Once a people have relinquished their right to self-defense and completely placed their fate in the hands of idiots whose only talent is whoring for various offices, they will find that these newly empowered whores will always get down to the serious business of placing barriers, regulations, fees and restrictions on the most minute detail of the lives of their hapless, helpless subjects.
In the midst of a war against our very civilization, the aforementioned imperial whores of the British Parliament have found time to consider legislation that will create a "Bill of Rights" for pets. These are not your run-of-the-mill, common-sense, humane society guidelines. This is an edict from on high. This is the pernicious arrogance of pompous peacocks who know better than you how to care for your cats and dogs. And, the sad thing is that as sure as a found kitten purrs, these laws will cause untold suffering among England's poor animal friends.
After the law takes effect, codes of conduct for different types of pets will be introduced. For instance, the proposed cat code is 18 pages! It includes such much-needed legislation as:
1. Keep the animal indoors at night to protect it from other wildlife
2. Ensure the animal's preference for privacy is met by giving it a hidden-away place with cat litter to relieve itself.
3. Give the animal a toy so that its catching behaviour can be stimulated.
4. Ensure that the animal receives "mental stimulation" so that it does not become bored or frustrated.
Now, I have no problem with any of these things. But to make them law?!?! Of course, they claim the codes will be advisory and that most pet owners "will not notice this law." Does anyone believe that?
Here's what I believe. A gigantic bureaucracy will be established to build, maintain and enforce these intrusions. In order to pay for it, licensing fees will be increased for individual pet owners as well as for institutions like shelters, boarding, grooming and private charity establishments. When the price of something increases, you get less of it. That is a natural law that no gaggle of vote whores can repeal.
A few more brand new expenses of having a pet and for all the ancillary businesses and charity organizations that care for animals will come from lawyers and insurance to protect against the government intrusion.
Folks who might now be cajoled into taking in a homeless kitten will be leery. The charities that care for these animals and find homes for them operate with zero margin. They will be driven out of business by lawsuits from the "animal rights" extremists. New people who might wish to care for a feral colony or start up a non-profit will be advised by lawyers to stay a hundred miles away from any involvement. They could easily run afoul of the law and lose everything at the whim of a legal system that would send a man to prison for defending his home from thugs (see Tony Martin). And, any "code" that could come up with 18 pages on how to treat your cat will have plenty of wiggle room for predatory lawyers and overzealous prosecutors to attack.
How many kittens and puppies will be deprived of a home? How many feral colonies will burgeon out of control? How many hearts will be broken?
Just as crime skyrockets after well-meaning gun control laws, so will animal misery increase with these overreaching outrages.
Nobody cares more for their pets than their owners. To think that a bunch of busybody bureaucrats can improve things with their idiocy is insane.
More British idiocy - Islamo-fascists running wild in British prisons.
