Animals are wonderful, especially the furry ones, especially with some potatoes and gravy.

However, people who dedicate their lives to their pets could probably benefit from more constructive interaction with people.

Apologies to all of you Freepers with 50 cats in your living room.

It go overboard, but so can mansions, car accessories,computer gear, etc. Animals are one step above that.

I have not known Bob Barker to be disrespectful to those who disagree with him. He has always been a true professional (watch someone prove me wrong). He has shown over the years that one can be friendly with people as well as animals. Even if you go overboard on the animals, the two are not mutually exclusive. I believe his friendliness with the contestants is genuine. I know he was accused of shennanigans with the prize models, but I don't know if there is much to that.

Unfortunately, the positions that will be bought with his money will be staffed with horrific crazies. THAT is the problem.

As the old saying goes "The more people I meet, the more I love my dogs".

I have 7 dogs, and I couldn’t agree with you more. I also have 4 children and 6 grandchildren, who definitely rank above the dogs. I love my dogs, treat them incredibly well, and would never hurt an animal, but I would never make them a priority over people.

The same people who are members of PETA and other animal rights advocates are generally the same ones who think nothing of killing a baby in the womb.
