It led senior humane officer Amiie Gabrilska on Sept. 21, 2006, to order that Lunde have a diet analysis and weight loss plan done for the 197-pound hound.

“Clearly, an animal that’s grossly obese has a shortened lifespan,” Gabrilska said.


This is nuts in so many ways.

Damn libs. They ought to leave the lady and her boy alone. As long as he’s happy, that’s what counts most. Years ago, my vet told me, “Dogs don’t care how long they live; they just care how well they live.” I’d say her dog is living pretty well.

I can give that dog my most heartfelt sympathy on getting a proper thyroid diagnosis. A good friend took the form of low Blood Pressure 65/45 -— like -— dead!

What a f$%king idiot. Dogs care about eating, not how long they live.

Looks to me there are government employees trying to justify their jobs.

Is your lawn up to snuff? You're probably making your neighbors sick and causing glaciers to melt by over watering it. Or under watering it. Whatever the lawn patrol officer says you're doing wrong.

Apparently the health-nazi nanny-state jackbooted fascist goose-stepping seig-heiling taliban scum aren't satisfied with enslaving humans in their new Reich, so their going after animals as well.

I won't say any of it's a conscious conspiracy, but some of the creep to the Left comes from activists getting bright ideas based on work done in other areas. What I mean:

The government gets the right to monitor a dog's weight, and to remove dogs if they are "in trouble".
The next thing you know, Child Welfare activists are "concerned" about your kids, they claim that "We treat our dogs better!!" and you've suddenly lost custody.

The attack on our rights is multi-pronged. Perhaps the attacks are not coordinated, but they do feed off each other.

In just the same way, same-sex marriage is used by some to justify polygamy, and lowering the age of consent.

I think this is satire.

Isn’t it?

That and having nothing better to do with their time ...some cutbacks in the dept. will do the trick.
