Cat Food

Some of my friends are cat-sitting. I was with them when they went on a city-wide search for cat food. It's not really a common thing, 3 stores carry it and it's really expensive. Animals aren't really popular in this culture. There are plenty of animals roaming the street but not many people have pets that you have to go out of your way to take care of. And now the trouble is that none of our 3 stores have pet food anymore.

At the last store we went to the owner told my friend that he can't carry cat food or dog food anymore because it's been outlawed. Apparently importing it is just 'ruining' the economy and it is unnecessary to import food for animals that can eat trash off the street. Sure. So it is now illegal.

Huh. So the 3 stores that carried imported pet food are responsible for all the trouble with the economy? Because I thought there might have been several things that weren't really working out so well but, I stand corrected, it was the cat food all along.
