A Florida Democrat has submitted legislation that would ban dogs from sticking their heads out of car windows, along with banning dogs from sitting on drivers' laps and requiring all dogs to be in crates if traveling in motor vehicles.
Florida's Senate Minority Leader Lauren Book filed SB 932, the Florida Standard reports, called the Humane Cosmetics Act. The bill's summary states that it bans the "manufacturing, importing for profit, selling, or offering for sale" any cosmetics that were tested on animals, while also banning the declawing of cats.
The bill would also require the state to create a publicly accessible website that lists the names of those convicted of "animal abuse offenses; providing penalties for specified violations, etc."
However, the bill's actual text immediately states that it is "prohibiting a person from taking specified actions relating to the transportation of dogs on public roadways."
The bill prohibits a person from holding a "dog in his or her lap or allow a dog to be in such a position as to interfere with the person’s control over the driving mechanism."
Always calling them “lawmakers” sure gives them the wrong idea about their job.
We have plenty of laws. Way too many in fact.
Idiot is all I can add.
i hope someone sticks her head out the window.
I think all Dems should be confined to crates when in vehicles.
And rolls it up. Just trying to help. 🙂
I don't have a problem with that, but good luck trying to regulate keeping dogs heads inside the windows. That part is stupid.
What problem came in second in his mind?
Her mind
Better define very carefully ... some guys or gals might be ticketed based upon police judgement.
Stupidity on display.
If they were passing a law to make them stop (i) rolling the windows down in the winter (ii) beeping the horn in the parking lot when they think I’m taking too long or (iii) shifting into neutral when I’m barreling down the highway it might make sense... but what is the point of making them not stick their heads out the window? That’s the only time they are behaving!
That’s not going to go over very well. A lot of people love their dogs more then they love their children.
“Florida Democrats should be banned from sticking their heads out of car windows and be required to be in crates if traveling.”
Sounds like Lauren spends too much time with her head out the window
Probably won’t let them smoke menthols, either.
I was up in Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, and Montana last spring, and it was like being in a whole different country. People actually drove in a civilized manner.
Even driving through rush hour in SLC to get to the airport was an absolute breeze.
Does this mean the Romney’s won’t be able to carry theirs in the cartop carrier anymore?
You have to admit, that driving experience has got to be a bit different up there.
I will say-the worst section of highway I have a lot of experience with is driving is the 50 miles on I-95 North of New York City, heading either northbound or southbound.
People drive insanely dangerously there. You routinely see people doing north of 100 mph, zigging and zagging in and out of traffic.
And rolls it up
