Rick Scott Approves Artificially Dyeing Of Animals

Source: Huffington Post

Florida Governor Rick Scott just approved an agricultural bill, which permits animals to be dyed neon green and dayglo pink.

But don't dip any live Easter peeps into dye just yet -- the bill legalizing such Technicolor pets doesn't go into effect until July 1.

Florida Sen. Ellyn Bogdanoff, R-Fort Lauderdale, snuck Amendment 303390, repealing a 45-year-old ban on artificially dying or coloring certain animals or fowl, onto HB Bill 1197, which revises certain agriculture codes in the state. Her amendment also permits chicks to be sold before they are 4 weeks old.

Florida Senate Democratic Minority Leader Nan Rich, who tried to block the amendment, said the original ban was to ensure "that we don't have a lot of adorable ducks, rabbits and chickens that are given away at Easter time and look so cute, and then 2 or 3 or 4 months later nobody wants them.”

Did they legalize strapping the dog to the roof of the car too?

1. Another RepubliCON law appealing to the libertarian individualistic fallacy.

You can thank Ayn Rand for a generation of young conservatives with unchecked narcissism and individualistic entitlement. (And they accuse us libs of being entitled!)
