Answer: Because they were all evil by torturing & abusing helpless animals who cannot speak for or defend themselves. They needed a vigilante, like Trudi Miller to hunt down and punish those who harm animals. Having been sexually assaulted at the age of 9 months, Trudi grew up with no conscience and feels no guilt about killing those who cause animals to suffer. These evil monsters just happen to be mostly men, anyway, which satisfies Trudi, who is clever and keeps one step ahead of the law. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3b1494611a0aceed43bcc/1583941491996-9XA9Q5922WBYKT404BCD/Book_Marry.jpg Home - Never Marry a Pianist This book explains, in short stories, how complicated pianist really are. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3b1494611a0aceed43bcc/1537800616283-ZQVE041FUJ74FDOM1S3B/KarlHeader.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3b1494611a0aceed43bcc/1583939113131-AGPNIUUOTHC08KABC8UI/piano_player.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3b1494611a0aceed43bcc/1583945966064-7K0FBEEZEEXA30EEB1X6/Screen+Shot+2020-03-11+at+12.59.07+PM.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3b1494611a0aceed43bcc/1583945988846-HOH93YM276H2V1CI6CYU/Screen+Shot+2020-03-11+at+12.59.07+PM.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3b1494611a0aceed43bcc/1638486594689-4XGGTZIMDZ8EUMCNZOFS/KarlHeader_2021.jpg Home https://www.karlhausman.com/history daily 0.75 2020-03-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3b1494611a0aceed43bcc/1537750320689-GR9A0YJFES5BMKS6VWYS/6Disney.png History - 1983 - 1987 Walt Disney World, Orlando Performed as the Main Street Pianist in the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World.
