animal rights

If you are against the sale & ownership of exotic animals, and are outraged at the recent event in Ohio, please sign my petition regarding this matter in North Carolina. North Carolina is one of the 10 states, including Ohio, that does not regulate the sale & ownership of exotic animals, allowing animals to suffer, confined and mistreated by ordinary people. Exotic animals belong in the wild, and if you agree please sign my petition to the NC Government: http://www.change.org/petitions/the-governor-of-nc-ban-the-sale-ownershi...
Thank you!

Update: With the GOP Attack-machine working overtime, I thought now would be a good time to revisit my homage to this style of campaigning. This diary was originally intended to parody the GOP-style smear, but quickly turned into a serious look at the very real consequences of one Congressman's failure to act.

As if we didn’t have enough reasons to despise Robin Hayes, this terrible tragedy unfolds today.

LOWELL, Mass. - A trailer carrying dozens of puppies to Northeast pet stores caught fire just off an interstate, killing all of the estimated 60 dogs inside, authorities said.

What, you may wonder, does Robin Hayes have to do with 60 puppies dead in a tragic truck fire on a Massachusetts highway?

Follow me below the fold, and I’ll tell you…
