Would you care if the legal term was changed from owner to guardian when it comes to your dog??

Question

NOW it starts…read the article below dated today. The LEGAL talk of the need for ‘guardianship’ will sweep over the nation in the guise of peoples’ need to take action and receive remuneration for the loss of a pet (loved one). This is NOT GOOD … once we are ‘guardians’ our rights as property owners will no longer exist, and the days of owning an animal will be numbered.

Answer 1

*MY* dog...BUTT OUT!!

Have you noticed the increased use of "adopt" instead of BUY?? Same scary incidious CRAP!

Answer 2

I'm kind of surprised to see you asking a question this must have really gotten under your skin.
I really think it is a over emotion due to the situation of the recall and the nature of the poisoning. I really dont see this ever happening once calmer heads look at the laws. Right now you can expect anything from really distraut pet owners, and I really can't blame them, but when all is said and done nothing is going to change.
This is only my opinion.

Answer 3

Yes I would. Not that I or anyone that I know would be cruel to an animal, but this liberal crap has to stop somewhere. Next, the liberals will want dogs to vote. I don't know why they don't find more constructivew causes, like care for the aged, homeless and single parent family. What about trying to restore family values and maybe bring God and Jesus back into the lives of the lost and dammed. What about creating employment. eh?

Answer 4

What bothers me is the implication (or at least to me) that the dog is in my care on a temparary basis not "till death do us part" which is pretty much what I interprate ownership....
We were just discussing this kinda thing at the dog event I was at - that everyone feel responsible for their dogs lifelong even if they let them go live with someone else (heck one just ended up taking charge of a dog ASHES when the owner had no room)........
At least two owners mentioned feeling responsible for the dogs OFFSPRING......

Answer 5

This is one example of how animal liberationists get a small, seemingly innocuous law passed. It gives them more power to get the next one and the next one etc. This, incidentally, is also how POWs were convinced to commit unpatriotic acts. Hmmm.

Answer 6

Think about it, this will only mean more stray dogs, people not being held accountable for their dog biting someone and millions more of homeless puppies.
