"Zoo boasts birth of 5 white tigers" by Associated Press | January 8, 2010
Isn't that some sort of prophecy?
This the year the USraeli Empire begins to fall?
SANTIAGO, Chile - The Chilean National Zoo is celebrating the birth of a rare litter of five white tigers. Mauricio Fabry, zoo director, said the zoo will build a special habitat to accommodate the tigers born on Dec. 28. He said the new enclosure will include a large expanse of grass and waterfalls and will be without bars. On Wednesday, zoo officials implanted subcutaneous chips in the cubs to identify them....
The globalist control freaks at work again.
Think I'll give the cat back then.
Now where can I get a dog?
"no one informed residents of the plan until they demanded answers.... and the city acknowledges that the project did not go through the appropriate permitting process."
Ah, the SMELL of Massachushitts "democracy" sure is FAMILIAR!
Okay, let's try there:
"Dog hotel plan draws howls of protests; Residents cite noise, parking concerns" by Meghan E. Irons, Globe Staff | December 12, 2009
The entrepreneur billed it as Boston’s premier overnight dog hotel, offering upscale boarding and weekend “day’’ care for the discriminating pet. For dogs, it would be puppy paradise, complete with massages, acupuncture, and hydrotherapy.
Do you SMELL SOMETHING, readers?
But the enterprise’s would-be neighbors in South Boston see the project as anything but heavenly. At a community meeting this week, they panned the plan, which they say would cause major disruption in the middle of their densely populated residential neighborhood.
“I’m like, ‘Oh, my God, how can they put that here?’ ’’ said Marjan Rabiee, who can see the lot outside her back porch. “I have cancer, and I won’t be able to stand the noise and smell.’’
WHO CARES about YOU!!? You only LIVE THERE, lady!!
Residents recently learned about the planned dog hotel, called Fenway Bark, after a banner was posted on a fence on East First Street at the proposed site, which housed a former printing company and is bordered by rows of houses on three sides.
Jane Fulton, the South Shore woman who devised the kennel plan, said the dog hotel, which would occupy one block between East Second and East First streets near K Street, would create 17 jobs and a one-stop solution for grooming, supplies, and training for about 100 dogs, as well as a handful of cats....
Yeah, that will save our economy!
Nice front-section propaganda promotion, Globe.
Residents said the kennel would create noise, a nasty animal odor, and increased traffic in a neighborhood where parking is scarce.
But WHO WOULDN'T want a DOG HOUSE right PLOP in the middle of the neighborhood, ruff-ruff!
And they were irate that no one informed them of the plan until they demanded answers....
Residents also contend and the city acknowledges that the project did not go through the appropriate permitting process....
Hey, WHAT RIGHT to KNOW do they have?
They ONLY LIVE THERE!!!!
*****************
At this week’s community meeting, Fulton and her business partner, Jim Morrison, seemed stunned and flustered as more than 100 residents sneered, snickered, and shouted their opposition to the plan.
Unfortunately, THEIR ARROGANCE brought this down upon them because THEY NEVER THOUGHT of HOW the NEIGHBORHOOD would feel, and that seems to be the only way to get what you want these days!!
NEVER ONCE ENTERED their MIND!!
Are you telling me NO OTHER LOCATION in the CITY of BOSTON could do this?

Yeah I saw they HAVE SOME ROOM!
The duo played video of a similar dog kennel in Chicago showing a worker reading to dogs and a lounge where the exhausted canines can rest after romping. But South Boston residents were not impressed.
“The building spans two blocks and is surrounded by houses,’’ said Mary Cooney, a community advocate who lives across from the site. “It floors me that she would not have considered that a dog kennel in the middle of the neighborhood would not have an impact on residents.’’
I'm NOT FLOORED by ELITIST ARROGANCE and INSULT anymore; I EXPECT them!
Officials at the BRA said that because of the community opposition, they would be reluctant to support the dog hotel plan.

I know where there is a cage, 'er, room -- but it might smell a bit.
State Senator Jack Hart, who represents the neighborhood, also shares that view. “I stand with the neighborhood,’’ he said....
Translation: I WANT to WIN REELECTION!
And YOU SHOULD ALWAYS STAND with YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD, pols!
That is WHAT YOUR JOB IS, remember?
