Reply #12: I'm not talking about the law as it stands

[Lyric]

I'm talking about my POV. I know it probably makes me sound rather ridiculous, but I don't believe that dogs and cats should be held to higher standards than other animals. Like I said, I am 100% behind any law that would make keeping large snakes as pets illegal. But in the meantime, I think the life of a rabbit or a chicken is worth every bit as much as the life of a 3 week old puppy. It bothers me that our legal system doesn't feel the same way. I've seen rabbits use a litter box and play fetch. I've seen chickens that were trained to "count" and snuggled with people on their couches, heads tucked under their wings. I don't understand how the law can differentiate between them like this.

What bothers me is the inconsistency of the law, more than anything. If it's okay to feed a terrified rabbit to a snake, why not a puppy? In my perfect world, keeping big snakes would be illegal and rabbits and chickens would be as protected by the law as dogs and cats are.
Just my personal opinion. :hi:
