Commentary, sarcasm and snide remarks from a Florida resident of over thirty years. Being a glutton for punishment is a requirement for residency here. Who am I? I've been called a moonbat by Michelle Malkin, a Right Wing Nut by Daily Kos, and middle of the road by Florida blog State of Sunshine. Tell me what you think.

The Knuckleheads of the Day award

Today's winner is Chuck Mock and all owners of wild and dangerous animals who keep them as pets. It was reported yesterday that Russell Lala, a 10-year old Royalton Minnesota boy will be a quadripelegic for life after he was attacked by two of the beasts owned by Mr. Mock.

In the case of Mr. Mock these animals were registered with the state. I don't a flying leap if they were, these are wild animals who shouldn't be in the care of anyone but a zoo. Attacks like the one on the Lala boy are becoming far too common because there are some ill educated morons out there who think these animals are cute. They are a menace!

Where is the MSM on this issue? What was it less than two years ago right here in Palm Beach county where the nitwit 4th rate Tarzan actor had one of his cats escape and get killed. The MSM was all over that story, Poor Bobo and it's owner. So why aren't they calling for a end to this idiotic practice now? Can someone tell me.

Update- On June 30th the Sun-Sentinel correctly editorialized that "State and federal laws, clearly designed for professionally operated zoos and preserves, must be tightened to prevent oddballs like Sipek from indulging dangerous obsessions. Palm Beach County, too, should outlaw the animals except in bona-fide zoos."
