If This Weren't So Stupid, It'd Be Funny

If you think there's a bunch of idiots working at the IRS these days, there's at least a few more working at the USDA.  Seems as though the morons in the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service division found out a few years back that Marty Hahne out there in Ozark, Missouri is a magician and that he uses a three pound live rabbit in his act.  Back then Marty was doing a show for a bunch of kids at the local library and an off-duty USDA animal inspector was there and busted him for not having a license for his rabbit.  Well, Marty got himself an official USDA rabbit license and he hasn't had a problem since...'til the other day when he got an eight page letter from the USDA.

Seems as though some rabbit lovin' nimrods at the local USDA office say's that by July 29 Mr. Hahne needs to have in place a written "disaster plan", detailing all the steps he would take to help get his rabbit through a disaster, such as a tornado, fire, flood, nuclear accident, etc.  These dummies not only want to know how he will protect his three pound furry assistant during a disaster, they also want to know what he will do after the disaster, to make sure his rabbit gets cared for properly.  And if Marty doesn't have this written "rabbit disaster plan" in place by the end of July, he's subject to fines and possible jail time.

Like I said folks, if this weren't so stupid, it'd be funny.

Speaking of funny, Bob McCarty at bobmccarty.com suggests that Marty's disaster plan should be just a simple tag tied around the rabbit's neck with instructions on what to do after the disaster strikes...
