James M. Stevenson, 54, of Galveston, Texas, who claimed his "piping plover" was endangered, shot and killed a pussy named Mama. Stevenson, currently on trial for his actions, would not comment on the oedipal significance of the slaying. He has also admitted to stalking and killing numerous other pussies on his property, which may not be be against the law in the bullying land of Texas, but is generally frowned upon by the meek.
