California To Create Public Animal Abuser Registry
An anonymous reader writes "California legislators are moving forward with plans to create a public, online, animal abuser registry identical in function to the public sex offender registry. Is this the slippery slope to further government mandated lists and registries?"
I hate to discover only after the fact that someone I'm having a conversation with likes to beat a dead horse.
I scream. You scream. I assume that means we're both acquainted with the problem. We proceed.
Violent bestiality with a minor?
Sheep farms could background check employees against this type of list.
If someone's puppy goes missing they could use these lists to interview suspects.
And if a dead squirrel is found, detectives might be able to rule out natural causes if an abuser is found.
They should be careful not to take it so far. Many birders could be put at risk merely for taking a picture of a young chick.
Next time they will create a public online registry of slashdotters.
That is all.
When information is power, privacy is freedom.
You left out people who self-abuse.
Oh crap...
Who are you? The new #2 Who is #1? You are #617565. I am not a number, I am a free man! Muhahaha.
I'd like to have a registry listing people in favor of registries. So I can avoid dealing with the fascist fucks.
