Beyond pointing out that I just checked and found Dune and Bubba to be safe and 
sound here in the house, I gotta agree with everything *else* you said!

Even in jest, the idea of killing someone's pet, or even just a harmless stray, 
is not Yer Kindly Ol' Unka Bart's idea of humor.  *Nothing* funny about it.

[ I started to try to interject some levity on this, but there is just nothing 
funny to be found in this subject. ]

I would normally apologize for the lack of audi content, but you'll find none 
here.  There are some folks who have never seen an animal die a slow, agonizing 
and lingering death, and who might not know what would happen if they tried 
leaving anti-freeze out.  If they did so, and were so unfortunate as to 
encounter the animal before it was tidily dead, they might have trouble sleeping
for a long time to come.

Anti-freeze has a sweet taste that most animals find as *irresistible* as it 
will be fatal.  And it takes 12 or more horrible hours to finish the job.

If one finds the idea of any animal *slowly* dying an agonizing death, over a 
period of about 12 hours or more, *funny;* that person should seek help ASAP...
