Animal Pound #1 - "The Proud Dog Dies"

[laughing_tree]

So I was like, there should be sort of an Animal Farm about today, a warning as much as Orwell’s work served as a warning of what could happen, another sort of warning. And that’s a stupid arrogant thought, and I really should have thrown that in the trash and been like, “Tom, you’re not a good enough writer to do this.” But then I was like, “Oh,” I got so motivated. -- Tom King

I’m missing how this is a Star Wars tie-in.

Oops, I had leftover tags from another post. Fixed now!

Looks as though the rabbits aren’t yet ready to buy it. (And I’m wondering what the story is going to do about obligate carnivory—surely not the usual bugs-and-fish dodge?)

Do pet-flaps not exist in this universe?

Do people who don't have fenced yards generally leave those unlocked when they're out of their houses? Seems kind of hazardous for the pets.

Kind of validates my decision not to own or adopt pets.
