Time Text
Uh hi, uh folks, the views expressed by the host on this program make more sense than anything anybody else out there happens to be saying.
You can count on it, you can bet on it, you can bank on it.
That's because the views expressed by the host of this program uh are the result of a relentless and unstoppable pursuit of the truth.
I have more fun than a human being should be allowed to have here every day.
Uh welcome to those of you watching on the ditto cam as well.
Telephone numbers 800-282-2882 and the email address rush at eIBNet.com.
Lots of anger and raw emotion out there.
Uh understandably so over this uh outrageous Supreme Court decision today.
It was a 5-3 decision.
Uh, Justice Kennedy joining the activist liberal side here.
You can see the happening here.
He could be hailed as the next Justice O'Connor uh going this way.
I've done some uh research.
I have some legal beagles that I consulted during the break.
And this this uh uh aspect of the ruling that claims these clowns have uh protection under the Geneva Convention is just wrong.
They just don't.
Now it's not surprising that a bunch of Nambi pamby, hand-wringing victim-oriented liberals, whether they wear black robes or not, would look at these poor slobs as a bunch of victims and say, didn't even convict it, didn't even convict.
Because you have to understand now what the underlying concept is America's evil, America's bad, America wages war in front of America is the world superpower.
We're running around roughshot all over these poor people.
We have no choice in that we capture it, we put them in prison.
It's horrible.
Bunch of guilt-laden, self-loathing American-hating activists, and some of them are on the Supreme Court.
There is no applicability here to the Geneva Convention, pure and simple.
That's that's still but you know, who's who's where where do you go to challenge the constitutionality of a Supreme Court ruling?
Well, you go back to Congress.
And that is uh what apparently is on the drawing board.
Now, what does all of this mean for Club Gitmo itself and and um most importantly, my thriving Club Gitmo merchandise business.
Well, I had to find out about this, it has a libs on TV and the lawyers on TV panting over the fact that Club Gitmo may be shut down because of this.
No.
U.S. Supreme Court ruling on war crimes tribunals being held at Guantanamo Navy Base Club Gitmo will have a little effect on the detention camp that holds 450 foreign captives, according to the camp commander.
Um I don't think there's any direct outcome on our detention operation, said uh Rear Admiral Harry Harris, the prison commander in an interview this week before the ruling.
Uh Harris said he'd build a second courtroom if the tribunals are allowed to proceed, but little else would change because the court was not asked to rule on Gitmo itself.
Uh, comma from Al Reuters here, a prison camp that human rights groups in the United Nations and foreign governments have sharply criticized.
You know, at some point, don't you don't you just want to shout, screw you, humans right, human rights activists.
And you in.
And uh and all the rest of it.
Um at any rate, the director of interrogations at uh Club Gitmo said many of the others there could be held a very long time because U.S. officials will not release those whom they are convinced have the connections, training, and means to carry out terrorist attacks.
Nobody wants to be the first person to allow the next 9-11 to happen, said the chief of interrogations, Paul Rester, emptying this place is not my goal.
Thank goodness we've got some reasonable people running the joint uh down there at Club Gitman.
I have to I have to say, uh ladies and I'm a little surprised that some of you checking my email during the top of the hour break.
There is a fascination that uh borders on the uh on the macabre uh over Fateh Mohammed, the Pakistan inmate, prison inmate, who says he woke up last weekend with a glass light bulb uh in his uh anus.
Uh many, many, I mean i almost incalculable number of emails without uh people wanting to know various aspects, like, well, if you want he doesn't know how the light bulb got there, what where where were the fingerprints?
Folks, I don't know any more than what the story says.
I mean, I and I, you know, I'm not gonna sit here and speculate.
Uh some people obviously rush trying to find the hamster.
Uh uh.
My all I know is that Mohammed, who is serving a four-year sentence for making liquor, which is prohibited for a Muslims, said he was shocked uh when he uh was first told the cause of his discovery.
He just thought he had an intestinal problem, and they said, No, you got a light bulb in your ass.
Really?
A light bulb.
He had no clue how it got there.
So when he when he when he woke up, uh felt pain in my lower abdomen later in the hospital, they told me this.
I don't know who did this to me, police or other prisoners.
That's all I know, folks.
Can't help you be.
Can't help you beyond this.
Uh let's see.
And I am I am I wrong?
Am I memory failing me?
Were were there not a couple of resolutions in the Senate on uh an immediate withdrawal of troops from Iraq?
One was uh Carrie and who carry and fine gold, and there was another one uh Carl Levin and somebody had one, uh there were different resolutions.
Carrie wanted them out immediately, the others had a different, but they had a date certain timetable.
And didn't they didn't they both go down to stinging defeat?
I mean, didn't didn't Carrie's resolution get like thirteen votes?
Help me out, Mrs. Snorley, is that true?
That seems to be my memory.
Okay, it's true.
Well, then uh I don't get it.
What what is dingy Harry doing all over the television for what appears to be the gazillion time demanding a withdrawal timetable?
I mean, do these guys not understand democracy?
We had a debate in the Senate.
In fact, we had two.
Carrie's Carrie's resolution was first presented by Mitch McConnell, but it got six votes.
We've had two debates in the Senate.
We've had two votes in the Senate.
Uh actually three.
Now that I stop and think about it, we have had three debates in the Senate and three votes.
We had the pre-Kerry plan, we had the carry-carry plan, and the post-carry carry plan.
And it wasn't even close.
In all three instances, the notion of a date certain timetable to get out of Iraq, failed miserably.
W when does a high-ranking senator, the leader of the minority in the Senate, uh say we've debated it and we've voted and and uh it's over.
What uh on on what basis is he running around saying we need a president is not with the not giving us a specific uh timetable for getting out?
What of course because you lost it.
What did I don't understand?
Well, I mean, I understand it, but I'm trying to make a point here.
They've lost three debates in his own Senate, and he's running around demanding a withdrawal timetable.
As though they had won the thing.
Now, uh another question, it might seem a little bit irrelevant.
Uh but I mean, I guess that's that's my point.
Um, other than the drive-by media, who really cares what the hell Nancy Pelosi thinks about the war or what Harry Reed thinks about the war?
Rush, how could you?
They are official members of Congress.
They have been duly elected.
I know, but who cares?
Their signs losing.
What does it matter what they think?
What what is what did Charles Halleck think about Vietnam?
Was Charles Halleck on television every day talking of Oh, you don't know who Charles Halleck is?
All right, okay.
Uh what did what did Bob Michael think about Desert Storm?
Did anybody remember Bob Michael on television 14 times a day telling us what he thought about Desert Storm?
No, he wasn't.
He was the minority leader in the House in 1991.
Uh and and and Charles Halleck was a minority leader.
How come these two minority leaders are the only ones that are on television demanding a timetable That they have offered up for resolution and it's been defeated.
Nancy Pelosi, the minority leader in the house, and she should get as much FaceTime as Charles Halleck or Bob Michael.
They didn't get any FaceTime.
Nobody gave a whit what they thought.
I don't think Michael even cared what he thought.
The bottom line is it's just it.
The drive-by media looks at the Democrats, they still run the show.
They offer up the resolution to get out, date certain timetable, goes down a stinging defeat, and there's Dingy Harry out there still demanding a date certain timetable.
Now, you know, it's it's kind of it's kind of comical, and I actually not that opposed to it.
I just think it's it's a phenomenon to watch the drive-by media build these guys up as though they're running the show, which they're not, but they're being portrayed as the people running the show and making absolute fools of themselves day in and day out, which ultimately is uh is helpful.
All right, quick time out, back with a lot more.
Stay with us.
All right, we found uh ladies and continuing show prep here uh in the midst of performing the uh program.
We found uh photo of uh the doctor that removed the light bulb from the anus of uh Fate Mohammed.
We got a picture here of the X-ray of the light bulb uh intact before the surgical procedure to remove it.
And uh I have uh I have instructed Coco the website to publish this picture.
He had just sent it up to him, and uh he hasn't acknowledged receiving it yet, but it'll be at Rush Limbaugh.com.
Um I'll I'll give you the all-clear sign when uh when Coco gets that posted.
Here is here's Rick in uh Great Court, South Carolina.
You're next on the EIB network.
Hi.
Hey Megadiddos, Russia.
How are you doing?
It's an honor to talk to you.
I have two points.
The the first one is if these guys are to be treated by the Geneva Conventions, then why don't we just shoot them as spies?
They're out of uniform.
Can't Bush come on the network news tonight and say, listen, we're gonna make this uniform available to you.
Go pick it up at Walmart.
If you don't like it, tell us what you're gonna wear as a uniform.
But we can't you can't shoot them when they're in captivity, whether the Geneva Convention applies or not.
You might be able to shoot them out there on the so-called battlefield, but that'd be tough to find one of those where where I mean nothing's conventional in this, but I I think I understand the raw emotion that you uh that you feel.
It's this court, this this decision is just infuriated uh most reasonable people.
The the the difference is these people are worth something with the information they possess.
This is precisely why they've been captured, is to is to break them down eventually using friendly uh and sensitive techniques, of course, uh, to get them to tell us what they know about future attacks, cells, and and all kinds of data.
So we don't we don't really want to shoot them, that's the whole point.
I wouldn't have a problem shooting them.
Yeah, well, maybe after we get what we want from them.
Uh listen, I got a way to get what we want from them.
Uh I'll bet you do.
And let's hear it.
Let's go for let's go for broke here today.
What do you what what's your method?
Well, I think that you know, the problem with terrorists is there's no deterrent.
There's just no deterrent nobody wants to do.
Why not when we catch these guys, find out they're a terrorist, why don't we give them a sex change?
They think they're going to heaven for 72 virgins.
Let's send them as one of the virgins.
Right?
They hate women with a passion.
You sound like a New Yorker.
I love you.
Right.
They hate women with a passion.
You start giving them the hormones, the beard, the mustache, is gone.
And as far as tortured them, you don't have to do it.
As soon as they put the training bra on, I guarantee they're gonna start talking.
Let me let me especially, you know, speaking of that, I don't know why you brought this up, and I don't, but I I remembered that it's totally unrelated.
Well, uh as though you mentioned it, it won't be unrelated.
I actually was sent a story yesterday by a friend who it was it was a it was a serious story written by a woman for some woman's publication about how ninety-nine percent of the women out there today are wearing bras that are not properly fit.
They're wearing the wrong size, but they're they're out there miserable, they're not comfortable, they never get they never get themselves fitted properly.
I can't believe that somebody would send me this expecting me to actually talk about this, and here you come, reminding me of this and mentioning it out there.
So I'm just thinking if we if if we do your technique, a sex change, and then the training bra, screw that, give them a bra that's too tight of the wrong size.
Well, you know, the other thing too is you know, these guys, you put people in jail so they can think about what they did wrong while you're punishing them.
Well, let's cut something off, and then we'll they could think about it real hard.
Well, now let's let's let's there are there are children listening to this program, uh Rick.
It's summertime, as you know, they're out of a school's lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer.
So does popcorn beer.
Uh not of course for the kids.
Uh they were using marijuana, the beer is for the parents.
Uh but nevertheless, have you the sex change operation would be what?
Uh would that can you imagine this?
Let's just play this out just for the fun of it.
Let's say this becomes an active policy sex change operation uh for all these guys.
Can you imagine somebody coming up and calling that torture?
Uh uh because it happens in America, it's it is you know becoming a fad out there, sex change operations.
The atactomy procedure is the number one procedure in this way, going from uh female to male, popularized in San Francisco.
Uh the the the what is the other chopped addictomy uh is is uh the other way and but but the transgender crowd thinks this is all great stuff.
So if we do this, somebody comes up and calls it torture, the transgender crowd's gonna have to object to it.
No, it's it's not torture.
Oh, we could screw all kinds of people up in so many fun ways.
Benjamin in Las Vegas, you're next on the EIB network high.
Oh Rush, thanks for taking my call.
Any time with you.
Um I just wanted to say that there's so much talk, especially with this case about the Geneva Convention.
Yeah, well they don't it doesn't apply to them.
Yeah, well, that's exactly what I want to say.
If if they don't follow the convention, why should it apply to them?
Well, because we have four liberal well, four liberals and an activist judge on the U.S. Supreme Court which said so.
Uh I mean, exactly.
These people want to treat them like American citizens.
I think we should treat 'em like terrorists, because that's what they are.
Uh well terrorists, I mean Americans wouldn't wouldn't be subjected to the Geneva Convention by Americans.
I say I know what you're talking about.
We're not apparently uh uh the idea of treating them as enemy combatants is not even permitted here.
I mean that's that's the auspices under which a military tribunal would uh would take place.
I uh somebody sent me a note, and I'm not sure if this is true, saying that the Nuremberg trials were essentially military tribunals.
And I don't know if that's true.
I know it was international.
Uh but I don't know that it was actually military uh tribunal, but there's there's uh a lot of emotion flying around out there.
A motion that I, by the way, totally uh understand.
El Paso, Texas, and David, a former black ops uh specialist here.
Great to have you on the program.
David.
Am I on Rush?
You're on, it's your big showbiz break.
Uh give me a very uh twenty year submarines, black ops rush.
I guess uh when we got Chicago, I guess we committed murder because we didn't knock on his door and issue him a warrant.
Uh depending on if you know if the right people in this country have gotten hold of the case, you you you may not be joking.
Uh these gentlemen now that are risking their lives in black ops, uh we're not uh lawyers, and I'm not gonna carry subpoena, and I'm not gonna issue a warrant.
And there's no reason for me to take these uh gentlemen back with them, gentlemen, these uh terrorists back with me.
Yeah, that's it.
These guys are all captured uh uh they didn't just show up at Club Gitmo and give the credit card.
Uh they just they were captured and brought here.
Uh I am not gonna put my men at risk to drag somebody back.
If I don't have room back in my boat to bring them back in my bo uh submarine, I'm not bringing them back now.
Uh he's staying on the battlefield.
Why there's no reason for me to bring back a terrorist so we can stand trial.
Interesting.
You expect this to be an attitude that uh permeates many of your fellow uh colleagues?
Exactly.
So you're gonna say, what's the point if I'm gonna risk my life capturing these snobs, and I bring them back and I get them in a in a sanctioned prison, and all of a sudden, wait a minute, we can't treat them as prisoners, we can't treat them as this, we gotta treat them as American citizens and give them civil trials.
What's the point?
Uh I just saw two of my soldier marines mutilated, uh beheaded and uh booby trapped.
Uh and they are telling me that I have to issue a warrant and knock on the door and say, please put your hands uh uh above your head?
I don't think so.
And this is coming from a twenty-year submariner, uh Russia.
Well, what are your options then?
Let I mean l let's say you're out there and this this case is what it is.
What what are your options?
You just gonna uh you you're not even gonna pursue them or are you gonna pursue them and find them and take other measures?
My option was to bring back my men Alive, get the information, and if I have somebody in my uh captivity to bring them back only, only and it's always left up to me.
Well, do you do you do you try to interrogate them before you eliminate them in the circumstance?
Learn something from them.
I'll give them five minutes now.
And the and they'll know it.
Uh yes, sir.
Uh yeah, okay.
Well, uh David, I I I appreciate the phone call.
Once again, uh a great illustration of uh the military effort being literally handcuffed here uh by a bunch of liberals wearing robes, no different than you and me uh on the Supreme Court.
Be back after this.
Right in there, Mama.
Moving closer I I have some we have some um what's that?
Oh, I know I know, I know.
They uh snurly telling me screening calls today that uh all of you calling in are fuming and and hot and uh and and one event.
Uh let me let me pose something else here and make it make you even hotter.
How long do you think it will be before a Democrat somewhere starts talking about impeachment of Bush for overstepping his authority with these prisoners?
You wait, folks.
Eh they're gonna do it, and the Democrats uh they're painting a bullseye on themselves.
They uh they they really are.
Try this.
I heard this yesterday.
I was driving home in my new car.
Eleven Sunni insurgent groups have offered an immediate halt to uh all attacks, including those in American troops, if the United States agrees to withdraw foreign forces from Iraq in two years.
Uh withdrawal is the centerpiece of a set of demands from the groups which operate north of Baghdad in the heavily Sunni provinces.
Although much of the fighting has been to the West, these provinces are increasingly violent.
Attacks there have crippled oil and commerce uh routes.
The groups who have made contact have largely shunned attacks on Iraqi civilians, focusing instead on U.S. led coalition forces.
Their offer coincides with the Prime Minister's decision to reach out to the Sunni insurgency with a reconciliation plan that includes an amnesty for uh fighters.
All right.
We gotta get to this, by the way.
We gotta get this Barack Obama religion business.
That that that w that that we're gonna get to that today, folks.
I'm just probably promising a lot to say about that.
Uh if this is not a Democrat talking point, I don't know what the hell is.
Eleven Sunni insurgent groups have offered an immediate halt to all attacks if we'll announce to get out in two years.
I hope it hasn't happened yet.
But I'm hoping it's somebody like Jean Francois Cavie, who uh served in Vietnam, will stand up.
The donkey face that he is will stand up.
I told you that it would work.
I knew the enemy.
I've been there, and I've been fired at, and I've fired at them, and I can trust them.
I talked to the North Vietnamese in Paris during the war.
I have been there.
And I can tell you that this is our ticket out.
Oh, I'm gonna pray for this.
I literally am going to pray for it.
Richard in Washington, D.C., welcome to the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Uh Megaditoes, Rush, long time listener, first time caller.
Thank you.
Um I have another swing on this.
Um, this court uh decision may be a good thing.
Uh we should be able to probably expect our Marines to be released from uh captivity here pretty quick, since they have the Supreme Court has determined that combatants don't have to be wearing uniforms.
Who's to say the people they shot?
What combatants?
Hmm.
You're talking about Haditha.
I am, sir.
Yeah.
So uh uh let's see if I understand this.
The Supreme Court said that Geneva Convention had rules apply to these clowns at Club Gitmo, and therefore they don't have uniforms.
So the Marines at Hadith uh can't be held liable for going after people not in uniform.
Is that what you're saying?
Because as far as they're concerned, and and backed up by the Supreme Court decision, um, they could be combatants, couldn't they?
They could be.
So I I guess we'll expect our Marines to be released from Pendleton um what by noon tomorrow?
Great point.
You know, you're uh of you people today.
You are revved up.
You are fired up.
Normally many of you are passive out there.
I gotta light the fire, but you're you're uh you are you are all on fire today.
Adams, Wisconsin, and Doug, thanks for calling and waiting.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Uh light bulb denos to you, Rush.
Thank you.
Uh my concern is about uh all of the military and their morale.
They catch these clowns.
They risk their life, these uh Turkey terrorists, and then they come back here and they're ever more untouchable.
Let me ask you a qu let me ask you a question out there, Doug.
Do you think that liberals in this country, even the four that wear robes in the Supreme Court give a wit about the U.S. military?
Uh Vietnam proved that.
You know, our uh I was in Vietnam uh two times.
Uh the morale didn't break from within.
The morale was hurt from exterior forces, things happening back home.
Yeah.
I know.
That was the objective.
Yep.
And uh same game plan, like you saying, like you've taught us, Robbie.
It is it is gonna hurt the military.
It's just gonna make it tougher for everybody with their lives on the line to do their jobs.
As uh, well, the the black ops guy, the submariner.
Uh submariner, for those of you in uh real to the submariner, I know they think is a watch.
this is going to make it harder on everybody to do what they do.
They'll be looking over their shoulder.
What will the Supreme Court say of this?
Yeah.
Mark in Lancaster, Ohio.
Thank you, sir.
Welcome to the program.
Hello, Rush.
Great to talk to you.
Thank you.
This is a uh great decision by the Supreme Court if what they wanted to do was galvanize a conservative base that is still fuming over the decisions they've made regarding private property.
And you want to wake people up, this is a great way to do it.
Uh people who may never pay attention uh will wake up and see this, and you have to choose a side.
You just can't sit in the middle and say, well, it's okay.
I don't care, it doesn't affect me, because it does.
I was thinking the same thing.
Uh when I when I got the uh uh sense when I picked up on the outrage that all of you out there feel about this.
This is galvanizing people.
This is uh uh lighting a fire on them.
This is gonna this is a vote turnout uh decision, and uh it it also it helps educate and throw light uh on the uh circumstance involved with trying to reform the judiciary, too.
So that's gonna say there's there's good in uh in everything that happens if you want to take the time to uh to find it.
Thanks very much, Mark.
Uh where are we going next, snurdly?
You're you'll you tell me where yeah, okay, Oklahoma City.
Brian, you're next.
Great to have you on the program.
Rush.
Megadetto's longtime listener.
Caught you at uh Amaro on your Rush to Excellence tour.
Thank you, sir.
And uh also want to thank you very much for being your work with lymphoma and leukemia.
I'm a survivor of both, by the grace of God.
Uh I did want to put the fact that how are the American Supreme Court putting trying to apply constitutionality for non-American uh detainees and combatants.
First of all, it can't apply because they're not a citizen.
Would this gonna be true?
Uh yeah, but the of course they're not a citizen, and they're not that they don't apply, they don't they don't qualify under the Geneva Convention anyway, either.
But none of that matters.
They've just been given constitutional rights by virtue of the Supreme Court decision.
Now let's remember.
Let's cut the court a little slack.
The court did leave open a pathway where they could be satisfied with military tribunals, and that's if the Congress signs on as well, giving the president the authority.
All of this is outrageous.
He doesn't need any additional authority.
He's the commander in chief.
And the Supreme Court's trying to usurp some of it, and the Congress obviously will usurp as much of it as they can all the time.
That's the nature of the system.
Uh, but you're right, essentially granting them not just protections under the Geneva Convention, but uh essentially suggesting that they now be tried in U.S. civil court, they may as well be given the rights of citizens, and they are neither.
They are terrorists, and it just you know you can see it in the news coverage today.
George Bush's war on terrorism is a common phrase in much of the news coverage today on the wire services.
All Reuters and all AP.
George Bush's war on terrorism suffered a major setback today when George Bush fighting his war on terrorism overstepped his authority, blah, blah, blah.
So they I mean, the people reporting on this don't even really consider this to be legitimate.
Bush is just a cowboy out there waging his own war, uh, and he's violating civil rights and human rights and every other kind of right there is in the process of doing so.
And they honestly believe it.
I don't I don't think they think this is a country at great danger, great risk in a dangerous world.
I don't think they think that at all.
I think that they're so focused narrowly and so short-sighted.
I actually think that they think 9-11, eh, it's just, yeah, one of those indiscriminate things.
It happened.
There's no war out there.
In fact, a number of elected Democrats have said we're not at war.
It is silly to call this a war.
We shouldn't have made it a war.
Bush started a war, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And so the Supreme Court justices uh the on the majority side today obviously conclude uh maybe not specifically that, but the decision uh makes you wonder how would they have decided differently if they did think that uh this whole thing is illegitimate, nothing more than some little localized domestic dispute.
Brief uh brief timeout here, folks, as the EIB network uh goes to an obscene profit timeout.
And we'll continue.
Won't be long.
Time flies on this program, and we will be right back.
Hi, we are back, El Rushball, America's real anchor man.
Executing assigned host duties flawlessly.
Zero mistakes.
Excellent role model for the youths of America.
800-282-2882.
Well, we've had the light bulb uh in the bodily orifice story.
Now, this is this is this one I gotta break it up here a little bit, folks.
Get back to your phone calls here in just a second.
This story from Petaluma, California.
Rat lovers were furious yesterday at a Petaluma animal shelter when they found out that the shelter had euthanized more than 1,000 rats taken last week from a man who had been hoarding them inside his home.
Roger Dyer, 67, was cited for misdemeanor animal cruelty last week after animal control officers found hordes of squealing rats inside his dingy one-bedroom house in Petaluma.
It is not close to uh Rio Linda.
Nancy Tavaris, the city's animal services manager, had promised to find homes for as many rats as possible, but admitted Wednesday that some 1,020 rats had to be put down.
Yeah, we euthanized all the adult rats except the ones we have to keep on quarantine because they're a bit stiff.
They weren't social.
I call them fearal.
We found many with eyeballs missing, teeth growing into the opposite jaw, huge abscesses, open wounds, some of them were starving.
It was not a pretty sight.
Rat fanciers.
I I don't believe it.
I am reading this.
Rat fanciers, rat lovers of the first two words of this story.
Rat fanciers who uh who had formed an email chain called Petaluma Rats in an attempt to find homes for the rodents were horrified.
The shelter was bombarded Wednesday with angry phone calls and emails.
Most members of the rat lobby felt they had been misled.
The rat lobby.
This is an unspeakable injustice to those rats who deserve better, said Phyllis Mason, a self-described rat lover in an email.
Why why didn't the Petaluma Animal Shelter give us a chance to help?
I I can't imagine that all of those rats were sick.
Seems to me that they felt overwhelmed.
They just didn't want to bother with them.
Tina Byrd of Campbell, California, said the rat community was in the I'm not making this up.
The rat community was in the process of mobilizing when the rodents were killed.
Uh now, Tavaris of the animal control place said we're not going to give these rats to another home as just as bad as this guy's dingy bedroom was.
Our philosophy is uh not that any life is preferable to death.
Quality of life counts even for rats.
The rat fanciers are not being rational.
Everybody's saying you can't euthanize them, and they they all say they want to hell, but very few can take any.
We're not enjoying this, but frankly, there aren't enough homes for these rats.
Yeah, I can imagine that.
Can you imagine your local animal shelter with pictures of Puffy the cat and spot the dog?
By the way, we've got a thousand rats down here looking for homes.
How many takers do you think there would be?
