  • and the family sues the department for everything they have.

    Unfortunately, the law generally doesn’t recognize ‘pain and suffering’ or ‘emotional anguish’ damages in cases involving death/injury to an animal. Generally, courts view animals strictly as property, so it would be taken as a ‘damage to property’ case, and damages would be limited to the replacement value of the donkey. Maybe also the cost of disposing of the body. Not sure what baby miniature donkeys go for these days, but it can’t be more than a few thousand at most. And that’s if the court agrees that shooting the donkey was unreasonable and unnecessary … which I wouldn’t hold my breath on – they tend to side with the cops most of the time.












  • And if the scientists tried hard enough, they could probably figure out the large ears, too – the skull would have slightly stronger muscle attachment points and vasculature openings to support the larger ears … although that still wouldn’t really tell the scientists what shape the large ears were, though. So you might still get a very odd-looking bunny out of it.


  • For the most part, not really.

    These bills were withdrawn from the bank by Person A, and later deposited in a different bank by Person B, who is a flea market vendor (you know this because financial records and other transactions already tie them to the flea market organizers). You can reasonably infer that Person A attended the flea market in the intervening time period and bought something worth that amount from Person B.

    It would only start to become difficult to track when multiple person-to-person cash transactions are done in a row – as in the case that Person B spent the cash on drugs from his drug dealer instead of depositing it in his bank account.

    In my girlfriend’s current job, all PTO always expires on January 1st, no matter how old it is, no matter how much or how little you have saved up.

    Which is just fucking madness.

    • If you want to take a vacation in the springtime? Go fuck yourself. Nobody can take a substantial vacation in the early months of the year because nobody has accrued very much PTO yet.

    • If you want to take a vacation in the summer (as many people do), you can only ever use about half of your yearly PTO for it, so if she wants to go on a summer vacation, she’s limited to about 1 week instead of the 2 weeks she supposedly gets. A full 2-week vacation could only ever be taken in December.

    • Pretty much everybody there will have some PTO wasted, because even if you earned that PTO on December 31st, it sill expires on January 1st. The only way you could theoretically use up all your PTO is if you had one day’s worth left and took December 31st as your day off.

    And add to all of that bullshit, they still do the other bullshit of having to pretty-please request PTO, which the bosses will often deny because they’re (deliberately) understaffed and apparently incapable of operating the business at all if they’re missing even one employee. And even worse on top of that, their management structure is very shitty and every manager always wants to pass the buck – there isn’t just one person she needs to get permission from: she needs to ask at least 4 different managers, including the company owner, and they all need to agree on the schedule for time off.
