Sometimes it needs to be pointed out that we focus on something odd that doesn't happen often to use it as a way to argue. An isolated and very rare instance. How many have ever seen a person lift their dog to a water fountain? How frequently do we use water fountains? And if WE DID follow a dog to the fountain it wouldn't kill us or even sicken us, it offends many and rightfully so. But what does Rubicon call the debate term where we use a miniscule ugly thing to make a point?
We know that the animal folks, the dog and cat owners FAR outnumber the others both here and in the whole of the United States and Europe. That says something about the human race and their instinctive need and enjoyment of little furry friends.
And just for argument, how many in their lifetimes have become wet all over in a swimming pool. Swimming pool water that touches our lips also swishes in and around other body parts.
