You seem to find yourself extremely witty and amusing.

Thanks for bringing that to my attention. ; )

How would you feel if you had to give your dog or cat away because of changed circumstances only to have it end up in a lab?

Well you can always call PETA, they will take care of it!!! DOG-GONE

Apparently you like making hateful and snotty replies. Go ahead, if that makes you happy.

GIVE IT A BREAK!!!

It was a very different world then. We now have cell phones, hi tech interstate commerce...a lot has changed. and medical research was not on the scope, technologically advanced and global like it is today. But why argue with someone who only sees Black and White..no gray.

Why not just go live on an Amish farm...its a lot closer to the “romantic “ 1800’s and the republic back then.

With this, future decisions will outlaw hunters from using dogs to coon hunt, hunt boar, bear and others. Riding horses could also be disallowed because of their ‘inhumane’ treatment.

I just keep waiting for someone to call an anti-kicking restraint put on some mares, to be called a raping harness. And the squeeze chutes cattle are put in will be called torture chambers.

"The Founders never envisioned semi-automatic guns, so the Government can ban them."

"The Founders never envisioned electronic media, so the Govenrment can regulate it."

"The Founders never envisioned blah, blah, blah, blah...."

We've heard that crap before, hippie. It was bullcrap then and it's bullcrap now.

Why not just go live on an Amish farm...its a lot closer to the “romantic “ 1800’s and the republic back then.

I shouldn't have to. Why don't you go live in France. It's a lot closer to the unbridled socialism you seem to crave. There are plenty of screwed up countries on the planet for you to chose from. Why don't you take your hippie ass to one of them and leave the USA alone.

I saw nothing hateful in his reply.

Apparently, you think that everyone should *bow* to your will. Go ahead and keep attacking others if that’s what makes you happy...but don’t expect others to follow suit, we’ll use our own minds to choose what we believe to be true.

[org.whodat]

you really come across as bitter and nasty.

[org.whodat]

How is humane treatment of animals “socialism” pray tell? What else would you exclude from humane treatment? Wives? Kids? The unborn?

Is that line is from a PETA hand book?

[counterpunch]

Bump for later.
Gotta go milk the dog.

[DancesWithCats]

Excellent point!

[dfwgator]

What’s next, forcing dogs and cats to live together.

[flashbunny]

It appears your recovery has lapsed.

[MizSterious]

When have you ever known PETA to care about the unborn?

[mutley]

Apparently you like making hateful and snotty replies. Go ahead, if that makes you happy.

Thug-like behavior, to advocate no legislation on thug-like behavior? Imagine that.

[ConservativeMind]

I understand. I have no problem with people choosing to protect their own animals.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

That obscene comment is uncalled for.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

What an articulate brilliant post. Did it take you all day to figure that out???

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

that is disgusting in the manner you present it.

[Judith Anne]

I absolutely applaud both your posts. There are plenty of laws on the books as it is, regarding animals, and this law sounds like a sheep in wolf’s clothing to me.
