We have debated the plural of "moose". I think we did in the end decide it was "meese".

I support fixing all pet animals. I thought it was interesting that service animals are exempt, as well as the obvious exemption for show animals.

We are *so* far from having a shortage of companion animals. IF we do manage to empty the shelters here, we can get animals from elsewhere to adopt. You don't have to go to a breeder; we're on our third non-breeder dog and the cat was a stray.

There will be pets. Just more of them will have homes. I'm not sure what to think about the puppy mills other than publicize the carp out of them to make sure that everybody knows what kind of conditions those dogs live in and embarass them into behaving properly and caring for their dogs. The lady at Basset Rescue had some horror stories.
