California animal a bozos anger Kansas state official Topeka Kan. Apr critics of a new Law designed to protect Kansas laboratories that use animals for testing Are a bozos from California a the states attorney general says. A any self respecting Kansan would Tell them to go to hell a said attorney general Bob Stephan. The legislation makes it a crime to photograph or destroy property at an animal research Laboratory testing or Breeding grounds. The Law was crafted to keep animal rights activists from entering a research lab and photographing animals for their campaigns against animal testing officials say. Much of the criticism led by a California assemblyman has entered on allegations that Kansas protects a Puppy Mills a substandard Breeding operations that ship sick animals out of state. Stephan said the measure which was signed into Law last month does not apply to commercial dog kennels. A a it a very easy to say Kansas has a problem because we re dealing with those problems up front a Stephan told reporters wednesday. A meanwhile California does nothing. Frankly i think its very Clear. If those folks in California who Are complaining could read they could read the a truck carrying 5,000 pounds of dog biscuits set out from Sonora calif., for Topeka on tuesday to protest the legislation. Organizers in California would not disclose when it would arrive. The protesters originally planned to Send 9,000 pounds of dog Bones but worried they would be turned Back As a health Hazard. A Why we react this Way when some bozos from California decide at first to Send some Bones to our state then some dog biscuits a Stephan asked. Gov. Mike Hayden said he would donate the biscuits to the humane society. The two Kansas officials say the states animal inspection Laws Are stronger than those in California. They also say California officials cannot cite a single complaint involving dogs bred in Kansas. California state assemblyman Sam Farr has led the protest introducing legislation that would require California pet stores to Post where dogs were bred and that would make it illegal for the pet stores to knowingly sell a sick dog. A a we re very disappointed that the governor and the attorney general had to resort to name calling to avoid the fact that Kansas has a lot of Puppy Mills that Send a lot of sick puppies to California a said Farris aide Darryl Young. A a there a a real problem in Kansas a Young said. A the governor and attorney general Are heavily into denial and not the the protesters want a repeal of the Kansas flaming Tanker Burger a texans take their hamburgers anyway they can get them. At least that a the Case in Galveston where the norwegian Oil Tanker that burned in the Gulf of Mexico inspired the creation of a the flaming the Char broiled Burger features melted cheese and hot Salsa.
