S.F. Sets Dog Standard of Living

They should be setting recipe standards instead, and feed the stray dogs and pound puppies to the homeless.

[kellynla]

you know there are already laws on the books for abusing dogs...
but they don't mind murdering babies there now do they!!!

this is just more BS from San Francissyco where homos can marry and people can defecate on your front door!

talk about having your standards screwed up!

you might like living there but I'll take a Pasadena! LMAO

[massgopguy]

My thoughts exactly. If you can't own an animal, then it's not your's to kill. IF you can't kill it, you can't eat it. Therefore the meat of killed animals will not be allowed in San Fransico.

I like the law that makes it illegal for your dog's water dish to tip over. This is enforcible how?

[NeoCaveman]

Does this mean if the dog is a poor companion you can sue the dog for damages?

Nope. But if you dump your dog for a younger dog, you might get sued for alpo-limony :^)

I would consider "guardian" to be a promotion. My two guys pretty much think of me as their faithful servant.

[NYer]

Bumpity bump!

I have to admit I agree with you.

You'd have to be pretty stupid not to know how to treat a dog, but we ARE talking about San Francisco here.

Well, I'm sure these standards don't reach the actual living standards of my pups

They won't come anywhere near the living standards of my 3 very spoiled cats

My dog even has his own vehicle!
And don't you try pulling out of the driveway without him! LOL

[UlmoLordOfWaters]

ROTFLMAO!

That's too funny.

Proud parent of a wonderful yellow-lab who is sooooo spoiled (and of course the pefect nine-yeard old daughter who is the dog's "real mommy" ;-)

Oh, give me a break. Every thread discussing animal cruelty on FR brings the usual lame "tough guy" talk out-- I'll beat an animal if I want to, none of the gubmint's business, blah, blah, blah. So grating. In this case the law is probably quite reasonable.

You know, it's not exactly oppression to require that people provide adequate food, water, and shelter for dogs. And if you live in a place like I do, which is like most of the United States, legal controls on dogs are far too lax. I see poor brutes chained up outside in the cold all night, with no adequate shelter. And no, it's *not* already illegal. Dogs roam around free in farm areas, to be hit by cars. And so on.

There is certainly *not* a problem with animal overregulation when it comes to dog care. The reverse is true: an abundance of cruel or negligent owners.

There are plenty of reason to bash liberals. Why not do it for good ones?

Every time I hear about another "big one" I check to see if San Francisco has slid into the ocean.

I don't meet your definition. I posted the article to make fun of the "pet guardian" designation.

People who can't use common sense when it comes to animals shouldn't be allowed to own them.

(...tweak tweak twiddle...)

People who can't use common sense when it comes to "things that can be owned" shouldn't be allowed to own them.

There, I fixed it.

Even more, can your dog sue your estate for "palimony" when you croak or if you get another dog and transfer your affections to it?

Ha! our little guy (temple dog) is 19 y.o. Laso Ahpso. He definetly has my wie wrapped around his gray paw. Meats, Meats and more Meats. Mention meats at dinner time and he goes running around the house all excited for the Meats.

He sleeps on the bed with us and demands his half out of the middle--a bit of an idiot dog but just looks damn cute says mrsbigkahua. These days he sleeps 27 hours out of the day--what the hell he's an old guy and can do just about anything he wants...and he does. can't listen worth a damn when you call him, unless its "Meats Time"!
