nc, there is a serious disconnect between your title about the Manitoba Premier in Costa Rica and the actual posted article which is about a dog custody dispute in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
I asked them to correct it.
I’m guessing you posted the headline from one story and the body from another. Unless Manitoba’s premier is Slimey the Cat.
LOL. You beat me to it.
Glad you mentioned you asked to have this fixed. Thought I had a mild stroke there for a bit.
He can hang out with Charlie Rangel.
This judge sounds like a reasonable person.
We could use more than a few like this down here in God’s country.
If you lived in Saskatoon you’d want to spend January and February in Costa Rica too.
Send the dogs to Costa Rica with Premier Pallister for the winter and leave the bickering spouses to freeze up here. Win-win!
ok, they are not people, but they aren’t toasters.
they are living creatures, like all our pets, and they have unique personalities (or animalities)
and almost all who decide to have pets and love them, they are non-human members of the family.
the judge’s attitude can suck it.
If we have laws against animal cruelty and judges are ruling pets as mere property, should there be anti-cruelty laws against toasters? Obviously pets are recognized as more than mere property and there is worth in love, attachment, loyalty, and responsible care-giving.
I’ve watched “Corner Gas”, set in Saskatchewan. I don’t remember all that many “Winter” epis. Not that I’m an expert, but I’m guessing it’s more of a production convenience.
“In Canada, we tend not to purchase our children from breeders. “
Tend not???? It should be totally illegal to buy and sell children. But, of course, “homosexual marriage” and sperm banks sets up this system so we have to destroy biological connection of parent/child. It is evil and should be unconstitutional since it is dehumanizing.
There are Natural Rights embedded into our system of “Justice” which only can promote Natural Duties (virtue). Setting up an evil structure which denies the Natural Rigths of babies to be born and raised by their own biological parents is not only irrational (unconstitutional) and denies the Natural Duties of parents (unconstitutional) and the Rights of babies (unconstitutional)——it is evil and dehumanizing to babies, since it treats human life as an object to buy and sell. (slavery, which is proven unconstitutional).
Just use Solomon’s method and threaten to cut the dog in two and give each spouse half.
Finally, some sanity.
I understand people’s attachments to pets, but they are animals.
“I love my Grandpoodle”. Actual bumper sticker seen on the PA turnpike.
God help us.
We took chinese takeout to a friend with a broken foot who can’t get out. Her husband is one of my best friends and he seems smitten with the new dog more than his kids.
The dog has him trained perfectly and knows with certainty how to extract treats.
At 76, he was doting on the corgipoo
That’s pretty much what he did when he said he could order the dogs sold and the proceeds divided.
About 15 years ago I tried the case of the 13 yorkies. This couple was nuts. They had spent over $80K on fertility treatment to produce one child. They agreed on the parenting plan for the kid.
But, there were 13 yorkies.... bred and trained for agility. And the fight was on. I was paid in advance (do you think I’m nuts?) to represent one of the parties. The poor judge had to listen to 6 hours of them telling her how awful the other dog owner was. At the end she simply said that the dogs were property and that since they were purebred each was to go to the party who had legal title. I think the husband got 8 and the wife got the rest.
Afterwards I went back and asked the judge whether she had seen the movie “Best of Show.” She cracked up. She told me she had also had to try a horse custody case.
