Warrior of the Week

Whether we like it or not, every single one of us is a soldier, or at least treated as such, in the War on Animals. Why? Because our enemy treats us all the same. This week we honor one warrior whose valor stands as an example to the rest of us.

Dale Rippy, 62, a Vietnam veteran who served his country well, was attacked outside his home in Florida by a bobcat earlier this week. Normally, the story does not end well, but this one has a twist. The bobcat came after Rippy, so he fought back and strangled the bobcat, which tests later showed, was rabid.

This vet went from killing Charlie to killing cheetahs. So today SG salutes Rippy for his courage and quick thinking. Remember folks, this war has no front line, you could be found in the middle of a battle at any time.
