Military Coup in NZ

"Consideration of others is essential for the survival of all."        Broughton Treasure, a 115 year old bitch Fox Terrier, has staged a military coup in New Zealand. Acting General Major Treasure, has taken over the New Zealand Government as of yesterday. Canine troops armed with motorised kennels occupy Parliament Building in Wellington. Major roads are closed to all traffic.  All current politicians are under house arrest and confined to their local brothels.  Airports and shipping lanes are closed.  Nobody can enter of leave NZ until full canine control is established.  This is expected within 24 hours.  General Major Treasure made a TV announcement stating she would be acting Prime Minister until a new PM is appointed in two weeks.  Democratic elections will be held in 12 months.  All felines are barred from holding public office until certain matters are settled. General Major Treasure stated that the ousted Labour Coalition Government had turned New Zealand into a Hitler style regime.  This was not acceptable, as freedom of choice had been destroyed for political avarice and vote buying.  In the name of democracy, NZ must be returned to a fair and just society to enable all citizens to live in an enlightened atmosphere. Previously, canines out for a harmless evening stroll were arrested and confined to concentration camps known as Pounds.  There were many Pounds spread secretly around the countryside.  After a week of substandard food and living conditions, they were given a lethal injection and their bodies disposed of in deep pits in out of the way places.  The locals pretended they knew nothing of the canine genocide. General Major Treasure declares microchips installed in canine shoulders were illegal and uncomfortable.  They caused out of control humans to enter private canine territory and unjustly attack the peace loving residents.  She also demanded that the recently demoted Pluto be reinstalled as the ninth planet.  Suggestions that the late government's excessive repressive legislation restricting progress in many fields of endeavour were behind the coup, was admitted with low growls.  However, eternal democracy was the real reason and squatting and widdle deliverance in public areas was an essential canine action and should not be illegal. When a canine has to go, it has to go!  Millions of years of canine defecation had enriched planet Earth and created food sources for all God's creatures.  Canines inhabited Earth long before humans evolved into mindless monkeys swinging from trees.  Human respect for canines was essential for beneficial diplomatic relationships between the two species.  The inferior species should not be deem itself superior to the disadvantage of canines. The Ex Prime Minister, bird watching in the Canary Island at public expense, renewed her attack on canines stating that they were "corrosive and cancerous" to her dictatorship.  Stooping lower than low, she suggested that because General Major Treasure had never has puppies, she must be gay.  Naturally, should the Ex PM return to NZ, she will be subject "crimes against canine" charges. So far the coup has been bloodless.  No humans have been harmed, although many were ankle bitten to ensure they understood that they were no longer ruled NZ.  General Major Treasure has deemed that all humans living on the public payroll, be micro chipped for easy identification.  Because they contributed so little to society, their weekly food allowances would be reduced by 60% and their numbers reduced by approximately 45%.  This would ensure NZ was not over governed by overweight multi thousands of unproductive humans. General Major Treasure insists that due respect be shown to the new Maori Queen.  Dog roll manufacturers will be encouraged to produce a better tasting product at lower prices.  If they refuse, their businesses will be off-shored to India and China for cheaper and better products. New Zealand will now be ruled by an intellectually superior canine, in an honest and democratic fashion.  General Major Treasure is considering changing her name to Napoleon and walking on two legs. General Major Treasure cites the following.  "Never before in the history of human endeavour, has so little been achieved by so many wastrels."
