    Right,

    dogs, several of them, some proved fragile creatures. There were a number of them, all with the same name, Bo-bow. Rattlesnakes got one, and I never found two, but I'm sure a lion took another. A lot of people here don't realize how many lions there are in the mountains, just two miles from the center of the town I live in. When I go to a local store there are always people putting up these 'have you seen' posters, with the picture of a Fluffy or Fido. I don't have the heart to tell them that most likely a lion took them. This country can be a bit hard on some animals, and of course the unprepared and those not self aware. I think last year about 200 people perished in the desert, not sure what the headcount is up to this year?

    Just remembered one dog was killed when a horse kicked him in the head, and another was strangled by a lawn chair during a dust storm. Strangest thing, somehow he got his neck caught between aluminum supports for the legs. I had another dog that was afraid of birds, I think he was killed somehow, but I went out of town for a few weeks, and when I returned my wife told me she had given him to someone. I just figured that was her euphuism for ‘another dog got killed,’ and didn’t ask any questions. I know we had a couple more but can’t remember how they went?

    Ye Gods.

    All of my pets lived to a ripe old age.

    Nothing to contribute on slinging, but I remember the site Foot posted coming up before. It's good.

    Don't worry I'm now operating safely in a field, and I'm just curious I have no intention of using it in anger.

    Hehe, that's rather funny since most people kill other people intentionally with guns/blade weapons. It'd be a deplorably laughable situation for someone to be intentionally killed by a sling.
