Chillax, Dogly. I would never attempt to raise an exotic pet. It's way too risky for the owner and the animal, and yes, it does endanger wildlife. I just meant that I want one cuz they are so unbelieveably cute. It's a figure of speech.

What the heck!  I replied to a post about cute pet sloths.  Suddenly they turned into chihuahuas!   Dallas, did you post a piece about sloths, or am I hallucinating?

Oh, no! Don't tell me that sloths are the new fad pet.  And, please, don't tell me that Dallas Gaytheist really wants to OWN (buy??) an animal who belongs in the trees of South America.   Animal advocates are trying to outlaw the sale, importation and possession of exotic species.  The fact they are cute is not an excuse to exploit them.  Dallas, did you mean you would like to adopt a rescued sloth?  Of course you did!

Unbearably cute. I want one for my very own.

@ George, I've been meaning to read that story, but haven't found time yet. This may be worth a letter-writing campaign. That's just unfair.

This week I tried listening to Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer, and I hated it. I didn't even finish the first CD. I think he writes like a 13 year-old, and his word play is sophomoric. And it didn't help that the narrator was just awful, too. He made the mistake of "reading" the book to you, instead of telling you the story.

Nevada air cargo worker loses job after reporting animal abuse

Lynn Jones was a baggage handler at Reno-Tahoe International Airport when she saw an emaciated hunting dog, its paws bloody, its body covered with sores.

The listless pointer was lying in a pet carrier in the cargo area of the airport on Nov. 15, waiting to be shipped to Texas.

"The Transportation Safety Authority officers couldn't even get the dog to stand up to be X-rayed," said Jones, who was then an employee of Airport Terminal Services, the facility's contractor.

...

Jones said her supervisor told her to load the dog on the plane because the animal's paperwork was in order and its condition wasn't her concern. She said she was warned she would lose her job if she kept carrying on about the dog.
