Carlos Kleiber, 74; Brilliant, Reclusive Conductor. Carlos Kleiber, a conductor of tremendous mystique who had the uncanny ability to animate the smallest details in a piece of music yet whose personal elusiveness made him one of the most enigmatic stars of the classical music world, has died.
First of all, it's not illegal to kill a cat or a dog as it's an unfortunate reality for the ones who end up at the humane society or are put down due to illness. Animal cruelty however is illegal and most states have statutes w/ minimum punishments for those caught and convicted.
It is legal to shoot an animal that is threatening you, but do NOT be like that guy who shot a dog that he thought was a Pit Bull, which was in the guy's neighbor's yard and was NOT threatening anybody!!!!!!!!!! Just because an animal growls, it is not a threat!!! Sometimes dogs have good reasons to attack you.
