We failed you. It wasn’t just the system. People failed you. We failed you for your whole life, then stuck you in a gas chamber. You weren’t sick. You were in perfect health.

You were dealt a shit hand but you didn’t deserve to die. I hope you can forgive us.<br/><br/>RIP Daisy <br/><br/>Thanks to everyone who re-blogged Daisy’s story the last couple of days.  </p>http://westtexasinsomniac.tumblr.com/post/26232759929http://westtexasinsomniac.tumblr.com/post/26232759929Sat, 30 Jun 2012 16:36:08 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6divzssPh1qfee6uo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>July 16th</p>http://westtexasinsomniac.tumblr.com/post/26134414327http://westtexasinsomniac.tumblr.com/post/26134414327Fri, 29 Jun 2012 05:09:00 -0500<a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/no-kill-goes-south-austin-texas?CID=examiner_alerts_article">No Kill goes south in Austin, Texas</a>: <p>Daisy is on the executioner’s clock now.

I’ve had a few barn cats. And years ago, I inherited a cat from a girlfriend who left us, me and the cat, to fend for ourselves. I don’t dislike cats, I just never got to know many of them. All that said, the cat in the picture seems like a pretty good cat to me.    </p>http://westtexasinsomniac.tumblr.com/post/25975182552http://westtexasinsomniac.tumblr.com/post/25975182552Tue, 26 Jun 2012 22:09:47 -0500
