That's not too hard to understand. That's the nature of a discussion forum. It's very much like a discussion in any other medium.
If my question is irrelevant you ought to be able to explain why it's irrelevant. I clarified my position quite crisply in post #51 so my original tongue-in-cheek post shouldn't be confusing you now.
I did explain why it’s irrelevant. I don’t know of any definition of civil union that includes animals. Thus, the irrelevance of your question. If the definition is confusing you, though, here ya go: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/civil%20union
I looked at all the definitions, they don’t mention animals.
