"i love rooting". this is the mantra of the spring pet of the month. and what a pet he is.

when interviewing this pet we were immediately struck by the uncanny resemblance that he bears to the actor kiefer sutherland. "kiefer, is that you?", we asked. "sssh!", kiefer replied, "this is my day job. don't tell anyone."

the sick boys? tell anyone? your dirty little secret is safe with us kiefer.

tsb: so, kiefer, what's with the career change?
kiefer: it's not a career change, i used to do this before i was an actor.
tsb: so, you've pretty much always been a pig?
kiefer: um, snort, yeah.

tsb: and do you dig it?
kiefer: dig it? i root it! i root everything. i just love rooting the ground with my snout, and rooting in bushes (tsb note - can't fault kiefer here!), rooting trees (tsb note - we've all been there, right?), rooting in garbage (ooookay...) , rooting in shit is good too, i like to get my snout right in there.
tsb: nice one kiefer, nice one. ...let's move on.

tsb: we haven't seen you in many films lately. what's up with that?
kiefer: well, i've been a bit scared of the big screen ever since that little kid beat the crap out of me in 'flatliners'.
tsb: what a swine. oops, sorry kiefer.

well, to wrap things up, let's compare the two kiefers and let you decide if they could in fact be one...

coincidence? we think not.

only 1 animal was harmed in this edition of the sick boys' pet of the month.
