How come Barney Frank introduced a bill to exempt Gerbils from animal cruelty laws?

[Me]

What does he feel Gerbils shouldn't receive protections?

 

[Huggy]

For the obvious reason: Sooner or later some lib will accidentally sit on a gerbil, and need to have it surgically removed.

Because he knows full well that removing gerbils from his a$$ is cruelty to animals.
