Are we so susceptible that the care of our pets exceed that of our own species? We all know how bad humans are at treating animals on this planet, how many are becoming extinct because of us. But the treatment of cats and dogs goes beyond anything we do for ourselves. There are wars breaking out in subdivisions over the unleashing areas and of cats being allowed to roam freely. Do we need to raise these predators at such a high degree? Yes, they are predators and yes they go outside and attack many other animals that do not have the protection they enjoy. The worst of it is that most of their kills are just for fun, as most pets are so well fed they do not eat what they kill.
Maybe that is what it is, killing for joy, or the notion that these pets can and do kill "just for the fun of it". Sounds like we want company in this area, as that is what we do on a regular basis. But when is it enough, when are there too many pets to be a health problem. These animals create a lot of waste, and we all have to deal with that, not just the pet owners. Pet"owners", maybe it's "owning" a pet or another living thing that is the draw. Because we all know that trying to"own" our kids gets nowhere. Whatever the case, with 7 billion and counting we all can't have these pets as they will eat us out of house and home!
But please, pick up after them! PLEASE
