Should dogs be citizens? It’s not as crazy as you think. (Huh?)

[Kaslin]

More of this idiocy in the link

[Scrambler Bob]

But they will vote conservative.

[TheDon]

It’s not as crazy as you think.

Actually it is.

[Da Coyote]

Just when you think the title of “professor” cannot be demeaned any further.

We really, REALLY need different titles for those possessing real degrees.

[jazusamo]

100% of PETA nuts, animal rights nuts and vegans agree.

[Boogieman]

They can’t vote, they can’t take an oath of loyalty, they can’t attest that they even know what country they are in, much less what the laws are.

So, no, it’s not even remotely possible that they can fulfill the duties of citizenship. I suppose we could draft them...

[kevkrom]

Just, don’t. Vox’s business model is to put out click-bait headlines.

They’re trolling you.

On purpose.

Just ignore them.

[moose07]

Hoooowwwwwlllll !

[ClearCase_guy]

Can the right to arm bears be far behind?

[WayneS]

No.

[goldstategop]

[Paladin2]

Dogs have the right of free speech.

[C210N]

This makes sense, if as the number of dog animals become citizens, an equal number of other animals lose their citizenship. For the latter, there are many deserving - looters and moochers and the like.

[Codeflier]

All part of the eventual “marry your pet” campaign.

[Gefn]

What about kittehs? Too busy napping?

[WayneS]

This is nothing more than an exercise in semantics by a bored philosopher.

[SandRat]

Rodents will vote RAT. DummyRAT.

[PATRIOT1876]

No one told him that Animal Farm was meant to be metaphoric!

[goldstategop]

A German Shepherd has the IQ of a three year old child.

People and their pets..yuck. Nobody has children anymore, they all have dogs to whom they give human names and even wheel around in strollers. It’s not all only nutty ladies - I have seen grown men carrying around a dog strapped to their chest in one of those infant carriers, or pushing a stroller with a couple of dogs in it.

Pets are pets. They’re fun, nice to have around to explain mysterious creakings in your house when you’re there alone...still, they are not human beings. But the liberals are so lonely and self-obsessed that they believe Poochy is listening to their every word and is the only one who really understands them. (That’s why the most common injury for dogs in Sweden is sexual injuries...from human beings.)
