Holy smokes

That is absolute insanity. Fining people who turn in strays?!? When I was a kid we had a cat given to us by friends. Some time later she was pregnant and decided to have the kitties in my brother's room. Right now I'm envisioning 'Crime Scene' tape stretched across his door.

I do like your immigration-based solution. Another might be to allow Planned Parenthood to open veterinary clinics.

Sanctuary Kitties...

...absolutely INSANE!

Also, in their dream world every dog and cat would be spayed or neutered. Would that not send them to the endangered species list on the fast track?

These people need to be stopped.

Scottie, my man, do you vote in local elections?

I think the kittens are happy to be alive and frolicking about Heartland HQ. Planned parenthood is a pro-abortion group masquerading as a pro-choice group. The Missus would never approve offing little kittens (or human beings for that matter).

It sure is a dumb law though.

I just moved my voter's registration over to Indiana after my nuptuals. There hasn't been an election here for me to vote in yet. I seem to be occupying a blue dot in an otherwise red state here in Terre Haute, but I'll give 'em all the hell I can. Bet on it.

They went about it all wrong

They should just register all pet owners and require that they produce a valid pet license before they can buy pet food. Oh yeah, tax the crap out of pet food too. Criminalize pet ownership. That way only criminals have pets.

Are you somehow related to Loyal Democrat? That one was pretty close to the strike zone.

Hello from a fellow Townhaller

Hello.

I would consider it a privilege if you would add my blog "The Tygrrrr Express" http://www.blacktygrrrr.wordpress.com to your list of linked sites if you feel the quality is high.

Happy June.

Scottie, they're talking about passing the exact same law out here in LaLa Land, too. Nutjobs from the Left, once again paving the road to hell.


PasPhil, you forgot the 15 day waiting period and background check to buy a pet. You need a special license to "carry" your pet outside your premises.

Reviewing my comment in light of your reply I can confirm that I am a complete imbecile. I was trying to make a sarcastic crack directed at the Terre Haute gov't, not your situation. Another joke successfully botched...

Oh when will they ever learn
Oh when will theyyyyyy ever learn.

It's not their intentions, it's their failure to ask, "And then what will happen?", that causes all of the problems.

Good poke at PasPhil as well. Just one question guys: How do you tell if a kitten is loaded?


Gunny would say to always assume they are I suppose.

Who is Palin? And why should I care?

I don't mind a little self promotion; heck we all do that. But this drive-by stuff just strikes me as a little rude. If you go to his blog, he doesn't have a single blog listed on his blog-roll. If he tried to interact a little, I'd probably nominate him for resident expert on Jewish affairs.

And when are you gonna put up some new wallpaper over at the Closet? I've been watching "Road House" and I'm getting a little itchy. :-)

On the wallpaper: I was going to do just that, but it rained all weekend and disrupted my plans. You'll see later. Thanks!

How can you possibly allow the cat population to increase? Now if it were dogs... (to be fair, I'm violently allergic to the little felines so I can't promise to drive down 69 and across 70 to visit the next time i visit friends outside of Fort Wayne).

I can't say I'm at all surprised by the stupidity of liberalism. Here's an idea: if they try to cite you, claim to be a wiccan exercising your religious rights to maintain undamaged familiars. Whether it works or not, it will overexert their little brains.

The mother cat IS always loaded . . . with flatulence! My Gawd can that cat spew when picked up. Kitten critters are fine so far, just endlessly curious and daring, as kittens will be.

Unless you're prepared to accuse me of intermingling with other species, I don't see how I could have changed the situation. She didn't look preggers when she arrived, I KNOW my cat didn't do it (he's fixed), and if I knew she was pregged out, I probably would have been more inclined to take her in than I already was. (And thanks for forcing me to make Sheila's point for her!)

Since they are Undocumented, and clearly Illegal(so far), I'm going to refer to them as my housekeeping staff if the need arises. It's highly unlikely to come up though. The cops don't even investigate burglary with any vigor here; I can't see them expending any serious calories on this law either. Thankfully this is a will issue state for concealed carry.

we're from the government and we are

here to help........

sounds like the law will lead to an explosion in the feral cat population. as cat owners abadon their pets either because thay cannot afford to have them spayed and feed them or out of frustration over tickets.... great example of a solution that exacebates the problem. Scottie will shoot you an email, heading up to the Hoosier state 2nd weekend in July and over to cleveland to board a fishing boat for a day out chasing walleyes. Fletch most of my family lives in Ft. Wayne area.
