POPSSaudi Arabia bans sale of dogs, cats in capital This reminds me of the old joke, "Why do Baptists disapprove of sex? It could lead to dancing." This is an example of religious governance leading to interference in what should be totally secular areas of life. Of course we in the west pamper and coddle our pets, and often react with revulsion at the notion that there are places in the world where dogs are food animals. It's slightly more understandable in the case of dogs, because Islam considers them unclean, but that doesn't explain the ban on cats as well. The story about the Chinese emperor who cut the sleeve from a priceless robe rather than disturb his sleeping kitten has also been told about Mohammed. The article also fails to explain why the law applies only to men. If they realized that by allowing women to own pets, they have a privelege men don't, the entire fabric of Saudi society could come unraveled.

True, we now have some poodles of our own: ...But as a community, we have remained dispossessed from economic stability or land ownership rights within the Hadera-Gedera confines -- the two cities that chart the north and south margins of Israel's center. We've been the precarious tenants in Israel's gainful employment zone. As a community, we are the demographic majority of citizens, and on us rests Israel's regime. But we do not get much in return. We are the majority in the long welfare lines, the long NGO food-for-the-hungry lines, and the long lines at the forced employment agencies. We are always the majority in the occasional marches, sit-ins and demonstrations of the homeless. A straight line stretches from the Kinneret colony's expulsion of Yemenis i

POPSJapanese fooled in poodle scam. Now, the article claims that, since sheep are rare in Japan, it's not unbelievable that people didn't know what they looked like, and were thusly fooled. But seriously, they know what dogs look like, and they should have known immediately that, "Hey, I don't know what that is, but it's not a dog. What's up with it's feet? They're like... hooves or something." I mean, I know poodles are horrid little inbred dogs, but come on, really? Japan, you're just yankin' my chain, aren't you.
