California vs. Texas...


Governors of two states jogging with their dogs along a trail. Coyote jumps out and starts to attack dog:



California:

#1. Governor starts to intervene and then realizes he should stop; the coyote is doing what is natural.

#2. Call animal control. Animal control captures coyote and spends $200 testing it for diseases and $500 relocating it.

#3. Call Vet. Veterinarian collects dead dog and spends $200 testing it for diseases.

#4. Governor goes to hospital and spends $3500 getting checked for diseases from the coyote and getting bite wound bandaged.

#5. Running trail gets shut down for 6 months while wildlife services conduct a $100,000 survey to make sure the area is clear of dangerous animals.

#6. Governor spends $50,000 and starts a coyote awareness program for people who live in the area.

#7. State legislature spends $2 million investigating how to better handle rabies and how to possibly eradicate it.

#8. Governor's security agent fired for not stopping the attack and letting the Governor try to intervene.

#9. Cost $75,000 to train new security agent.

#10. PETA protests the relocation of the coyote.



Texas: (aka The Great State of Texas)

#1. Governor Rick Perry spends $1.23 on a .380 ACP Gold Dot Hollow Point, and he and the dog keep jogging.

And everyone wonders why California is BROKE.
