Pharisees.

10. Separation of Church and Animals . . .

Animals everywhere look forward to the passage of this bill. Says Animal Kingdom spokesperson Leroy Lion, "We eagerly anticipate the day when the world will no longer confuse us with, nor hold us responsible for the sins of our our less-evolved, less civilized relatives, Homosapiens."
