add-on...

forgot to mention in the previous post, wrt to the "if you think animals have just as many rights as humans" bit...
Another hint: Why do you certain breeds of dogs are more prone to certain diseases? because they were INBRED. i.e. they had sex with their siblings and produced offspring. Sure, that makes sure that they all have blue eyes and whatnot, but also ensures that they will have early onset arthritis, or cataracts, or allergies, or weirdly in-grown nails, or name-of-the-other-hundreds-of-diseases-that-certain-dogs-get. ... I'd like to kidnap these people, and then make them breed with their siblings and parents and see how they like that.

Do you still think that animals have just as much rights as humans??
If yes - then stop buying pets. u're only contributing to the problem.
If no - good. then stop complaining and whining about pets and how they deserve special parks, and don't deserve to be muzzled, and how they need PT.

(and btw, cats are the source of many asthma attacks and respiratory illness. so i don't like cats either, in case u think this was an anti-dog rant. I like dogs a HELL OF A LOT more than cats. .... and i actually wanted a puppy before. but not anymore. i'll just play (i.e. torture) other people's pets when i throw balls for them to fetch.)
