wow. i'm not unsympathetic to the fact that people have gotten sort of out of hand in the degree to which they pamper their animals, so i'm not as easily disturbed by claims of pet maltreatment as others. there's enough human mistreatment to keep me busy.

but this is, in my view, beyond the pale. and more than a little weird.

People did all kinds of stupid things twenty years ago, before pet advocacy really emphasized not doing them, like leaving your pet in the car, even just for a few minutes. Living in a rural area, we still see people with hunting trucks with cages in the back, but strapped down and sheltered. Strapping a family pet to the roof of the car, even many years ago, however, seems to me like one of those things you just know not to do. But when an animal is so frightened that it get diarhea, and the human reponse is to leave it where it is and hose it off, then take off for more...?

Yeah, it's the weirdness thing that hits hardest with me too. It's bizarre - and I'm really wondering what this windsheild for the dog on the roof entailed.

Total lack of empathy. We don't need another one like that in the White House.
