Random Soapbox for Saturday 7/20/13

I don't mean to go off on a rave here, but ...

[still committed ... once a month ... to rave instead of rant weely ...]

... thank goodness the Sochi folks caved when it came to their plan to mass exterminate about 2000 stray cats and dogs before the Olympics.

Who cares about Snowden living on the cold frozen tarmac spilling spy secrets, when it comes to suggesting a boycott, I was ready to join the effort based on the approach of "we must kill them for the protection of the athletes and the improvement of our city's image".  Supposedly, (and very very quickly after news first broke, I might add with just a touch of suspicion), a non-profit will now build a shelter, and efforts will be undertaken to treat and sterilize instead of annihilate in advance of the games.

Want to make me rave more?  If you are in the market for a new family member, please visit your local shelter to adopt today (I just stopped by the local PAWS to donate the rest of Baby's experimental old-cat food and I can attest that there are many animals seeking a forever home).  And, in the words of the late great Bob Barker (he is dead, right?) ... don't forget to spay or neuter your pets (to help control the stray population)!

THE PLAN THAT REVERSES THE ORIGINAL PLAN (HOORAY)!:
