Hawaii Toughens Dog And Cat Eating Laws

The story is an old one.  One country eats dogs, cats, monkeys, snails and spiders another country is put off their steak, bacon and eggs when they find out about it.

Dog owners in Hawaii crowded a government committee meeting demanding the slaughter and consumption of dogs and cats on the islands cease and desist...  You know, because two whole reports a year surface in regard to the practice.

The Oahu Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals said dogs and cats are considered members of  families.  “Dogs are people too, because they have the ability to experience emotions,” said Honolulu resident Jane Shiraki.  Makes ya kinda wonder what Jane thinks of her human kids huh?

State Rep. Romy Cachola said he sympathized with the bleeding-heart pet owners but still had to ask,
“I cannot understand why we’re doing this."    The 'this' was the barking demand to toughen existing law already in place banning the dining choice. 

The committee could only think to add other pets to the list and close the meeting before the pit bull owners took notice.  We guess those might have included goldfish, hamsters, horses, iguanas, geckos, guinea pigs, rabbits, parrots, ferrets, box turtles, and snakes.

Really folks, who eats their pet parrot?
