Riding on top of a car in a secure carrier cannot be considered animal cruelty. Don’t try telling peta that though. They wholly protect animals while they say nothing about the killing of full term baby by partial birth abortion. But that’s another subject. I kind of veered off the present subject. sorry.

For Dog lovers, he would be a very hard sell candidate by this revelation.

To Mittens: the answer is no.
Don’t know where this blog is coming from but I thought it was earlier established that this a pet blog not political. Why does Clinton, Monica, and Kennedy have to do with Romney putting his dog on the car roof? Wow, this just got too weird.

Itchmo where are you?

bill clinton had a long well documented history of being an overly aggressive skirt chaser and happy handed fondler of female employees back in arkansas- all grounds for being fired where i work. sexual harrasssment is what it is- it is wrong, an entitled behavior because some man( or woman) in power feels he has the right to do it. romney clearly felt he had the right to throw that dog on top of the car like luggage. you don’t see the similarity? i love my pets and animals in general but that doesn’t blind me to the abuses people heap on other humans. there’s every reason to believe the one woman who publically stated that clinton raped her-her story was well supported by others. the public humiliation that the clintons rained down on women who came forward with there stories of bill’s treatment of them is reprehensible. like romney clinton felt he could do whatever he wanted and everyone who protested the abuse was a right wing looney or a piece of jilted white trash. that is not what i want for a president.

there’s even further a stronger case against reelecting ted kennedy perpetually- there’s no disputing he was in that damn car and a woman died. i find it shameful that i am represented in the senate by a man who evaded justice for at the very least manslaughter because he was a kennedy.

i am appalled at romney’s behavior. if he were a democrat i would be equally horrified. it seems to some people that what certain democrats did to humans out of the same sense of entitlement is ok because they did it to ‘ adult humans’ who could defend themselves. lewensky now lives in another country because her life was destroyed by the political hate machine that was the clinton impeachment defence. she was sworn to tell the truth and unlike clinton she did tell the truth- and was duely punished for it by the man she ‘ aided’ in the oval office. that is abuse. she may have opted for oral sex with the guy- she didn’t opt to be publically humiliated and destroyed for telling the truth under oath. she is a victim of the grotesque american political process that finds the abuse of animals easier to confront then the abuse of humans with whom we may not agree politically.

i get the creepy feeling that if clinton hacked Buddy or Socks with an axe it would have been ok if he thought they were part of the ‘ vast right wing conspiracy’. some people can do no wrong due to their political affiliation.that’s the major problem with the system today. if it was the fda we’d term it corruption but we don’t elect the fda. we need to hold ALL or elected officials to the same standards of personal responsibility and morality to ensure a just government. entitled abuse of power is just that-both romney, clinton and kennedy partake. it should be tolerated in no one whether they kick a bunny or slap a baby.

yeah, I wasn’t getting the ‘historical references’ either! as a kid (LONG before the 80’s!!!) we used seat belts if we were in the front seat and soon after, always. I was an adult living on my own in the 80’s and it seems we were a tad more advanced than some of the defenders seem to realize! We took cross country trips in the wagon with the back seat down for kids and pets. And this was in the 60’s, early 70’s. Nobody that I knew of (or saw on the roads!) traveled with the dog crate on the luggage rack!! Must say, my dad has better *management* skills than ol’ Mitt. He had no prob packing us, the luggage and pets in the car with extra luggage going up top. Pets stayed home with friends checking on them when we went places where it was best not to take them. We even had one trip where we all got food poisoning (except for the pets!!) Funny, none of us got hosed off ;)

I’m so sorry to hear of your loss! Was Doolie yet another victim of the pet food poisoning?

When will the sorrow end for pet owners? I don’t post much, but I’ve been reading Itchmo and PC blogs since March. Sometimes my basket gets so full of tissues, I grieve for each loss that I read about.
