Baby for dog?

Not that I'm looking for a great debate as this is hardly debate worthy, but isn't this one of the signs of the apocalypse?

Woman tries to trade her baby for a dog

I'm fairly convinced that this is another sign that the world is irrevocably fucked.

I think we've established that the world is a rather lovely place, if only our Greenlandish friends would shut up scaring people for a few minutes. This story only becomes news when the baby bites the dog...

but why would you trade a baby for something else that shits all over the place. get some drugs, at least.

Bah, dogs. If you're gonna swap a baby, swap it for something that doesn't need you. Like a cat. Or a chair. Or gum.

I got my last dog as a result of someone giving him up coz they'd had a baby. Now that's fucked.
"Oo, I've got a dog. Think I'll have a baby too. If they don't get along, I can always get rid of one of them. You know, the hairy one."
Bastards.

Although to be fair, I got seven years of fun 'n' frolics with my hairy little chum, Taylor, as a result of the twat who previously owned him, so I suppose I shouldn't complain.

Remember, a baby is for life not just christmas. Execpt the baby jesus who is just for christmas. And he never owned a dog.

I think it's a sign that the girl is irrevocably fucked, rather than the world. What bothers me is that she's still got custody of a sprog she evidently values less highly than a pet. That's scary.

America has been called a nation of many things.

In a country where a woman can leave a request for suit in her suicide note and be taken seriously, one of the more accurate is The Nation of Litigation.

I can guarantee that there would be some kind of suit if the infant had been removed from her custody and I would be betting in favour of the woman winning.

I'd rather have a dog than a baby. But that's probably just because I like dogs and don't like children.
But, Mordant's point stands- how the fuck can someone who'd trade their own child in (for anything) be allowed to make that decision? I dunno, call me old-fashioned, but...
