I do have a problem with accidentally creating legal personality for an animal and thereby inadvertently bringing Rover within the scope of the HRA. The line between humans and animals has been under attack for many years now by the best of intentioned people. <br /><br />Free country, I suppose, but I do wish people would grasp the idea that categories in law tend to expand so that if you want your dog to be a person he will have a right to life but at the same time, so does his dinner. Rover will have to become a vegetarian because we can no longer keep cows as food. <br /><br />The upshot of failing to keep up the line between humans and everything else is that they ultimately become one category and then you cannot wash your hands for fear of murdering bacteria and have to let children die of worms because the worms have the same right to life as the child does.Woman on a Rafthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08897415591130901416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-84459616870051377772014-02-03T12:32:17.847+00:002014-02-03T12:32:17.847+00:00Only if the dog wishes to register a formal compla...Only if the dog wishes to register a formal complaint of assault.Hogdayafternoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06188146617570775741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-55506259501447195352014-02-03T12:14:05.048+00:002014-02-03T12:14:05.048+00:00'They often put themselves on the line to prot...'They often put themselves on the line to protect their fellow officers.'<br /><br />Quite, entirely unpaid volunteers (though full board provided).
