It’s the big issue of our Time, and up til now, no one was talking about it. I guess only a man with the stones to serve in Vietnam could tackle such a crucial issue.

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

What exactly qualifies as “private possession”? Privately owned animal sanctuaries or zoos? Circuses? Hollywood animal trainers? Or are we just going to ban Joe Citizen from owning these animals?

I think it’s generally a dumb idea for people to own these things, and I’m not opposed to bans or at least licensing and regulation, 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.

There was a time he would have laughed out of Senate for trying to pass a federal bill protecting people from tigers....

I wonder how many other senators rolled their eyes... And thought what an asshat...

But those big nanny staters think the federal government is supposed to do everything....

‘Got nothing better to do than to jam up the Senate with frivolity, does he.’

That's about what I expect from that Traitorous, Dipsh*t. He is part of the 98% of politicians that give the other 2% a bad name.

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

The greater danger is from the fat cat politicians in D.C.
