Now I've seen it all. My roommate, the tall kid, and I were hanging out tonight watching the local 10 o'clock news. Not much happened in town tonight, apparently. There was an interesting story that ran tonight, however that got my attention. Last night there was a black tie affair at the civic center to benefit the Humane Society. Cameras were present to record all of the festivities. As the reporter told the story, it became obvious that the event was intended to raise money for spaying and neutering animals - cats and dogs specifically. I suppose that this is a good cause. The thing that disturbed me, though was how this event played out. Find rich people. Invite them to a snazzy party. Feed them fancy appetizers. Get them good and liquored up. Take their money. Spend the money to administer invasive medical procedures on your pets.
If it were up to me and, I had control over a hammered rich guy's wallet at a Humane Society function, I'd use the money to figure out a way to remove the vocal cords of dogs. Or maybe the money could be used to research a way to prevent dogs from wagging their tails all of the time. Don't they know how stupid that looks? Better yet, that money could be spent to research ways to keep dogs from digging holes.
These are just some of my thoughts on the matter, though . . . I don't even have a tuxedo.
