Wills accused of shooting cat

Prince William has been investigated by police after a woman claimed
he shot her pet cat.

Jeshiera Art filed a complaint saying Wills, 21, fired a gun outside
her home near Balmoral - and her cat has not been seen since, reports
The Sun.

Police decided to take no action so Jeshiera, 34, is threatening to
take out a private prosecution against William.

She said: "It had gone 11 when there was this huge bang. There was a
lamp shining on my house and one at my cat. Then there were a couple
of shots."

Buckingham Palace confirmed Wills had been on a rabbit shoot near
Balmoral, but denied a cat was shot.


Is this true? Seems to terrible and terrible it is only reported
in the obscure news services. If true, he should be arrested.

I don't see how she could do anything unless she finds the cat.

That sounds a little flaky & coincidental. I realize that brief story doesn't
have all the details, but it doesn't sound to me that she saw enough to make
that kind of accusation.

But I am surprised that anyone is allowed to romp & stomp and shoot at rabbits
at (what sounds like) very close to her house.

R U kidding, Sherry? We don't live in a monarchy so that *would* be
threatening behavior here in USA. But I've always got the impression those
royals do whatever, wherever, whenever they want......with no consequences
to their exalted hides. Whole different ballpark than here.

Walllll....I'm telling ya, Pilgrim, NOBODY shoots *anything* close enough to my
house to spotlight my cats. Nobody. Not even Dubbya himself.
And on second thought, what kind of fun is tramping through pastures at night
shooting a defenseless animal? Killing for the *sheer* sake of killing. Not for
food, not even for trophy, which is bad enough. I'd seriously wonder about
what's in the heart of someone who enjoys that.

Question is what's in the *heads*, not the hearts, Sherry. That family has a
rep, deserved or not, of let's just say not being real bright due to
inbreeding over centuries. Their collective i.q.'s would probably make,
comparatively, what's running our country look like Einstein.
Also, those princes don't really have very much to do; they don't work as we
know it. We really don't have anything like them in the USA; even our rock
stars have to give a concert now and then, and Bill Gates, our richest, puts
on his pants and goes somewhere every day, even if he doesn't lift a finger
physically. But showing up at some charity event is as hard as it ever gets
for the royals, in spite of the silly pics you see with one of them holding
a shovel full of dirt somewhere.....we just can't imagine such a life.
Anyone's pet would be expendable and not worth a discussion to such beings.

Ok Ok!!!! I gotta make one itty bitty comment...

The Queen does have a fondness for her corgi's. You only have to go as far
as a few publicity photos before you see the dogs run unchecked on the
grounds of where ever she's in residence at. Watching them bounce all over
the throne, the Queen herself and whoever is in attendance... I think it's
sweet

I think the most telling of how hard the boys work, and what is given to
them freely would be a copy of their school work, the grades that are
reflected. Test scores, and things such as that. There is no way, with 10+
years of education you can get by without some type of evidence you either
rode it out, or you worked to get those grades.

On the other hand!!! Can we say Yay Norway? Or was it Finland??? The heir
to the throne married his sweetheart earlier this year and she's a divorced
mum . I think that was wonderful and very telling on the types of people
leading that country.

Anyone *else's* pet. *Theirs* are sacrosanct. I remember seeing
stories about Princess Anne's homicidal maniac bull terriers
terrorizing the populace at large-- one even killed one of the Queen's
corgis.
