Why would anyone need civil rights, anyway?

Bills like this make me think that we need a LOT more about the founding of this country and the reasons for it and the Constitution and what civil rights are and how they can be lost. Perhaps if this legislator had actually studied that and taken it to heart, he wouldn't be proposing this kind of legislation. Or maybe not - maybe he's the kind of person who enjoys the power of telling other people how to live their lives and doesn't LIKE them having civil rights.

I only have two dogs, don't need any more, but do know that if I support others losing theirs because (a) I don't personally like what they do or (b) it doesn't matter to me, I have no room to complain when mine are taken away by someone else with the same attitude.

By Pastor Martin Niemoller, 1945 (there are several translations, this is one):

First they came for the Communists,
and I didn’t speak up, because I wasn’t a Communist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak up, because I wasn’t a Jew.

Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn’t speak up, because I was a Protestant.

Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left to speak up for me.


I think this is pertinent any time a law that takes away civil rights, however minor or unrelated to your OWN life, or with which you agree because it requires someone else to make the same decisions you would make, is proposed.

With everything else that they could be *voting* on or arguing about...
dumba**es are going to start counting dogs...I say shut down the puppy
mills altogether AND pet stores....if that is the concern...and really
prosecute people caught mistreating their animals instead of giving
them a slap on the wrist....but to people who have X amount of pets
and care for them and love them...what business is that of anyones???
And for the people that have "over the limit"...what are the geniuses
proposing they do with the *extras*?? Hand them over to be put to
sleep....wow, government brains....what a waste!!!!! BTW...I have
four dogs and a cat and I would like to see someone try and take
any of my pets from me!!!!!

right on! And even as loud as saveourpets is...He or she is right...Lots of people around here have homes on quite a bit of acreage and out of those I'm sure there are many working ranches. These people do use dogs to help with herding. Five Great Danes in a really small apartment, of course, doesn't make sense. But 5-7 dogs on a farm or ranch that consists of 50+ acres does.
