How Could You?

It's cruel to treat any animal like it's a human being, and then suddenly change it's status to animal. All my animals are treated like people. Nothing fanatical about it--and I've had to put down my own animals, because of health issues--couldn't dump that on someone else.

If you don't like that, your call, but being sarcastic about it is uncalled for, thanks.
 
Agreed.

I do not treat my animals like my equal, but I still agree that animal fanatics are nothing to be talked down upon. :)

PS: My post after Geoff was a sarcastic reply to his comment... sorry, I wasn't making it seem like I was in agreement with what he said. :o
 
Stories like that always get me, but only with dogs. I guess it's 'cause we lost our big, loveable golden of 13 years just a year ago last Christmas.

As for putting animals down, I know it's fiction, but when you get a pet, you take on the responsability for its life. That means taking care of it, providing it with the best conditions in your means and sufficient conditions otherwise, and, in the end, putting it down in a humane fashion. Although there is an irony here, I'm not touching it.

I don't think that it's fanatical to insist that people should treat their pets properly. Nor to be apalled by those who take ownership of another creature in a negligent or cavalier manner. But then, I've got a bit of a soft spot for the critters.:rolleyes:

guh! Thanks for the update Leo!! Some people really amaze me, it's people like that who wind up dumping these eventual inconveniences off at the shelter door during the middle of the night!

So glad the pup is back with it's mother, but I can't help but also worry what kind of hands the mother of the pup is in if they're handing out her 's puppies so early....
 
Positive note:
My pup is a pound rescue. She's now very well trained, and is considered to be a quiet indoor dog. She's lives the good life of being spoiled (beer and cheezits when I have them), and gets sleep on my bed when it thunders outside -big chicken dog! :)
 
A couple years ago, my mom, brother and I were basically poor as can be. Sharing one room together at my grandma's for about a year.

Pretty much because the dog and 2 cats we had, and they were spoiled.

*chuckles*

I love the animals, and I love my mother for never giving them up for an apartment. It was rough, but well worth it.

^_^

People are just incredibly lazy. It makes me sick to even hear of such things.
Didn't they pass a law in CA to get your pet spayed? Or is that hopeful rumors..
