    No, this work is the most dangerous out there, even being a cop is less dangerous. Putting at risk six animals who have no control or desire to be stuck in a 320 square cubic foot box is unrealistic and selfish.

    Don’t hate me for my comments, I have seen what happens when animals are hurt in a truck, it isn’t a nice sight.

    You can actually become a South Dakota resident quite easily, which is what a lot of live on the road RVers do. You only have to spend 24 hours in the state to establish residency (midnight to midnight - not just "24 hours")..

    To establish South Dakota residency, you'll need to secure a physical address in the state, obtain a South Dakota driver's license, and register your vehicle there. You'll also need to prove a one-night stay in the state. These steps will help you establish residency for tax benefits and other purposes.
    Steps to Establish South Dakota Residency:
    1. 1. Secure a South Dakota Address:
      You can achieve this by using a mail forwarding service or leasing a property in the state. DakotaPost and Americas Mailbox are examples of companies that provide mail forwarding services.
    • 3. South Dakota Driver's License:
      Apply for a South Dakota driver's license at the Department of Public Safety, providing your new address and documentation from your one-night stay.
    • 4. Vehicle Registration:
      If you own a vehicle, register it in South Dakota.
    • 5. Mail Forwarding Agreement:
      You may need to provide a mail forwarding agreement as proof of your South Dakota address.
    • 2. One-Night Stay:
      Spend at least one night in South Dakota, documenting your stay with a receipt from a hotel, campground, or other lodging.

    Seriously, it is just that easy to "live" in a tax free state...

    A good rule is to never have more than 2 cats; 3 or more and they start forming alliances. SIX cats? They'll start forming GANGS! And where would you put all those litter boxes??
    No, I love cats; I've had 7 or 8 through the years, but I think your idea is insane.

    I think it's a great idea. Wish I could have done something similar when I was younger.
