Palin's paw posture
September 11th 2008 00:31
A sad sight
I sat down with my two greyhounds recently, took a forepaw in each hand, looked them in the eye and said, "I do solemnly declare that I will never use the Zoomies blog to post political content."
Luckily, they don't read the blog so they probably won't find out that I am about to break my promise.
The reason for my treachery is alarm over the stance of Sarah Palin on animal rights. As if it's not bad enough that she joined the same political party as George Bush, I have now read the following about her: "Sarah Palin has so far shown a level of hostility to animal interests that is well outside the norm."
The words come from the very credible Karen Dawn at the animal advocacy site DawnWatch, and you can read the whole post here.
Karen Dawn is scrupulously non-partisan, but I'm not. With Palin also anti-gun control, which makes her pro-death, I have to ask, shouldn't a vice-presidential candidate be a little more likeable?
