I have had pets. I love pets and animals. What I don't like, and what is so bizarre about the post to which I responded, is that so many people treat pets as if they are humans. The death of a pet, however "tragic," is not the same as the death of a human. To even describe a pet as a "loved one" means that you're the one with the reality problems.

What you are missing here is that what you said is your opinion, that doesn't make it true for everyone. Rather than post your opinion on someone's vanity thread expressing their pain, you might wait until a discussion comes up about this issue if you have such a strong desire to share your opinion your opinion on this. There is a time and a place for everything, try common decency.

And guess what, my reality is dogs are more innocent than humans, thus easier to love which is why dog lovers have such a hard time with their death, IMHO, it only means you have never had the opportunity to love an animal, too bad.
