Hey, don't fish have rights too?

From the Far Left Coast City by the Bay, comes this story:

Sell a guinea pig, go to jail.

That's the law under consideration by San Francisco's Commission of Animal Control and Welfare. If the commission approves the ordinance at its meeting tonight, San Francisco could soon have what is believed to be the country's first ban on the sale of all pets except fish. [emphasis added]

That includes dogs, cats, hamsters, mice, rats, chinchillas, guinea pigs, birds, snakes, lizards and nearly every other critter, or, as the commission calls them, companion animals.

Read the rest here. The article says hamsters (aka small rats) are the pet, sorry, "companion animal" most likely to be euthanized in San Fran. So why don't they just ban the sale of those? Although tou would think with all the tree-hugger, PETA lovin' folks out there, that a 100% ban on pet sales wouldn't even be up for discussion. Go figure.
