    Bye

    I hesitate to even post this because I know what will follow it: a long stream of gross invective. But I'm posting because I wanted to be polite to the vast majority of people, lurkers and posters, who have undoubtedly come across my posts over the years. I enjoyed our conversations very much...

    Dog Bite Prevention Resolution Considered by Congress

    The issue isn't something you personally disliked that I may have said years ago on another thread, but something Amstaff said recently on this thread. I'm sure we could go and find posts from you which would make a fine justification for saying you shouldn't dare open your mouth online, but...

    Dog Bite Prevention Resolution Considered by Congress

    Whatever you say, Jethro. "people like you." Nice. What a beautiful mix of victimhood and aggression. You cry for your breed and your dog, then you attack anyone who disagrees with you. That's classic. If you want to convince anyone of anything, you have to have a standard of behavior...

    Yes/No to yearly shots and heart worm..

    I think the anti-vaccine thing is largely crazy. It's not that I 'believe' in vaccines or vets; I'm perfectly willing to listen to a good argument that they're (respectively) dangerous or corrupt. But mostly, when I hear this sort of stuff, it sounds like conspiracy theories run amuck.

    Dog Bite Prevention Resolution Considered by Congress

    Who said anything about raiding people's yards in anticipation? That's bizarre. I'm talking about strengthening the ability of local authorities to step in when there's a problem, and encouragement of those authorities to take action. Much local enforcement of animal control laws is extremely...

    Dog Bite Prevention Resolution Considered by Congress

    I'm not sure if you're talking to me or the other person, but if it's me, I said already in my above post: "effective animal control laws and enforcement." And yes, that'll be harder to do, but anything effective and worthwhile is harder to do.

    NZ Mother dies after power cut to her house

    You need to accept that 2 people can read the same story, come to 2 different opinions, and both opinions contain some validity. I read that story, I disagreed with you. There is not one basic "can't breathe, dying" reaction that all people have. If this woman was indeed having trouble...

    Dog Bite Prevention Resolution Considered by Congress

    1) I think BSL is of limited effectiveness, and I would much rather see effective animal control laws and enforcement. What really bothers me about the anti-BSL movement is that it seems satisfied with any solution that doesn't mean giving up their breeds. That indicates they have no interest...

    Dog Bite Prevention Resolution Considered by Congress

    "When you consider the fact that there are 61 million dogs in the United States, it becomes clear that dog bite prevention is very important," said AVMA President Roger Mahr, DVM. "The only known cures for dog bites are training, knowledge and caution. Any dog may bite if it feels threatened, if...

    Talk about grasping at straws

    I'm a woman, but I'm a bit confused by the idea that it would be a hoot if I was a guy. Isn't Dan gay?

    NZ Mother dies after power cut to her house

    Ah, yes, the 'common sense' doctrine. A close cousin to the 'personal resposibility' doctrine. Otherwise known as the 'if you didn't do what I think I would have done in that situation, you're an idiot and you deserved whatever happened to you' clause. The struggle for air thing, though -...

    Chinese food and drug agency hands down punishment!

    In one instance, an antibiotic approved by Zheng’s agency killed at least 10patients last year before it was taken off the market. We're never going to have the death penalty for corruption, no matter what the effects of that corruption are (unless, of course, it's treason) but when you look...

    NZ Mother dies after power cut to her house

    So the dying woman is responsible for not calling herself ambulance but the poor little consumer is being victimized by the big mean power company? I get whiplash sometimes from the position changes of the personal responsibility drones.

    Dewclaws!?

    After a fairly traumatic Christmas Eve tearing-of-the-dewclaw incident, I don't have it in me to be censorious of people for removing the cursed things. I wouldn't personally put a dog through even minor surgery for something uneccessary, myself, though.

    Sister, panties and pie... Interesting preoccupations you have there.

    NZ Mother dies after power cut to her house

    There are all kinds of legal ways to kill poor people in the United States, and it appears this is true of New Zealand as well. I found the below section of the story interesting: Counties Manukau Chief Medical Officer Don Mackie said Mrs Muliaga was sent home from Middlemore Hospital...

    I've had it. No more sexual assaults on my pup!

    Some huge mixed breed kept humping my little dog and the owner did nothing-he thought it was just fine "dogs will do that" he says Classic. Trash owners always fall pull that. I bet if you'd run over his dog with your car and then leaned out the window to chirp "Cars do that!" he'd have a...
