More like a minimum wage for dogs.

[technochick99]

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

[NorCalRepub]

well at least now they will have some standard to go by so some of these idiots that own pets but let them starve or such will not go unpunished.....

[mhking]

Just damn.

If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

My dog eats very well...he gets at least three cats a day...

[Spok]

Can you eat your dog in SF? It seems that such a prohibition would be terribly discriminatory and culturally insensitive. (In Peru, they eat guinea pigs.)

[kellynla]

another day, another reason not to live in San Fancissyco! LMAO

[TontoKowalski]

Providing legal standards of living for pets is ridiculous.

But, I still believe there's a special little corner of hell set aside for people who are cruel to animals and children.

TC Rider's dog would require a few other ammenities.

squeeky toys

plush dog bed

leather sofa for naps

regularly scheduled grooming

those tasty liver treats that come in the little milk cartons

Emma - TC Rider's dog

Mark my words: the eating of meat will be prohibited in San Francisco within 5 years.


After all, who will speak for the chickens?

[pissant]

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

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

[NYer]

Bumpity bump!

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.

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"!

San Francisco has no issues more pressing than dog rights.
