Replying to A tax credit...for OWNING A PET???

Seriously, WTF.  Our country is in HUGE debt and you want to give a tax break for owning a pet that's almost as big as the human dependent deduction?  Owning a pet is a personal choice that should have absolutely nothing to do with paying taxes.  You might as well give me a tax break for skiing, that shit's expensive.
