Iggy bought a purebred kitten, Obama gets a purebred puppy, the vice-president bought a purebred German Shepherd pup.

What else don't these people understand about altruism? They all made self-centered decisions which entrench the cruelty of breed sell and dump at pounds. Chances in a lifetime to send a loud message to Americans and Canadians about all the killing of dogs in pounds and that they won't support the breeding of more, have been selfishly ignored.

In contrast,the Harpers actually foster cats for the Toronto Humane Society. I trust the Harpers, not any politician who doesn't give a damn about animal suffering as long as they get what they want.
