Cartel Cats: A Real L if E Hero
Know Your Rights: High Hopes and Higher Standards—The Weed Talk
Scene: The Village Square, just before dusk
Felicia, the Village Ma, perches on the old fence post, her gaze gentle but wise. The six cartel cats gather around, their ears perked, ready for another lesson about surviving—and thriving—in their world. Tonight, Felicia's talk is about more than just cannabis; it's about knowing your rights and making safe choices.
Felicia:
"In this village, every cat has rights. You have the right to be safe, the right to ask questions, and the right to be heard—no matter what. You've probably noticed those odd-smelling plants near the orchards. Some call it cannabis, some call it trouble. But what matters most is that you understand your rights and the risks."
El Zorro:
"What if one of us already tried it, Ma? Or if we know a cat who has? Will we get in trouble?"
Felicia:
"Here, you have the right to amnesty. That means you can come to me, or any elder, without fear of punishment. We talk things out, we help each other, and we learn together. No judgment—only support."
La Sombra:
"My cousin got sick after eating something from a human's garden. She was scared to tell anyone."
Felicia:
"That's why knowing your rights is so important. If something happens, don't hide it. You have the right to speak up and get help. The sooner you do, the safer you'll be."

Felicia looks at her family, proud of their courage to listen and learn. In a world full of secrets and shadows, knowing your rights is the first step to becoming a real life hero.
