Great Big Wet Thing Decides:
When humans attack!
The Issue
After several reports of pet humans violently attacking, injuring, and even killing citizens, there has been growing pressure from public safety activists for the government to take action.
The Debate
1. "These creatures are a danger to the public and must be destroyed!" says Fleur Wall, representative of the Public Institution for Social Safety, Equality, and Direction. "I was attacked by one just on the way here and I nearly lost my life! They're a public menace. We must shoot and burn them!"
2. "Why punish the poor things?" asks animal-lover Falala Steele, covered in scars from previous encounters with humans. "All they need is good hands to care and rehabilitate them. We need a government education programme to tame them and turn them into loveable pets. The one I'm holding right now shows that it can be done. They are all good, kind creatures deep d- argh!"
3. "I agree that we shouldn't kill them," says Faith Wu, a famous lawyer. "But I don't think the owner should get away with breaking the law! This is clearly a case of 'intent to greviously harm' if I ever saw it. All citizens should be held accountable of their pet's actions as if they had done the act themselves. It's the only way to be fair - after all, they're just dumb animals."
4. "Who cares!?" screams Billy-Bob Jong-Il as he sends out his pirate radio station broadcast. "Just repeal any laws preventing us from shooting the things when they attack and we'll be able to save ourselves without this stupid, authoritarian, overbearing government and legal system wasting our tax money!"
This was probably the funiest thing i've seen in a while
