Warm Blooded with a Collar = More Animal Rights!

Have you ever noticed that our warm blooded pets...dogs, cats, horses, etc...have more rights in the eyes of the law than, say fish and reptiles?

How many people have you ever read about in the newspaper being imprisoned or fined for improper treatment of a fish? How about a snake?

But...nearly every month...sometimes twice...there is a story in Philadelphia about a person who was arrested or fined for having too many cats in the apartment or not properly feeding the dogs.

Interesting, huh?

Now, I am not part of the tang police...in fact, I think the tang police are nothing more than social outcasts desiring to feel the sense of power in a forum of annonimity...

Where was I? Oh yeah...but no one seems to mind when fish and reptiles are traded like Pokemon cards at swap meets or over the internet.

End of rant, back to drinking Baileys.
