Why should an employer PAY YOU so you can bond with your pet?
Are you in the right forum?

It’s about time...
What about paid leave for grandparents, aunts and uncles.
And the government should have to pay for it...
Another government freebie. Somebody should tell Bernie Sanders.

From entitled Lindsay's screed:
(Not surprisingly, the UK is also light-years ahead of the US when it comes to maternity leave, offering up to 39 weeks of paid leave for new mothers.)Sorry Lindsay, this is simply unsustainable.
When the commies/Mooseslimes running the UK run out of Other People's Money, the 39 week charity will stop.
Trying to port this insanity over to Millenial Pet Owners is beyond retarded.
