Reply #22: What a nice strawman argument...

First of all, I OWN a dog from the pound. Would you like to remove the foot from your mouth or do you want to keep making huge assumptions about me?

And second of all, you think getting a dog that could kill Malia due to her allergies is the right thing to do? Wonderful idea! The Obamas made a donation to one of the shelters in D.C. I hope it was a large one because these organizations do need help in their efforts to help abandoned animals. My principles aren't any different than yours other than the fact that I value human life more than a dog's or cat's. Sorry if that upsets you. Malia's health comes first. She has bad allergies. Basically under your guidelines, you are saying it's better that they get a dog from a shelter that could potentially kill her. That is a fucking ridiculous notion. I love animals but if I were a parent I'd never get an animal that could kill my child due to allergies. Luckily for me I'm planning on avoiding kids and I have no allergies myself so my current dog will not be a problem.
