Grey areas in respectability

DOG NEWS: Presented by Daisy and Scratchy
Daisy: There is an interesting item in today’s news which raises questions about respectable human behaviour.
Scratchy: Humans can behave respectably?
Daisy: Of course they can, Scratchy. Much human behaviour is perfectly respectable.
Scratchy: Then why don’t I get more to eat?
Daisy: The news is about a man who is suing a woman for stealing his foot.
Scratchy: She stole his foot?
Daisy: Yes, and she has admitted as much. The man was involved in a serious car accident in Florida in September 2008. The woman attended the accident in her role as a firefighter-paramedic.
Scratchy: And she stole his foot?
Daisy: She found his left foot and part of a leg at the scene after he had been rushed to hospital. And she took them. The reason she gave was that she intended using them in the training of her body recovery dog.
Scratchy: Her dog eats bodies?
Daisy: No, you witless flea-farm. Body recovery dogs are important at disaster scenes to help find victims, both alive and deceased. She trained and deployed such a dog. She, the trainer, is named Cynthia Economous, and she no longer works as a firefighter-paramedic. But this week the man whose foot she took sued her.
Scratchy: What for?
Daisy: For actions which were, and I quote, “outrageous and went beyond the bounds of decency” and which were “odious and utterly intolerable in a civilised society''.
Scratchy: I bet her dog gets fed better than I do. And don’t call me a flea-farm.

Leg of man? Not this dog, beef, chicken, maybe even pork but really we have to draw the line somewhere. Unless we're starving and that's all that's available.
Again, ewwww
