Animal-rights activist, Karen Dawn, has brought out a book slamming the "impulse" purchasing of animals, favoured by the likes of Britney Spears and Paris Hilton. In the book, Dawn rampages: "We've already seen Paris go through dogs faster than mojitos, and I bet nobody warned Britney that California might soon force drivers to keep dogs safely restrained in vehicles - like babies… An impulse purchase of a companion for the next 15 years? Nobody expects them to have the dogs much longer than 15 months." Oh, get her, *paws air in cat-like fashion*. Seriously though, she has a point. According to The Post, "Hilton's menagerie has included a Rottweiler named Tyson, Chihuahuas Tinkerbell and Bambi, Rascal the ferret and a kinkajou, Baby Luv. Spears has had three Chihuahuas, a Yorkie named London and a parakeet." If you'd like to read more about celebrities' fondness of abusing animals, the book's title is an easy one to remember - 'Thanking the Monkey: Rethinking the Way We Treat Animals.' So wrong... in so many ways...
