Black dogs and cats: the new bigotry

Stafford shelter offers discount on adoption of black dogs, cats

Every business seems to be offering special deals to get in on the opening weekend of the holiday shopping season.

Even the animal shelter.

Stafford Animal Shelter in Livingston offered to take 75 percent off the adoption fee of any predominantly black animal this weekend in an attempt to help those less popularly hued cats and dogs find a home.

“We do have some bigotry when it comes to black animals. They go a lot slower,” said shelter director Vicki Blakeman. “I don’t know why.”

The fact that black cats and dogs tend to stay in shelters longer than other-colored animals is a well-known fact throughout the animal shelter industry, she said.

Can you imagine? People who don't choose black dogs and cats are BIGOTS! Racists! Prejudiced!

This is the nonsense that passes as rational thought in some circles. Apparently, people exercising choice for whatever reasons, based on whatever preferences, are nothing more than haters. KKK members. Nazis.

The Left's obsession with color as a measure of diversity and tolerance, while simultaneously disparaging intellectual diversity, has now been extended to our choice of pet color. So now I wonder, what other things might be indicators of bigotry. Would eating chocolate ice cream be an indicator of tolerance? Owning a black car? Wearing a black shirt?

I guess I'm not a bigot, because I own a black dog. Wait a minute. I own it? That's slavery!
