bobcat encountering an elderly snowshoe hare..."Right, ol' chap, would you
mind just tilting your head back a little...yes, yes...now, off to one side
just a smidge...no, the other side...yes that's it. Now, be a good ol' sport
and take a deep breath, concentrate on your toes...keep a firm grip, I don't
want to be scratched now, and it'll help deal with what I'm hoping will be
just a teensie bit of discomfort before you don't feel a thing any more."

Randy
