My family got my dog from a pound. She had been previously abused so we took her. I got my cat for my 4th bday. I like my animals. I'm thinking of getting an iguana.

I have 4 cats, 2 dogs, a fish, a newt, and a mouse. I adore all of my pets...they are wonderful companions. I've had my one cat since I was 8 years old...I'm 20 now, and she is still one of my sweetest friends in the world.

at the very least, owning pets has been proven to extend peoples' lives.

I've got one cat laying on my feet, another on my lap, and another rubbing against my right hand...which makes it hard when I'm using the mouse because he keeps making me click it.

I hate humans. I find them to be utterly repellant, for the most part. Animals, on the other hand, tend to be more innocent and pure.

I think its better people are loving pet owners than leaving poor pets to be abused
I want a dog but my mum thinks it would be cruel to leave him alone all day- I see her point..but some animals are adorable but then again some animals can get nasty and violent which scares me ![]() |

I have two dogs and i love them but treat them as dogs. I dont go out buying things all the time for my dogs like some people do. I think it funny when I a dog in a sweater or when a famous person buys a 5m doggie collar for their dog that just makes me laugh.

People who care more for their pets than they do for suffering people would be selfish regardless of whether they had pets or not. Pets just happen to be the particular poison of some selfish people. It could be cars or clothes or whatever, they would atill spend their money on that instead of on the poor. I think that it doesnt matter if its love for pets or love for people, because love is excessive by nature. The more of it there is the better. Heck, there are probably people in this world who would never know love or be able to show it if they didnt have a pet. Is that such a bad thing? As for me personally, I adore animals. I have two cats right now and they are my princesses. But i do draw the line with them somewhere. They are animals afer all. I go as cheap as possible wherever possible. I don't believe in paying for expensive, unnecessary options and I can concieve of situations where they would come last on my list of priorities. I just hope to God that it never comes to that. So I guess what I am trying to say is that I agree with both sides here to some degree. |

this thread seems quite silly, pets/animals have been part of civilization since the beginning of recorded history
they bring companionship and comfort to millions of people worldwide, yes it's unfortunate their are orphans in the world, but just because someone can take care of a pet doesn't mean they could substitute another human being in that pet's place |

I looooove my kitty, :) Cats in general make me melt.
I don't really buy it though when some people say that animals are more noble or "better" than humans; thery're just less complex creatures, that's all. Being good is about making moral choices, and I don't believe that animals do that. |
