119.0. "taking a collection" by NAAD::GERMANN () Mon Jul 22 1985 09:47

I was listening to WBZ on the way to work this morning (for 1.5 hours,
but that is another story).  Dave Maynard is taking up a collection for
a reward to be given to anyone who provides information that leads to the
finding of a very sick person.  It seems that someone in Boston or the
environs took an elderly lady's cat and murdered it.  Then that person
butchered the cat and left it on the lady's front steps.  A number of
people are very irate.

It seems that we at DEC could contribute to this collection.  The deed
that was done should anger all cat owners and, actually, anyone who
cares about people.  That cat was the companion of a sick, elderly lady.
I am outraged!!!

Can we begin a collection to add to Dave Maynard's?  I would contribute
$10 at least.

Great, but how do you make the contribution?  Do you have the
address at WBZ where it would be sent?

    I know I'm quite a bit late reading this note file but I'm a rather
    new VAX notes reader.  I heard this same gruesome story on WBZ and
    was outraged also.  The reason I mention this now is that a few
    weeks ago on WBZ a caller asked Dave Maynard if anyone ever found
    out who did that to the woman's cat.  Dave said nobody was every
    found and also, that another cat in the same area (I think it was
    Roslindale) had the same thing done to it - all four legs cut off
    and it was left on the doorstep of the owner.
    
    I've been hoping to hear that the S.O.B. that did this was found
    and I believe in a "leg-for-a-leg" in that person's case!
