Exotic Pets in Kuwait?
A friend of mine at work started laughing hysterically (did I spell that right?) out of nowhere today. Looking over I saw why. Unfortunately, it is a sad and funny reason. There is a website, which I will not disclose even though I am sure it has made it to multiple sites, where you can buy pets in Kuwait. These range from dogs and cats to an animal that looks like (and may well be!) a cheetah and other animals such as monkeys and gazelles!
Without any research into this, does the common person even know how to take care of these types of animals, many of which are babies? I mean seriously, what would you feed a gazelle? What about a monkey? They had a crocodile as well!
Not only are some of these animals dangerous, but I bet they were illegally brought into the country. Sure, having a monkey that can fetch the morning paper and make coffee sounds pretty cool, but in reality I don’t see it as a feasable pet for the home.
Maybe I am wrong. Maybe this is a professional organization looking to sell exotic pets to people and give them the correct training to take care of them. I highly doubt that though, as most of the experience I have had over here involving people and their pets is just sad. The average person over here seems to have very little idea how to take care of something like a dog or cat. How can they take care of one of these animals?
Looks like another person out to make a buck, or KD in this case.
Executive Privelege Invoked to Shield Cheney
Quite frankly, this is total crap. The president and his VP should not be immune to legal preceedings because they don’t want their dirty laundry aired out. I mean he already commuted the sentence of Scooter Libby regarding a scandal…
For anyone who doesn’t know, this is regarding who leaked the name of an FBI agent and endangered the lives of her and her family. The husband of Valerie Plame had questioned the information we used to serve as cause to invade Iraq, and all of a sudden it is public knowledge that she is an FBI agent. He questioned a claim made by Bush at the 2003 State-of-the-Union address regarding Iraq buying uranium from Africa, even though this claim had been investigated and disputed in 2002!
Read for yourself… this is absurd.
July 16 (Bloomberg) — President George W. Bush invoked executive privilege to avoid turning over records of an FBI interview of Vice President Dick Cheney and other documents subpoenaed by Congress in the CIA leak investigation.
