here’s one for the nanny state ping list

I know it must be a crime to dress them in plaid when, say, seersucker is in.

To some people a dog is just another ‘accessory’, like a handbag or a scarf. They don’t really care if the dog is comfortable or not.

Talk about ridiculous! Running around and chasing things is a normal expression for dogs. So is it against the law to chain them up or fence them in? Why not?

[thecabal]

I’m not quite sure who to root for here. Can they both lose?

“Y’all can kill your babies up to age 18... but don’t you DARE dress your dog funny!”

Normal? The RSPCA is being dreadfully unprogressive.

The dog on 'The Left' must have voted for Obama.
He's wearing the communist red star.

I’m torn ... on the one hand, its just a dog ... over intrusive government ... etc. ...

... on the other hand, I think people that dress up dogs are among the most ridiculous individuals on this planet — and I laugh at their misfortune.

“Has anybody seen
A dog dyed dark green,
’Bout two inches tall,
With a strawberry-blonde paw,
Sunglasses and a bonnet,
And designer jeans with appliqués on it?”

Since when are silliness and bad taste public offenses in the UK? It’d put the comedy industry out of business.

What do dogs think of this?!!! Here is one with an appropriate answer.

"One of those needs is to express normal behaviour"

By that standard, spaying and neutering could be challenged, along with leash laws.

So it’s -21C outside and you’re not supposed to put a sweater and booties on your hairless Chihuahua when you take him for a walk?

[muawiyah]

It's normal for dogs to run in packs and hunt game.

I'm sure the folks who added that clause to the law were either certifiably insane or didn't know anything about normal dog behavior.

What did they imagine might happen should a dog bite a child? Did they think people would simply throw their hands in the air, scream in horror and run in circles or something?

They're Coming to Take Me Away! Ha Ha!

One silver lining of the prospect of a sustained downturn in the economy is that in hard times, eccentric nuts like these crazy animal rights loons will no longer be tolerated IMHO.
