From my point of view as someone who owns exotics, the only interesting news is that John McCain owns several exotics. This fact gives me a little better feeling about him even though I hope the GOP picks someone else to be the nominee. One of his pets is a ferret, and I would be greatly amused to see one of the debate moderators throw out the question and let John McCain and Rudy Giuliani argue about ferrets.
The article praises Dennis Kucinich for getting all three of his dogs as rescues from the dog pound. It's rare for someone at Free Republic to say something nice about Dennis Kucinich, but I'll join the chorus of saying that his willingness to take a rescue from the pound says something good about him.
Otherwise, the candidates seem to be dog and cat people. Most of them have labs. I'm not sure whether that means anything. I'd hate to think that anyone would get a pet just because they think that owning that particular kind of pet was good for political image. Needless to say, my owning exotics wouldn't help my image if I ever became a politician.
I figured that you folks would enjoy this one!
I'd have to say there that owning a Lab is not because it's politcally astute but because they're just damn good dogs.
If HUSSEIN Obama gets elected, forget about pets. He will keep Jews as slaves.
on old dachshund, an Australian cattle dog, a desert lynx mix, a tank of freshwater fish and a terrerium with a newt and a frog.
Here’s a thread about the softer side of the candidates.
If one of them had a pet cow, he’d probably get my vote. I’m not talking cattle rancher. I mean, somebody who gets up every morning before the sun, and milks Bessie. If he does that, everything else will fall into place.
There’s nothing about what Fred owns. Does anyone know what sort of dog he has? I’m betting a lab; he seems like the lab type. A real man, in other words.
