Stop With The Outrage

Sometimes you see advocacy groups go fuckin’ bat shit insane so that their cause gets acceptance, and today, we have one of those examples.

The pets of Palm Beach Community College employees will qualify for discounted group medical insurance beginning in January, but domestic partners are still barred from receiving similar benefits.

School officials sent a memo last week explaining the new voluntary pet benefit available via payroll deduction through the private company Veterinary Pet Insurance.

Full-time college employees can receive a 5 percent discount on services because of the college’s enrollment in the program, which covers dogs and cats, but also hedgehogs, frogs, guinea pigs, geckos, iguanas and sugar gliders – small flying mammals native to Australia.

PBCC’s response makes complete sense.
