"Roll the ugliness." is Steve Martin's response to a Latin American padre who has come to show him a videotape of illegal 'cat juggling' in an attempt to secure a donation of money from the wealthy character of Navin Johnson. Some things in life are just plain wrong! Cat juggling is one of them.Fortunately, thanks to Mr. Johnson's generous donation, cat juggling has been virtually eliminated in almost all western countries. There are a few remote areas in the third world where it is still allowed however, and local activists are working hard to put a stop to this travesty.
'Hampster bowling' and 'ferret twirling' are on the rise however so be alert for any signs of these illegal activities in your neighborhood. Although these are clearly within the jurisdiction of The Bureau of Rodent Offenses (TBRO) and not the responsibility of the Mammal Trauma Unit (MTU) as is the case with cat juggling, any offense toward any pet or animal is unforgivable.
On a serious note, former Falcon's quarterback, Michael Vick has been sentenced to house arrest recently (although he rightfully belongs behind bars) for his cruel treatment of dogs. The inhumane treatment of animals is everyone's business and is of moral significance for the human race as the protectors of and advocates for our pets.
