They are, indeed, and best seen in their own natural habitat where they are happy-I love cats and all animals, but wild ones should be just that, unless they are injured, or have been domesticated illegally and can’t live outside of captivity again. I doubt it is the best life for a wild animal to live in a house and yard, eating packaged food and playing with toys made for pets.

Of course they don’t abuse them-there are a few farms here that sell those little miniature pigs-the Asian ones-as housepets, and they are treated just like dogs in a quality kennel.

Those fanatics are not just interested in regulation for animal welfare, either-if you read the fine print of a lot of their proposals, they want to shut down small breeders, eliminating competition to favor large kennels, thus inflating prices, which has nothing to do with “animal welfare”.

But puppy mills are a different matter-they raise pet animals in conditions you would not keep any livestock in...

A medal/necklace of his chosen saint or a Catholic Bible. Sounds like how I was brought in. St. Vinnie’s had 3 priests, you picked one and got private sessions til they believed you were ready.

Xs boy bought xsbaby a small drone for Christmas, of course he plays with it more than she does, but all four kids have had fun with it. Now he’s terrorizing the dogs with it! He is quite good at controlling it now. We have cathedral ceilings so he has a lot of room to maneuver.

I don't like the idea of non-employees handling our mail or package delivery. UPS had a big story about one of their drivers stealing two dogs from the yard of a delivery location. They were some special (expensive) breed and he couldn't even handle them inside his truck so they got away from him later in the day. Fortunately someone saw them on the street and got them to spca or some rescue and the owners found them. They also had cameras and he was clearly shown on Houston tv stealing the dogs. he got fired.

But peeing on packages? This guy must have had some rage issues!
