From the NYTimes: "Last year, Connecticut enacted a law that, according to legal experts, made it the first state to allow judges to appoint lawyers and law students as advocates for dogs and cats"
Cats and dogs need lawyers like a golf ball needs a bat;
It’s cruelty to animals -- on that I will stand pat.
I do not think a schnauzer wants a shyster as a friend.
And why would any tomcat need assistance rules to bend?
Suppose this trend spreads to the parakeets in gilded cages,
To bunnies and to guppies -- it would be a new Dark Ages.
Humanity has suffered from attorneys far too long.
Inflicting them on animals would be a beastly wrong!
