You all remember my crazy, monkey-smuggling client, right? no? well, go here and read the previous post then.

Anyway, she and her daughter have been convincted and sentenced. And I just wanted to point out a couple of things....

1: "During the trip home, Ogren sent an e-mail to “NE Washington Witches and Pagans” at a Yahoo account and asked “for last-minute energy” to help them safely smuggle the monkey into the United States." Well. I tend not to assume things about people's religions, but... really? a mass email to a witchery group asking for energy to help break a handful of laws? And people wonder why pagans get a reputation for being untrustworthy?

2: "The monkey caper ended the day after Christmas last year when Pratt and Lawson visited the Fashion Bug store in north Spokane and told a clerk how the monkey was smuggled into the United States. That clerk called federal agents, who opened the investigation." Okay, so she's crazy AND stupid--crap, any 4 year old knows you don't commit a felony and then brag about it to random strangers. Fuck.

Also, given this woman's fanatic anti-government-ism, I think the concept of being "under court supervision for three years" will chafe her intolerably. (Yay!)

NAIS

For those of you who don't know, NAIS is the National Animal Identification Service, the basic idea of which is that if a central database of who keeps what type of livestock where and who sells what into the food chain exists, then disease control and trace-backs of food chain contamination will be easier.

Of course, tons of people immediately threw a fit, because this obviously means that the gub'nment wants to be able to confinscate your aminals. (Please see the rant about the monkey smuggler, as she's fanatically anti-animal identification.)

Anyway, I signed myself up, being the good commie girl that I am. Cost me all of about 5 minutes and a stamp. I've been signed up for over a year now, and am happy to say that the government has not come to take my horses (yet).

However, they did very nicely send me a letter today, warning me that several horses in the state have potentially been exposed to a highly-contagious disease, and explaining what horses are most at risk, what signs to watch for, and what to do if I notice said signs. You know, this is suspiciously like what they said I was signing up for....

That I have crazy/weird clients. This woman is one of them:

This is, by the way, the woman who wanted me to remove microchips from her dogs. Who is adamantly (fanatically, even) opposed to the National Animal Identification System.
As Dr S says "Gee, no wonder she's opposed to animal identification!"



This woman is another:
