Well, we do that, too. On purpose. Federal agents are out there killing dogs, more than one a day. They shot 157 dogs to death. And it’s not just in the yahoo states out west, either.

So, she lives at the Audubon Center in glass house. They let her out before people arrive. When visitors come by her room, she bobs up and down with excitedment.
