I feel badly for you. You offered your opinion in an intelligent and well thought out manner based on what you know from extensive experiences (which is how this forum operates) only to be blasted and called names. It's disgusting.

It's okay for people to disagree but to blast you like this, name calling and a total disregard for civil debate. There's no excuse.

Thanks for the kind sentiment. But, I do not feel badly. Which is why, when I posted, I said right up front "Animal rights wackos won't like to hear this".

I deal with this ALL the time. I am probably one of the ONLY conservatives who does any of the volunteer work for ARL. Here, anyway, maybe I have a few clones in other states and towns. But speaking of my local scene. 99.999% would put their animal over their child. 99.99% are pro choice too. I deal with THAT. A few times a month. Every month and in person, not some drunk troll in his basement posting on a board in his boxers. LOL

I am just a little taken back that they are so blind as to not even see the SIMPLE "A is riskier than B" element. I mean, for real... they think it's SAFER with a random animal... just because nothing has happened to them YET?? That fails every basic logic course on face value, and the subject matter isn't even relevant.

So, don't feel bad for me... feel bad for them, their kids and some poor innocent friend or neigbor when their luck runs out and they find out how wrong they were. THAT is something worthy of our feelings.
