But, if I specifically ASK you guys to shoot me?? That should certainly count for something!!

I mean, you're paying to take good care of these animals. It's not like you're asking for anyone else to support you in this project. If they were breeding and running into other people's yards and decimating the local migratory bird population or something, I might be able to see it.
In fact, I thought it had been explained to me that the Texas philosophy was rather live-and-let-live, with the right to shoot anyone who tells you otherwise thrown in as a bonus.  |
I know. The asshole developer even told me specifically that because all of my animals were indoors and wouldn't be bothering anyone, it would be OK. Now, of course, he's denying he said anything of the sort. And the city council ... well, they are beyond pompous. Big fish ... teensy pond ... you know how it goes.

Hey .... hey ..... hey!!! Don't you bleep at my friends!!! And, I see nothing wrong with shooting someone who actually ASKS for it.
And .... damn .... yesterday a mesquite thorn took out one of my tires, and today ... the fridge is dead. Oh hell.
And, in closing ....
