City Council Mandates Puppies Every 15 Feet at Public Park

A new city ordinance, passed via a 5-4 vote at last night’s city council meeting, mandates that all public parks will have puppies every 15 feet.  "We really feel that this is going to makes our outdoor spaces more vibrant and enjoyable for visitors,“ said city comptroller Louis Becker, who introduced the measure.

Not everyone is convinced, though.  City councilwoman Alexandra Schiff voted against the puppy ordinance.  "I really don’t think this is a wise use of our city’s cash reserves,” said Schiff.  "I like puppies as much as the next person, but we have fire hydrants that need servicing, roads that need repair, a centennial celebration to plan… but we’re spending our money on dogs?  I just don’t get it.“

Proponents of the measure point out that Schiff might be sore that her "Cats on Main Street” measure, which sought to install hanging baskets containing kittens all along main street, failed at a council meeting last month.

Ferrets Have Trouble Finding Jeans that Fit, Too

Ferrets Have Trouble Finding Jeans that Fit, Too

We’ve heard numerous reports that cats have a terrible time finding good-fitting jeans. But according to a new study from the Animal Tailors Federation, it is actually ferrets that currently rank highest in dissatisfaction among animals when it comes to finding properly fitting pants.  

“Their long, slender bodies are just really hard to design for,” said seamstress Alison Perkins, whose clothing alteration business in Brooklyn, NY has seen its ferret clientele triple over the past year.  "Custom tailored is really the only way to go.  Unfortunately, that’s cost prohibitive for most ferrets, so they end up buying brand name and coming to someone like me for alterations.“

SHOCKING: Carrot Massacre Photo Released

Police have released a grisly photo from Monday’s Carrot Massacre, in which a local bunny rabbit brutally ate a dozen innocent carrots.  The picture shows the bunny, Hopalong Steve, shortly after being taken into custody and loaded onto a paddy wagon.  The chilling photo depicts a grinning Steve, still covered in carrot juice.  

Steve is being held at the county jail pending a bail hearing next week.
