another victim
the war on drugs claims another victim: todd, a seven year old springer spaniel.
did anyone see the thin white line episode of family guy?
and who names their dog todd?
seriously though. i see some discrepancies in our legal code, which is not unusual of course. many laws in the states give animals - pets specifically - certain rights and protections. a dog owner that feeds his pet a drug, let's say alcohol, especially to the point of overdose, would probably be fined and in some areas even jailed. let's not even go there if it were an illegal substance like cocaine. so, do dogs have rights, including not being drugged up, or not? and if they do, how can violating one law to crack down (no pun intended) on another be justified?
