Let's hope that:

1) Great Kitsune has spoken the truth
2) The Vet isn't the fat PETA guy

I would imagine it's hard getting a vet license with a history of animal-related criminal activity!

Not all fat people are the same person you know. :P

Here comes a new evil character... Just do what the little corgi says, ok? ;) I thought right, this vet isn't the best... :? Well, the owner of Bailey isn't there and probably shouldn't neither be able to get there in time, always if he can. Anyway, now King is her "owner", as legal husband. :roll: Maybe the one with King and Bailey is the first case of married pets, but, does this vet really know how the thing work in his universe? Apparently, no. :P Aww, how cute is Elaine there. :D Eh, he talks about families... Unfortunately, you two are having a different concept of family... Dear vet, if you know the story behind King, then you'll need a psychologist. :P

The leash laws, Joel's pets, the puppy thrown off the bridge, the kid at Bailey's place and Bailey's own attitude towards herself as nothing but property all hint that for the world at large that pets aren't treated any differently than they are in our universe.

Bad bedside manner is the vet dismissing the midwives as useless. The "pets can't speak for themselves and your owners are terrible for letting you think you can" is just being a complete jerk.
In fact, Keene's job, which implies heavy political help, is to make sure that some rights are established, rather than letting Babylon Gardens being a walled-up oasis and ignore the rest of the big bad world. It's rather depressing, to think that 'hey, guys, just roll down, be good fuzzy things and stop believing you can be persons'.
Social evolution is not supposed to happen overnight, of course, but at least law can be used to make things better there.
Or the vet's attitude wouldn't just be 'bad bedside manners', but the natural supremacist attitude of a decent person, to which all good pets must bow and not talk at all.

Yup, lately Rick is having problem with tags.

Here, Jack has the wrong tag: http://www.housepetscomic.com/2015/12/0 ... custodiet/
It should be ‘ “Four Finger Discount” Jack ’ (http://www.housepetscomic.com/tag/four- ... ount-jack/) Instead of simply ‘Jack’ (http://www.housepetscomic.com/tag/jack/)

I noticed Bailey's tag is missing hers in this strip as well.

The vet isn't "evil". The vet character Samantha Walton I created in Richmond Acres is quite a bit like this. I could certainly see her having this reaction to "pet marriages".

They don't even own King legally.

Well not evil, but his jerkitude is not offset by amusing antics like Pete, so he's just a plain old boring jerk who probably won't find much work in this town.
He's not evil , yes . Just a very old time jerk thinking the humans are the summit ; and pets to four , barking or meowing

I sort of wish that Pete was around to show him why it is a bad idea to treat pets as lesser beings.

Friend, you are aware how long I have been part of the community (but since my study took most of my time, silent). I was talking about the real world and (a bit) that comic. Just because I don't like the notion of "pets" being "equal" to humans, doesn't mean, that I dislike the whole comic. No need to get upset about that.

Yeah I actually agree with you sort of. I don't think that the pets should be treated as non-men, but I don't like it when the comic dwells upon their social status.

Jakkal is allowed to dislike treating animals as people in our world, and even in the comic if he so chooses (though I don't think he explicitly stated that), and still continue to read and even enjoy "Housepets!"

I'm not sure that pets in our world would even know if they were being treated like a human or not. O_____o

Knowing King, if Bailey doesn't flip out on this vet at some point he'll probably beat her to it.

It's really weird having these kinds of rights issues finally being brought to the forefront when one of the affected were once actually human.

Waiting patiently for King and/or Bailey to flip out on this creep.
