CA vs TX

The Governors of each state are jogging with their dogs along a nature trail. A coyote jumps out and attacks him and his dog.


California:


#1. Governor starts to intervene, reflects upon the movie "Bambi" and then realizes he should stop; the coyote is only doing what is natural.


#2. He calls Animal Control. Animal Control captures coyote and spends $200 testing it for diseases and $500 upon relocating it.


#3. He calls veterinarian. Vet collects dead dog and spends $200 testing it for diseases.


#4. Governor goes to hospital and spends $3,500 getting checked for diseases from the coyote and on 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 of state funds implementing a "coyote awareness" program for residents of the area.


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


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


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


#10. PETA protests the coyote relocation and files suit against the state.


Texas :
