After a chuckle, Romney jovially explains how Seamus jumped up there on his own and how much he loved being on the roof of the car. He also assures Wallace that the kennel was airtight and safe, but admits that he had no idea that he was breaking the law. 
On this morning’s “Fox News Sunday”, host Chris Wallace interviewed GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney and actually hammered him about putting his dog, Seamus, in a kennel on the roof of his car on a long family vacation. Wallace, who says he’s a dog lover, points out that Massachusetts law prohibits endangering animals in this way and asks, “what were you thinking?”

What a jackass. Seamus is just a prop - and if the kennel is truly "airtight," he will soon be a dead prop.
How much different would it be riding on top, with a wind deflector than riding in the back of a pickup where they generally hang their heads off to the side? I don't like Romney, but I don't see it as any different than these yahoos who have to have their dogs ride around in the back of their pickups. Matter of fact, I would suggest the back of the pickup is a lot more dangerous. I had one in front of me pulling up to a stop sign, preparing to turn right, and damned if his dog didn't come out ofo the back of the truck and was suspended by a chain leash--his lower legs in the back kept getting hit by the tires. I was laying on my horn to get that asshole's attention. He did stop. My vet told me he averaged 72 leg surgeries a year from dogs coming out of the back of pickups. He was on a one man campaign around here for years trying to get people to not do it. I'd never let my Border Collie ride in the back--she was way too valuable as a trained working dog as to take a chance.

It's all Mormon bullshit. Any decent person would have the dog in the cab, where they're supposed to be. (Apologies up, but I'm tired, and I'm pissed.)
Maybe 30 days in the pokey would get thet attention of these yahoos...I see that sh*t in Tennessee ALL the time.
