I was sitting here observing my children watching a movie that has dogs, cats and various farm animals acting out a movie called
Air Buddies. These are jobs that could be performed by perfectly good out-of-work actors. Why would we hire animals to do a job that an actor needs? And how do we know that they are even legal to be here in this country? The type of papers that an animal has for identification can easily be forged. I don't think this practice should be legal. Why doesn't anyone ever complain about the work that is being taken from actors?
This point that I'm making is completely ridiculous, but it reminds me of the argument made by some regarding illegal immigrants. Like there are so many Americans that are willing to work the jobs that immigrants work. The jobs are available to American citizens, yet they won't take them which makes this argument invalid. Their argument is just as crazy as my argument against animals taking the jobs of out-of-work actors.
I never really gave this much thought and it really doesn't bother me. The person who owns the dog is definitely getting paid well. I don't mind it and it's for the kids. But I get what you're saying.
ReplyDeleteI jusy think it's cute. Like obivously animals cannot take our jobs but they can help out and i don't see no problem with it. I'm an animal person so I think it's a pretty good idea.
ReplyDeleteI have to respectfully disagree. First off, America is a pretty big place that covers North, Central, and South America. Even Canada.. But if you are talking about U.S. citizens not taking certain jobs you might be right but I think there is a reason and its not laziness necessarily. I believe its to not be cheated and used as if you are worthless. There was a time when most U.S. citizens didn't need to sacrifice their dignity an self respect for $2.50 an hour. Now might be different. Many business take their opportunities over seas just to be able to compete with other large companies. They need to be able to use cheap labor and goods to make a profit.That's not right in my book. And the businesses here that get to use undocumented workers because they can get a lot for cheap isn't right.They profit and make a lot of money while stealing from the hard work of others simply because they can. To me, that isn't right and just either. When times are bad U.S. citizens will do what they have to do in order to survive. Paying an illegal immigrant to get cheap labor is illegal. If we don't care about that then we might as well get rid of the minimum wage and let employers do whatever they want.
