Discoveries made while trespassing for a BASE jump
I was watching an animal abuse story on TV.

I saw something a few years ago that was somewhat shocking. We had driven onto a tower site, drove back many miles onto agricultural land, and discovered an array of horses and cattle about to die of starvation. To add to this, there was a sign on the front gate with a reference to a Cattle Ranchers Association. We ended up not doing anything about it since we didn't want to burn the site. In hindsight, I am uncertain about that decision.

What would you do?

Report anonymously? I'm sure many of the animal protection organisations wouldn't give a damn if you tell them why you were really there.

well talking about animal abuse, a few years ago after jumping the big bridge in south africa I was climbing out of the valley up the side under the bridge and I discovered that some sick fuck had actually thrown a dog off of the bridge. A big dog. I went to the cop shop and reported it but I dunno what they were supposed to do.

I didn't want to burn this site for anything. nothing like it.

the legal consequences for trespassers in Texas are much, much higher than in many other states. trespassing at night where cattle is can be met with being legally assaulted with a gun by the landowner.
