Musings from Brian J. Noggle: Leave No Hamster Behind Act

Leave No Hamster Behind Act

Measure could force pet shops to keep better records; Bill also calls for stricter rules on exercise and care:

Lawmakers will vote today on a bill that could require pet shops to abide by stricter regulations like keeping detailed records on the animals they sell and providing toys and exercise wheels for small animals like rats, hamsters, mice and guinea pigs.

Face it, citizens, our civilization has peaked. The amount of civil liberties that citizens enjoy has reached its high water mark and is ebbing. Our government is now taking rights from us and giving them to animals.

Say what you will about the totalitarian nature of the Chinese regime, but at least it's using its totalitarianism to the ends of a human society and not the gerbil society.

Is that a promotion or demotion?
