  1. Oh, I am sure taking a car ride out of the city to buy a hamster is going to be fine and dendy by the environmental types.
    The law of unintended consequences is absolutely priceless.

  2. Faster, please, indeed. This is what happens when governments (of any level) expand beyond their core duties into social engineering (which is, pretty much, every single government, local, state/provincial, and federal, in North America).

  4. But the moonbats inist on living there!
    A 1100 sq. foot bungalo which rings you $300k in TO suburbs costs $850k to $1.1 million.
    My friend worked for Adobe as a lead developer and still could not afford to buy a house.
    This is Toronto times 10. I wonder if the city core votes for American equivalent of NDP?..

  5. Is it just me…or does anyone else suspect that there might well be a vastly different reason why hamsters are at the forefront of this (hint: San Francisco) issue?

  7. We used to just feed out excess hamster babies to my room mate’s iguana. Perhaps it should be compulsory to own an iguana if you want hamsters?

  11. Colin from Mission B.C. nails it.
    Great one liner Kate. The sooner the better and take Toronto along.

  12. Your related read for the month: “The Progressives Legacy of Bankruptcy”

  14. That would be St. Andrew
    if I was wealthy enough, I would found a college in SF called the College of St Andrew and its Latin motto would be MEA NON CULPA
    you figure it out!

  15. On a moonbat related note, I spent some time looking at crazy vehicles from the Burning Man festival today. Lots of loony-tune California artsy types all over that. Though it might be kinda keen to strap a shark head to the front of my race car and tool around in the desert for a week checking out the scenery. Nice mountains, y’unnerstand. 🙂
    Tickets are three hundred bucks, my friends. $300.00 yowza. For this you bring your own art, camping kit, food, water, and toilet paper. The company supplies portapoties and a big wooden statue they burn up at the end of the week, security etc. is volunteers.
    50,000 people attended last year. That guy who runs this thing is one rich hippie.
    Maybe they could put him in charge of San Francisco for a year or two, he’d probably have the place turning a profit.

  16. Even odds on the San Francisco Board Of Supervisors allowing the continued intercourse of hamsters under the hammer.

  17. I am shocked. This is completely wrong. Every progressive knows that bans are not nearly as effective as regulation, taxes and increased bureaucracy.
    The proper course would have been to jack up the cost of pet shop business permits, mandate a point of sale humane society fee to make hamster ownership prohibitively expensive and start a pet owner registry with background checks, home visits, etc. How will government and unions profit from a straight ban?

  18. “maniacally racing on their exercise wheels at 2 a.m.”
    Ain’t that the truth. We recently put-down my daughters mouse(cause he was dying), she was very sad. That little buggar (Mappy) was on that wheel every night for hours. No more rodents!
    We’ll be getting the kid a small parrot instead.
    It goes without saying that the proposed law is so wrong in every way.
    Also, who the heck takes a rodent to the SPCA? Be a man and kill it in a humane way if you don’t want it. Don’t be a coward and pass the buck while at the same time condemning the little critter to an extremely stressful last few weeks. Pathetic!

  20. “Is it just me…or does anyone else suspect that there might well be a vastly different reason why hamsters are at the forefront of this (hint: San Francisco) issue?”
    LOL. Yes, they have a teeming surplus of hamsters but gerbils, on the other hand, are constantly in short supply!

  23. It’s all the bad pet owners’ fault!
    (I get it Kate, quaking with laughter.)

  24. *Craigslist, San Francisco*
    For Sale:
    8 light brown “Teddy Bear” hamsters,
    These are fully trained hunter/gatherer type “Peruvian Tans” of the type not often found for sale here in the USA/EE.UU.
    4 Males, 4 Females, they are proven breeders, $40 each. firm.
    *sorry, no cages for these gems, our local hamstery is moving to the new Syrian dwarfs newly introduced to California, these are for sale this week only, as I’ll be SETTING THEM FREE in the bay area on saturday morning because I’ve run out of room…
    phone 888.555.1212

  26. The fault is not reliable. I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.
    Speedy – wise words. Wise, baffling words.

  28. Ironically, I suppose this is the work of animal rights activists who would rather have a law that denies animal rights in SF.

  30. The over reach of duty scope at every level of government is proof positive that we are over taxed. Want to gain you freedom, starve the government of your money.
    Do you think that voting and public service union membership is a conflict of interest? I do and think public service unions should be outlawed.

  32. BTW, did y’all know that they’re thinking of renaming it the Everything is George Bush’s Fault?

    ============================
    In BC we have housing prices at least as high as that, and the NDP is in Opposition. Right wing Liberals, with many Conservatives on board, have been ruling BC with an iron fist for nine years.

  38. Brian M., one word: Obamacare. Rationing, aka “Death panels”, coming to a bunch of drug raddled, HIV/STD infested, hippie train wrecks near you, real soon.
    After all, radical socialism -is- the home of the “useless eaters” meme.

  39. The airheads are busily rearranging the deck chairs on the good ship “California” that is taking on water rapidly and will soon disappear beneath the economic waves. It keeps their mind of their impending doom.
    What incredible idiots.

  40. Black Mamba change her name to Ripley?
    Believe it or not?

  41. I was told once that California is actually two states: La-La Land to the south, where it’s sunny all the time, and people want to live in a desert but have lush green lawns, golf courses, and a massive agricultural industry, and then wonder why they’re running out of water, and to the north, the PRK – People’s Republic of Kalifornia.
    Sounds more correct all the time.

  43. “In BC we have housing prices at least as high as that, and the NDP is in Opposition. Right wing Liberals, with many Conservatives on board, have been ruling BC with an iron fist for nine years.”
    David: I highly doubt the conservatives involved with the BC Liberals have any say on what goes down in that corrupt group of people. If they have a say, they are not conservative. The closest thing to conservative they have put in place was a small income tax shift to more user fees (I don’t have a problem with that) and the shift to a more business friendly HST. However, they have not dropped the tax rate at the same time which is what would have actually made a difference.
    They are called the BC Liberals for a reason. They aren’t conservative. They, however, are still better than the NDP.

  44. After a little thought,and some Southern Comfort,I believe I have got this ridiculous idea figured out. The intent of this ordinance is not to rid the city of all pet sales ,but to stop the sale of real dogs in the area.It is actually a good idea . As with most bills there is compromise and deals made before a final version is passed.

    The San Fran area has a very large gay population. The couples who do not want or are unable to qualify for adoption invariably buy a pet and make it their son or daughter. ” This here is our little fellow,Bruno,he’s our son”. “Bruno” may be a large rottie,or perhaps a shepherd. One thing that you can be sure of though, is that “Bruno” is embarrassed,and I would be embarrassed for him also. I’d bet that there are more owners bitten by dogs in SF than anywhere else in the US.

    This bill may be a very smart way to save dogs,real dogs not the teacup variety,the anguish of wearing designer clothes,and being taken for a ‘prance’ by ‘parents’ who also sniff each other.

  46. Some cities will stop at nothing to get their bestiality stats down.

  48. IN the end the left wants no gods before them. Even a pet.
    Its why progressivism is not a political alternative. Its a religious movement. If you doubt it watch, the hate & denunciations from these whack a moles. Particularly against Christians.
    Who I may add started animal shelters to begin with in the 19th century. By the way who else hates dogs, cats, & other sundry animals except Goats?
    JMO

  49. Revnant Dream True, that whole free will thingie competes with the intent progressives have. It lets you opt out.
