lol....are you referring to the comment about pet worship? I normally keep that to myself, as I am greatly out-numbered these days! I don’t dislike pets, but I am often shaking my head at the over-the-top attachment some people have to them. The devotion some people have to their pets, IMHO, is just not healthy.

Yes, indeed I am! It’s ridiculous how this nation has put animals on the same level and many times above that of humankind. Millions of dollars are being spent keeping sick, diseased and disabled animals alive in shelters while children are starving all over the world.
In the event of some major catastrophe, I wonder how many of these animal worshippers would let their children starve before they would eat Fluffy or Fido. A good many I would say. Common sense has definitely become a scarce commodity these days when it comes to animals.
I watch men who are firefighters and rescue workers risk their lives and that of their families to save a dog someone has stupidly let go into a dangerous situation and they’re hailed as heroes. I wonder if their families would think so if they died saving an animal at the expense of their spouses, children and loved ones. I say the animal isn’t worth risking a human life. However, I’m sure that I’m vastly outnumbered too since such incidents always make the news and are reported as if they made sense.
I was brought up on a farm and it wasn’t unusual for me to enjoy petting an animal one day and enjoying it on my plate the next. We are so spoiled a society that our common sense has been skewed. I don’t like to think about what has to happen to bring it back around.
