      But but but then the dogs won't have jobs anymore! How will they pay their pet rent???

      What's this? I'm just now finding out that cop dogs are not only not compensated for their labour, it's actually illegal to compensate them or service animals?

      Nevertheless,

      The dog adpotion buisness in this country is FUBAR'd and they're trying to gentrify pet ownership.

      But that view is increasingly being challenged by groups including the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals — whose own president and chief executive, Matthew Bershadker, says he was turned down when he and his family looked for a dog about a year and a half ago. In fact, he was rejected twice.

      Once, he said, it was because the dog they had settled on was offered by an out-of-state group that required a pre-adoption home inspection. It didn’t have anyone to send to Bershadker’s residence in New York, so that was that. The second time, he said, “they simply said, ‘You work too much.’ Despite assurances of a dog walker . . . and a fenced yard, and I mean, it was kind of crazy.”

      I experienced this myself. It tramatized me. Now I curse the hell out of the TV any time one of those news stations put up adoption calls or there's some ad for an adoption agency.

    Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

          You need to make lots of 80s references, eat a lot of snacks, buy a motorcycle to never use, and team up with the only black main character on a major American TV network and ride around in his company car from the job he's never at.

    its a major indictment on our society that we dont all go "ok anyway" and legalize marijuana after some dickhead disingenuously goes "ok i havent heretofore gave a shit about the jobs of people but i suddenly care a lot about dog jobs (abusing animals into being narcs)"

    Don't the police in the US shoot like 50 dogs a day?

    Not to mention constantly killing their own dogs by leaving them in hot cars.

        Every time I see that posted on :reddit-logo: it makes me want to tear my eyes out.

        Oh cute pupper wholesome 100 now has titanium teeth with which to better rip the calf muscles off minorities

        Oh they military vets have to do this for the dogs it's for the dogs health they actually like having metal teeth.

          The real reason is they already use titanium for dental implants due to it readily fusing with bone, something other metals don't do

          They could also just not make the dogs bite so much shit their teeth fall out but fuck thay I guess

    Pretty sure I remember a similar argument in I think Michigan but instead it was that they'd have to put all the dogs down instead. Am I crazy, does anyone else remember that?

      I do remember that but I don't remember any details. I'm pretty sure the cops only went as far as threatening.
