Is there any small public ponds in East Texas that is good for float Tube fishing?
Q. I know Rusk State park has a good small lake and the Neches River has some good pools but I would like to know other spots I agree Texas has great lakes. I have a 15 foot Jon boat with a 15 horse 4 cycle engine for lakes like Palestine, Lake Tyler, Caddoo Lake Sam Rayburn, Whitney Cleaburn, Cedar Creek Lake fork etc. I want small ponds for my float tube. I will probably use it a lot at tyler State Park as I live near it and go there very often. But still for float tubing I prefer small ponds. I have fished the large lakes 40 years and know most of them. I just don't know of any small ponds.

In Alto, Texas after a 13-ycarold Alto boy reportedly admitted to the January 4 fatal shooting of a cat on the animal's family's property and an ensuing investigation turned up further evidence of the crime. PETA wrote to Cherokee County Attorney Craig Caldwell urging him to file felony cruelty-to-animals charges against the boy in accordance with the Texas Penal Code. In his reply, Caldwcll stated that because the suspect is a juvenile, Caldwell could not release records and files on the case-despite the fact that PETA was only… [cont.]

A. No one in the above article think that it's okay to hurt cats. No one here NOR all the other answers to your repeated same question said it is ok to hurt cats (or animals in general). This question is not a question at all but an article with request for a petition to write to PETA or Craig Caldwell. Please if you want to ask a question - ASK. Don't use it to propogate PETA's ideas.
