The Sunday Telegraph reports that an immigrant who was about to be deported from Britain has won a legal battle to remain in the country – partly because he and his girlfriend had bought a pet cat.
"The Asylum and Immigration Tribunal ruled that sending the Bolivian man back to his homeland would breach his human rights because he was entitled to a "private and family life", and joint ownership of a pet was evidence that he was fully settled in this country." (my emphasis)

Does not compute. His girlfriend and cat could go back to Bolivia with him if they so wish.
Exactly - glad someone else is thinking. The fact that both cats could go back to Bolivia just demonstrates the problems with stupid laws and the stupid rulings that result!
