                    [Summary] => 

"It’s the ultimate insult to man’s best friend."


Comparing dogs and cats to politicians through political jingles is a violation of the law, which protects the welfare of animals, Raul Lambino, chief legal counsel of the Lakas–Christian Muslim Democrats party said yesterday.

Lambino said it’s unfair to animals to use them as political propaganda and compare them to politicians.

He said the politician’s nature is contrary to that of pets. Dogs and cats are generally considered as faithful and loyal.
