Okay, Pennsylvania's Libre Law was named for a dog. We admit it. But it's a good law.
Libre was rescued as a puppy after being severely abused on a farm in Lancaster County. His story has a happy ending — not just because he's been nursed back to health, but also because his ordeal resulted in greater protections for pups and stricter penalties for animal abuse. Here he is, looking on as Democratic Governor Tom Wolf signs the bill. (We hear he put his paw print next to the Governor's signature.)
So, of the two Congressional candidates in tomorrow's special election in PA-18, which one do you think opposed Libre's Law?
Yep, you got it — Republican Rick Saccone. He was one of only 20 state reps to vote against the bill. A hundred and sixty-seven others thought it was a swell idea, and so do we.
You know what else would be swell? If Democrat Conor Lamb beats Saccone's butt tomorrow. The latest Monmouth poll says he just might. In the meantime, we have to wonder — how could two guys named Lamb and Wolf not be in favor of animal rights? We cats PURR.
UPDATE, March 13: Anything can happen in PA-18 today, but it sounds like Rick Saccone has seen some bad-for-him internal polling. He bleated last night that Conor Lamb and his supporters "have a hatred for our country... a hatred for God." The words of a loser-to-be, we think. Our paws are crossed, and we PURR.
