America and pet laws..

[VictorCharlie]

The "what if" game? Are you actually telling me that some average joe meathead
owning one of the most effective, dangerous killing machines on the planet in a
residential neighbourhood shouldn't be anyone's concern? I shouldn't have
questions as to whether or not said meathead can properly contain a tiger? And I
shouldn't have concerns about the animal's well being?

I'm saying you are making a huge deal about something that simply isn't a big deal. If you are going to ask the gov't to make a law telling people how they should/should not live their life then it should be over something important and meaningful. This isn't. Get back to me when being mauled by a wild animal is a real concern for even 1% of Americans.

I love the "reactive vs proactive" attitude, too: "we know it's dangerous and
potentially tragic, but let's wait until some real bad shit happens before we do
anything about it. And I'm not talking a few tragedies, I want tragedy to happen
on a consistent basis before I start caring". Jesus Christ…

Being proactive for the sake of being proactive leads to bad laws.
