I wonder where Outlawed went?
I'm sure he will be back but not for a butt **** as Bad would have people believe.
Every state has laws against cruelty towards animals. I believe she was simply explaining that they might differ slightly from state to state.
I know it may seem odd, but the states were supposed to govern themselves while the federal government was mainly for military matters and constituational decisions. The great depression of the 1930's changed that when the feds began to govern more out of necessity. And once that happened the feds have taken more and more control. In some instances its a good thing, in some bad.
What can you do? Things change.
