Where our love of animals is getting us into legislation is scary. It is up to us to do our best.

Strict liability is almost a joke. There are plenty of laws while outline these concepts for purposes just like folks who rehabilitate large cats or dangerous snakes. But court is expensive and it seems like everyone just wants clear and solid laws where cases are cut and dry. Seems like a bit away from our original plan...but some people like the comfort and AARP has the money to make laws as they feel comforting.

It is the job of the press to report what there is. If there are baby cats for sale which might spark problems...its likely going to happen. You kind of have to take in the good with the bad on those issues. Publicity can be worth a fortune. The problem is you do not get to have the control you might want.

I would certainly not call this a bad article. I think the "sale of cougars" section might have been better left out for OUR own selfish purposes in masking what we feel too many people will not understand. It honestly seemed to do what we pay the press for. It gave the news how it was...and really we should be careful when we ask for more.
