Revisions Unaccepted

Libby for President

I recently received a comment with the following questions  re: my last post re: running for president re :USA 

as follows:

1) What party are you affiliated with? You can’t be a Repugnacan because you are a poodle. And you can’t be a Democat because well, obviously you are not a cat. Oh wait. You must be a Libbytarian!

Answer: ha ha ha  ha yip,

• I don't like Pugs, they have been bred to have unusable noses (through no fault of their own).
• Cats(ugh) u r rite. no cats (ugh).
•  Libbytarians do not understand evolution regarding dog-pack interdependence.

•  I am affiliated with the  best friends animal society **  which is against the AKC's support for puppy mills!  (Click link to see more)

2) I wonder if you could modify your stance on item 3? Maybe you could just keep them on leashes

Answer Re: cats being incarcerated and your suggestion to use leashes instead:  

• Keeping an animal on a leash is cruel and indogmane. I think they would like having their own car(s).

3) Is it possible that item 4 should read “freedom of Revision”? Which would allow you to change your mind about anything anytime and enhances item 11 which is already a great idea.

Answer Re: Freedom of Repigeon or whatever I said. 

• What's revision?
•  Isn't one vision enough?
•  Besides Dogs don't have Visions. They are not that dumb.
•  (Although like everybody else, they do have dreams.)
• I thought pigeons would like being free. (They don't need their own cars because they fly)
• As for changing your mind, anytime, That's what politicians do now!
• 
  
• Finally, I can't remember 1

Yours truly, LIBBY STILLMAN

P.S. >   Mrs Stillman says don't make her laugh when she is trying to do her taxes.

    Commercial dog breeders are often “puppy mills”, those businesses that mass produce dogs for sale. There are reportedly 4,000-5,000 puppy mills in the U.S., each with 75 to 150 breeding dogs. Puppy mills are not much different from the factories that churn out toasters, televisions, and the like. Female dogs used for breeding in puppy mills are bred over and over until their bodies give out. The dogs are literally “stored” in cramped, usually filthy, dark cages, given little or no care, and no socialization or human companionship. Dogs in puppy mills have been found starved, with matted fur covered in fleas or tics. 

Puppy mills mean big revenues for the AKC. In 2006 the American Kennel Club (AKC) registered 870,000 individual dogs and 416,000 litters. At $20 per dog and $25 per litter (plus $2 per puppy), AKC brought in well over $30 million in revenues from registration of dogs born in puppy mills. 

The AKC, though, does not for the most part check to find out if dogs even qualify for registration. The AKC does not actually travel to every breeder’s facility to inspect it. The AKC has announced it “cannot guarantee the quality or health of dogs in its registry.” But AKC is happy to take the money and issue "papers" for the dogs anyway. Usually the "papers' simply list the purebred lineage listed on the application submitted by the breeder. 

Most puppy mill dogs are sold in pet stores or online. The consumers believe a dog with AKC registered papers is actually a purebred that is in good health. Of course, many dogs from mills are inbred, provided little or no care or socialization, and have diseases, illnesses or deformities and behavioral problems.
