Massachusetts finally said no to dog racing in the last election.

'bout time.

There's a line in 'Family Guy' where Brian the dog admonishes a joke about Greyhound Racing & refers to it as 'our holocaust'. Comedy is funniest when it's got some truth behind it.

I really have no damn use for 'pedigree' anything. It leads to inbred royalty and grotesquely deformed animals... and it feeds a weird compulsion in some humans to mold and dress up and parade animals around and turn them into little dolls, or something.

I like dogs, tho they require a great deal of attention if they are going to be good pets, and I also think they're best off in the country where they can run around free. I've never owned one.

I prefer good natured breeds of a medium to large size... small dogs usually annoy me. I want to punt them out the nearest window, usually.
