sex offender lists are supposed to protect children, not animals. lists actually do nothing to protect anyone. they have been the reason for several murders though.

Because sodomy is so poorly defined in Michigan law, I have a somewhat different problem with this bill. As a dog breeder, the management of my animals' reproduction sometimes requires digital evaluation of prostate health (in males) and rectal exams of females in labor to determine the position of an unborn puppy. In an era where dog breeders are under constant attack by animal rights activists, the Michigan Association of Purebred Dogs opposes this bill.
