Save the monkeys from ripping people's faces off, huh?

So a pet monkey gone wild mauls a human. And what does our elected representatives do? They put a bill together, with a shove from the Animal Rights lobby, called the "Captive Primate Safety Act" that protects primates. Only through the rose colored glasses of Government logic does it make sense to protect the threat and not the threatened. This bill is not intended to protect humans but appease the Animal Rights folks who despise pet ownership and see it as abuse. We've seen a flavor of this mentality recently with the Obama Administration's desire to give terrorists at Gitmo civil rights. It's insanity. What is also familiar is how the Government uses a tragedy or crisis to push through their leftist agenda that appears to address the issue that caused the tragedy or crisis but is actually advancing their leftist agenda.

Pay Attention.
