I'm not crazy guys.

None of us said you were. However, you are not someone I think should have pets, or really tend to animals in any way shape or form. You are not someone I would invite into my home, want as a friend or want around anyone or anything I cared for.

I wouldn't wanna break a nail slappin' you silly or ruin good shoes kickin' yer butt to the curb when you started tellin' me that my critters were nutin' but property ;)

I have had pets and have tended them for others. I grew up on a farm. When you are around all types of animals, you respect them. But you can't let them become "human".

I remember 4H'ers who raised their prized animals for their eventual sale. Some of these animals were killed by the buyers for their meat.

It's a hard fact, but one needs to understand that pets can be a simple prized steak, pork loin, or leg of lamb to another.

If you can't develop appropriate releasing mechanisms, I can't understand how these same people feel happy about eating any sort of meat.
