Pets

And I wish we could deal with humans with the same care....although they don't ever seem to show the same unconditional love that a pet does.

I have not seen much of the problems you are discussing, but if it is true the there is a lack of respect here, you are right....it should be stopped. However, I see no problem with discussions on whether pets are bred or if you should have an outdoor cat or what people should do with dogs that bite. I guess that it is not out of line in my book to address these issues as long as it is not nasty. These are issues that may hit a nerve but should be discussed nonetheless.

Please just show support and caring.
