Skunks on a bus!

For once in a blue moon, a city council committee told an special interest group to take a hike. A bunch of well meaning dog, cat, ferret and skunk owners wanted to take their pets on city buses. That caught the attention of the two biggest ferrets on council, Doucet and Cullen. Let's give it a try for six months they demanded. Drop dead said the transportation committee... and rightly so.

I have empathy for pet owners who need to get fluffy to the vet, but if our cat is any evidence, a vet bill is always much higher than a cab bill. If you can't afford the cab, maybe you can't afford the pet.

Tough talk but maybe it's about time someone said it.
