Did You Know? Grooming

The above term is defined as “the practice of brushing and cleaning the coat of a horse, dog, or other animal.”

Regular grooming is depicted as “being essential to the well-being of your dog.” Numerous pet grooming stations around the area advertise “a full range of grooming services from baths, haircuts, nail trimming, etc.”

The constantly growing animal population in Downtown Chattanooga is being memorialized by more owners and their pets walking proudly on the streets of the Dynamo of Dixie and other reminders left by them.

However, there is another definition of “grooming” that has taken center stage in Gig City as the result of a recent live performance at a local watering hole that has somehow gotten leaked and distributed to the local television stations during this “rating period” (which station has the biggest audience).

The additional definition of “grooming” has a different meaning to some residents of “the Buckle of the Bible Belt” (former home of Tennessee Temple University) that has gotten them upset.

“Grooming” has taken on a modern definition of being the action of a pedophile (definition in dictionary) of preparing a child for a meeting via an internet chat room with the intention of committing a sexual offense.

As expected, the longtime protector of abortion and Biblical teachings (and others) CW has made a public showing before a local municipality council and expressed their First Amendment right of expression about the presence of young minors participating in which he describes as unacceptable conduct as displayed on the local television channels.

Quick acting politicians from near and far have expressed their concern for the activity that will likely result in a thorough investigation by local law enforcement and prosecutors?
