suppose I did leave the who, and what out but I suppose I
could compare to squirrels, raccoons, rabbits, bears, and turkeys (all
of which make good pets) but wander around unmolested by the laws of
man as well. I did watch a my neighbor's cat here in North Pole
get the crud beat out of it by a ptarmigan (a cool looking northern relative of
prairie grouse and Alaska State Bird). The cat tried to eat one of
the hen's chicks, the hen proceeded to poke the left eye out of the cat and
scratched it up as well. I can report that four of the six chicks
made it to adulthood. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>
