Melissa Marcrum

Fresno, CA - Oh, how I hate this woman. Melissa Marcrum, 35, was with her family watching the Super Bowl on SundaySunday reviews. She is also the owner of a 70-pound Pit Bull named Kane. One of the people at the family gathering was her 13-year-old nephew, who happened to be terrified of the dog. Marcrum thought this was pretty hilarious, and her stupid, drunk ass decided to terrorize the kid by ordering Kane to attack him.

San Francisco - While some of you bitched and moaned about the hassles brought on by the holidays and all of the aggravating things it brings…travel, shopping, and of course, family. At least you didn’t get mauled to death by a tiger on Christmas.

While everyone has heard of this by now, I had not posted anything about it as it had not been deemed any type of crime. But things are a changin’ and I figured I would go ahead and get this up so it can be followed on the site. For those of you who only read this site and live under a rock, a tiger at the San Francisco zoo escaped its enclosure on Christmas and killed 17-year-old, Carlos Sousa Jr., and also mauled two brothers who survived their injuries.

The question is how in the hell did this tiger, named Tatiana, get out of its habitat. It has been reported [Read more...]

62-year-old Dale Rippy was rolling his garbage cans to the back porch when he was confronted with a snarling, 25-pound bobcat. The bobcat lunged at Rippy, sinking his teeth into his abdomen and wrapping its body around Rippy’s it’s claws slicing his arms and legs. So Rippy, a Vietnam vet, grabbed the bobcat around the neck and choked it to death.

“He went limp, and I’m standing there holding him by his neck,” he said. “I was bleeding everyplace.”

Two days later, test come back showing the bobcat had indded been rabid. AnimalAnimal reviews services credit Rippy for his quick thinking and whose actions probably saved someone from future injuries or worse.

“We give this guy a lot of credit for what he did,” said Denise Hilton, animal services manager for Pasco County Animal Control. “The man was definitely using his head when he did that. If he let the cat go, we could have had more victims.”

I’m sure everyone has heard of the story by now, and 11-year-old boy is camping with his family when later that night, a black bear rips open the tent he is sleeping in and drags him out into the forest while still in his sleeping bag. The parents heard the boy screaming but were not able to locate him and thought that it was an abduction. The boys remains were found 400 yards away and the bear that was later killed was confirmed as the bear involved with the attack. This is also the first bear-related death for Utah.

The crazy thing is that a family that was in the same spot the day before were also harassed by a bear, with the bear actually ripping open a tent and taking a bite out of a pillow. Luckily, no one was injured in that confrontation, but that family is wondering why the family of the slain boy was not notified of a bear having been in the area.

The entire story is horrific for me for a couple of reasons. One being that this is just a horrific way to die. Second being I have a son the same age and I couldn’t possibly imagine losing him like this. I would literally go bat-shit insane. I would probably spend the rest of my life living in the woods with a death wish, slaughtering all bears I track down. Eventually, I would kill a bear sneaking around a campsite in which the family would not only be grateful, but would also have sympathy for me and what I have went through. They would attempt to change me from my rampage on the bear population and put down my pipe bombs and learn to live again and perhaps to love?

Lots of info
