"^ Monitoring for abnormal behavior."
Too bad Lerk doesn't get that. :)
"^ Protection from pain, suffering, injury and disease."
Here in the US, far too many people don't get that.
On the surface, that seems horrible, people don't get the same rights, but in reality, it's probably just going for basic care of animals. I'm a big believer in taking care of animals, but taking care of humans first. (I'm glad my girl doesn't read this site : ) On the flip side, it's appalling that folks here go to the mall to drop $400 on an inbred dog while many, many are dying in shelters every day. Stupid, stupid people.
