As the “Higher Education Bubble” bursts and classes are cancelled as a result of Obamacare rules, you would think Americans would begin learning that nothing in life is free…especially when it comes to colleges.

However, people often find that logic and reason go out the pet-door when it comes to their treasured creatures. Here is Campus Reform’s most recent video investigation:

More than 100 individuals signed a petition outside the U.S. Capitol in Washington D.C., on Tuesday demanding that the nearby University of Maryland provide healthcare coverage for pets of students, faculty and administrators.

“Everything that’s living and breathing needs to have health insurance,” said one signee of the petition. “Giraffes, animals, everything needs health insurance.”

The satirical petition, which was met with enthusiasm from more than 100 signees, was created for the purpose of the video. It proposed UMD administrators use student fees and taxpayer dollars to add “universal pet health insurance” to students’ health plan.

“The people for universal college institution pet coverage want to use student fees and public funds to offer aid to students who need help caring for their pets as an addition to the University of Maryland Student Health Plan,” it read.

While a handful of people refused to sign, most quickly agreed, hailing it as a great cause.
