Dogs Don't Bite People. People Bite People.

A couple of weeks back, I had the distinct pleasure of blogging a story with this headline: Dog Attacks Anti-Dangerous Dog Bill Author, which still makes me laugh just to think about it.

Now Mark Draughn, aka Windypundit, directs me to another canine comedy classic. Here's the Chicago Tribune's John Kass going Mistah Kurtz on man's best friend:

The idea is to make dog ownership and breeding difficult. There is no 2nd Amendment for dogs. A large dog in a populated area is a social responsibility. And casual ownership is dangerous.

All pups would be tattooed and implanted with a microchip for identification, their hips X-rayed, with temperament testing. Animals without the identification could be immediately seized and put down. Any unlicensed breeder would be slapped with a felony and possible imprisonment.

You think that's draconian?…

Like I said, I love dogs.

Whole thing here.

For the record, I hate dogs. So I'm with Kass in denying dogs constitutional rights and in fact I don't think dogs have any rights that humans need respect. And that includes the Disney character Goofy too, whatever the hell he (she?) is.

Was it the idiotic Albanian autocrat Enver Hoxha who banned dogs in his wretched Stalinist state? If so, no wonder the people liked him so much. Though that doesn't explain why the US State Department warns, "There are large numbers of feral dogs and cats in Tirana, including the area around the [official] housing compound, which should only be approached with caution." But I've got a message for those feral commie dogs what are bothering our diplomats in Tirana: John Kass is coming and if your papers aren't in order, he's gonna put you down. Because he loves dogs.
