Made in the USA: Obama & ‘Paperless’ Pups

President Obama released the “long version” of his birth certificate today, which proves that he is a Hawaiian-born American. One might say he is much like millions of American mutts who are unfairly criticized because of their lack of “papers.” In fact, PETA is saying it—in an ad we plan to run in Obama’s birthplace, Honolulu:

 

Obama declared, “We do not have time for this kind of silliness.” Dogs in animal shelters don’t have time for silliness either. Every second that passes—and every purebred dog purchased on a whim from a breeder or a pet store—brings shelter dogs one step closer to dying for lack of a good home.

If you must have a dog with “papers,” please adopt a purebred from a shelter. And if you just want a Great American Mutt to love, shelters are full of those too.
