Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) — Obama’s EPA, we can say, now — announced today it will review pet flea and tick products, to prevent abuse and errors of use.
The flea and tick lobby will be upset, of course. Will the rabid Nobamistas join them? I expect someone will complain that this is creeping socialism, unless they say it’s running communism.
Before they get too far down that road, let’s note that pet ownership, and pet protection, were not exactly a high priority of the Soviet Union, nor are they great concerns of the Peoples Republic of China, nor of the Peoples Republic of Korea, nor Cuba, nor Vietnam. On the political continuum, protecting pets from pesticide abuse is about as bourgeois as it gets, rather the opposite of socialism.
How badly do the heathen want to yowl? Watch that space.
Full press release below the fold.
