I awoke this morning with vague unhappy thoughts . . . there was a dream somewhere that I peed on myself. Maybe it was the morning cold. After I flushed the toilet, I sat down in front of the computer - and saw this article:
"SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico - Animal control workers seized dozens of dogs and cats from housing projects in the town of Barceloneta and hurled them from a bridge to their deaths, authorities and witnesses said Friday. Mayor Sol Luis Fontanez blamed a contractor hired to take the animals to a shelter."
It also said: "Fontanez said the city hired Animal Control Solution to clear three housing projects of pets after warning residents about a no-pet policy."
It also said: "But instead of being taken to a shelter, the pets and strays were thrown 50 feet from a bridge in the neighboring town of Vega Baja, according to Fontanez, witnesses and activists, apparently before dawn Tuesday."
Today is Saturday. For four days, this story has been marching up the long road to international consciousness. I am so embarrassed. I have barbarian brethren.
