Texas takes lives
the post-Gregg era Texas has executed over four times more inmates than Virginia (the state with the second-highest number of executions in the post-Gregg era) and nearly 37 times more inmates than California (the state with the largest death row population). The TDCJ website maintains a list of inmates with scheduled execution dates, which is generally updated within 1–2 days after an execution takes place or a stay of execution is granted.

Today, you are the waves of the Pacific, pushing ever eastward. You are the sequoias rising from the Sierra Nevada, defiant and enduring. -
This is the least disputable of all the threads in this series. Well done.

Texas actually saves lives.
Back in July 2010, A NTRS Volunteer saw a forlorn young brown and white Dutch mix rabbit all alone in a feed store. His fur had a patch of harlequin around his left eye and another on his right rump. He has beautiful long ears.
The main reason why nobody wanted him was that his left elbow was bent awkwardly as if it had been broken when he was a baby rabbit. He was on sale for only $5. (That is an attractive price as live python food).
The NTRS volunteer puchased him and took him home in a cardboard box. We named him Fiver. We took Fiver to Doctor Effie of CityVet (Oak Lawn) in Dallas for an examination and a health check.
At Fiver's checkup, his left front leg was found not to be broken. Dr. Effie determined that Fiver had an elbow luxation (complete dislocation of the elbow joint) when he was very young. Fiver already had muscle atrophy local to the elbow and he is not in any pain.
Our original intention was to foster Fiver at home because there was no room at the NTRS sancturary. Then after he had recovered from his neuter surgery, we were to post his picture on Petfinder for his adoption. However when that time came, he had already stolen our hearts and we just had to keep him as part of our family.
