The mad dog and rabid cat have rights. PETA will do their best to see that all rabid creatures receive the best in medical treatment.

And like antisocial humans, these beings have problems which can be addressed and treated.

Rehabilitation is the watchword.

Just for the heck of it:

Hillary said that when she first set eyes on Bill Clinton back in college he had a beard and he reminded her of a Viking, which was perfect ............... because she reminded him of Iceland.
