A HOWLER IN ISRAEL
Claws were out on Monday after an Israeli cabinet minister proposed sending stray dogs and cats to another country as an alternative to government-funded efforts to sterilize them.
The proposal, which a spokesman for Ariel said had been rejected after initial consultations within the Agriculture Ministry, was roundly criticized by animal rights activists and bemused opposition politicians.
“No way am I going to apply for a foreign passport for my “Pitzkeleh,” former Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni tweeted above a photo showing the smiling Zionist Union party politician reclining on a sofa and feeding her poodle.
But Zahava Galon, head of the opposition left-wing Meretz party, wrote on Facebook that Ariel’s idea ran contrary to “basic morality” – and she said she had a better idea and quipped that it was time to find a country prepared to grant the minister shelter instead of the dogs.
