"It's high time that Parliament declared a ban on vicious canines that keep wanting to attack people purely because they are on social welfare benefits!" Tripitaka Adelie-Penguin said today.

Ms. Adelie-Penguin said that if she caught any more ARF members slobbering or slavering in her direction, she would call the Wellington City Council animal control services if they ventured out of Parliament.

"It's time that the Mad Aucklandian Prebbo and other demented doggedness were put down once and for all!"
