This is a very burdensome thing, not just for people who live with cats but the rest of us who try to visit you or who want to move into a place where you have been.I cannot think of a single reason why I would want to make it convenient for him or his ilk to try and visit me or to move into my house, so I really don't see the problem.

"And those of you who are in favor of personal responsibility as a way to cut down healthcare costs, you know who I am talking about." This is SARCASM....right? Wonder, though, whether some ever wonder about the homo's passing the AIDS virus around....and THEIR lack of personal responsibility?

This is obvious satire and a jab at the proposed obesity tax.

OK,I tried not to say it, but I can’t help it: “DR. KAPLAN HATES PUSSY!!!!!!”

Homosexuals are by far the sickest and costliest group to our health system.

And those of us who own birds stand behind this wholeheartedly! Oh, no doubt. Together with the rodent folks, you should have a powerful lobbying group.

The good Doc does some real fine satire. Yup.
To: DarthVader
The only cats we ever shoot are the ones that come on the property and take a run at the chickens or fight with our barn cats. Stray dogs get even less tolerance because they LOVE to chase the cattle. The problem is it seems like a lot of people abandon their pets in the country thinking that someone will take them in or else maybe that nature is some Utopia for domestic critters. It isn’t. I’m sure for every cat we’ve ever shot that there’s a dozen or more the coyotes, foxes, cougars, and now wolves get to first.

Lol! Even when satire is clearly l labeled as “SATIRE”, too many of our fellow Freepers show that they have NO sense of humor. B-HO has just sapped it all. :)

The good Doc does some real fine satire. That is my take on it. (I have 12 cats)

I agree regarding the satire.
First give away...Everybody knows people don’t “own” cats. :)

Rats have been taking over our section of north america for years..
My cat takes one look at these Rats and walks away.. He knows his limitations..
Mouse? no problem.
Rabbit? No problem.
Bird? slight problem.
Standard US (democ)Rat, problem.
He knows he just can’t take one down. But there are days it looks like he wants to try.

That’s how I took it too. He’s not actually arguing for it but trying to point out the slippery slope...

Very full of himself, our little weak-minded Mr. Caplan. And not funny at all.
