This is just a small note, but as somebody who genuinely likes nearly all animals (horseflies grimly excluded), I was a little surprised and unhappy to see Jonathan Babineaux arrested on charges of animal abuse. I can only hope he was dressing his poodles up in humiliating sweaters and forcing them to perform Shakespearen theatre. Anything that extends to physical abuse or neglect and Babineaux gets no sympathy from me.
