Ok please don't get me wrong. I love animals. They provide companionship as well as nutrition. And before you get your LIbEral panties in a bunch, I said "companionship" first, so read into that part if you must.
From the Seattle Times this morning... Judge awards $45,480 in cat's death
Some dumb Seattle-ite had a stray cat she picked up as a kitten during her vacation in Israel many moons ago. Neighbor's dog was really into that whole Nature thing and decided to kill the cat. Stupidity ensued.
And yet I still want to move back to Seattle to be within throwing distance of these mental magicians?
Oh yay, we need more lawyers Judge Linde determined that Roemer should receive $30,000 in replacement value for the loss of her cat, $15,000 for emotional distress, $90 to recoup the cost of having Yofi cremated, $80 in medical expenses and $24.12 in interest.
The judgment may be among the largest amounts nationwide in lawsuits over the loss of pets, according to Roemer's attorney, Adam Karp of Bellingham, a specialist in cases involving animals.
"I do think it's the largest in our state for any type of animal, excluding, say, a Thoroughbred or other commercially valuable pets, or service animals," Karp said. "And I'm pretty sure it's the largest for a cat."
If you think you're pissed now, just read this next one. Oh God what a dumbfuckfest.
YOU IDIOT FUCKTARD OF A WOMAN. DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT "RATIONAL" MEANS?!? RATIONAL?!?
D-U-M Dumb "I didn't go to court to get money," she said. "I could either burn his house down or I could go and shoot his dogs in front of him and shoot him, or I could shoot myself. So I decided to be rational and get a lawyer."
Let's go through the definition, shall we? Hmm, "having or exercising the ability to reason?" Well let's see... a natural enemy of my cat killed my cat, so let's sue my neighbor! STRIKE ONE, DUMBHOLE. "Of sound mind; sane"?
Lemmethinkaboutthatforasecond NO.
"Consistent with or based on reason; logical"? YEAH RIGHT. GET BENT.And there's another definition if you scroll down a few lines... "Influenced by reasoning rather than by emotion". Oh yes. Any sane person would've gone the suing-your-neighbor route, I'm sure.
What the fuck is wrong with you people?!? If at any time during this rant you thought I was wrong or overreacting, you are cordially invited to Fuck Yourself. Please close this window as you have exceeded the SHoP's bandwidth for incoming STUPID. Please try again later.
If nothing else (and here's where I calm down and use reason and logic rationally), this sets a very dangerous precedent for litigation in the future. And when that precedent is set, the Party's Over. Not only are devious people now encouraged to get animals for the express purpose of having predators kill them for lawsuit purposes, eventually this will lead to something completely idiotic like comprehensive registration and maybe even prohibition of domesticated animals in Seattle. And why? All because one woman decided to let the demonstrably irrational judicial system mete out its special brand of judgment. In simple terms for you democrud Little Brains out there, She Ruined It For Everybody.
And no, you're right. It isn't Ruined. Yet. But that's a lot of what this feel-good legislation and feel-good judicial legislation accomplishes. And that's typical Democrud. If one person is in a world of shit, let's go ahead and drag everybody else down to that level. Yeah? Well FUCK YOU and your level playing fields. FUCK YOU and your mentally deranged ideas about equality and fairness.
that's all. FUCK YOU i'm gonna get some work done

ps- if you were crafty enough to catch the clever "judicial legislation", good for you! You're welcome to the SHoP anytime you want.
