Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) on Monday introduced the "Big Cats and Public Safety Protection Act," a bill that would prohibit private possession and breeding of tigers and other "big cats."

"I know it sounds like something you just read about when there's a tragic news story, but it's all too real for first responders who respond to a 911 call and are surprised to come face to face with a Bengal tiger," said Sen. Kerry. …

hahahaha!

10-20,000 big cats running around in the US?

Damn, I gotta get down to PetSmart more often. I'm falling behind.

Kerry, a Vietnam veteran testified about the use of
Tiger Balm on his sexual organs during nocturnal “cruises”
to Cambodia... He reportedly said it made him feel
“reminiscent of Gengis Khan”.

Just how big does a cat have to be to be a “big cat”?

I've got one that weighs damn near 20 pounds. And he's got quite an attitude, too. There should be a law, I tell you!

[Viennacon]

Well, at least he’s working for all those tax dollars. /SARC

If Bengal tigers weren’t such a popular house pet in the Middle East, none of this mob violence would be happening...

Ya know, the Sultan of Oman gave President Martin Van Buren a couple of tiger cubs.

Congress suggested that he donate the tigers to a zoo, and VB did.

It appears that JF'nK is just jealous that nobody, let alone a Sultan, offered him tigers. In typical 'rat fashion, if he can't get them for free, then nobody should be able to have them.

I remember when he promised he was going to put an end to Somali piracy, which terrified all pirates.

but it should be done at the state and local level, and if we ban them for taxpayers, then we should ban them for institutions and government bodies as well.

Hey! When Tigers are outlawed, only outlaws will have Tigers!

[SkyDancer]

Aw, cut him a break. No uniform, no protective equipment.

[annieokie]

Finally something is going to be done about that, why just last week my neighbor were saying “We need a Law....../s

[P-Marlowe]

My cat weighs about 25 pounds. Will I be in violation of this law?

[annieokie]

Benghazi.....Bengal..., close enough print it, our constituents won't know the diff., as long as they think we are doing something.

yeah, I can see how duffus could mix Libya and Tiger up./s

[GreatRoad]

I thought this was a Semmens article.

[lwoodham]

There is no need for this. The Alabama Crimson tide will protect all Americans from the Bengal Tigers.

[Boogieman]

True, but don’t you at least want to close that dang “tiger show” loophole? Let’s be reasonable!

[NonValueAdded]

And the enumerated power this comes under is?

[Ed Condon]

I think we need a “you can’t have desert until you eat your vegetables law”, for the congress critters.
The bill would require these a$$clowns to pass a budget, and the appropriations bills, before they address such things as the “protect people from the pussy that eats you” legislation.

[SeminoleCounty]

So....was John Kerry for Bengal Tigers...before he voted against them?

I am not too worried about tigers here in Florida....we have some big gators that will eat them
