It's really pathetic how misplaced this nonsense is, I often mention that we love our cat (would never boil it alive) but the obsession with animal welfare has become an absurdity.

If you find yourself getting out of your car to help turtles and ducks cross the street, get back in your car and start volunteering your time to some PEOPLE that need help like sick or parentless kids.

The kooks who are stopping lobsters from living in an aerated fish tank are the same ones who say they would swerve to kill a baby in order to avoid hitting a snake (PETA's president, I believe?)

Not too long ago I stopped to help a tortoise cross a highway. He wanted to get to the green, green grass on the other side. I don't know "Why did the chicken cross the road?" I might speculate that it was for similar selfish reasons.

While I was waiting in my vet's office last week, I overheard him on the telephone discussing a kidney transplant for a kitten.
