how can anyone find love offensive? people aughta live and let love.
life is life. in my opinion, people are just over-thinking animals, and human life is no more or less precious than any animals life.. i'm not saying that i believe in life at all costs... and i'm not "pro-life"... but it's all precious and i don't believe in loving "a lower life form" any less than you would love your own flesh and blood.
a child grows up. teaching love, morals and survival skills is very, very important at the beginning, but eventually the kid grows up and thinks for him/herself. keeping a pet healthy, happy and loved is almost more of a commitment a'cause it never "grows up" to be self sufficient. an animal offers pure love it's entire life and deserves it in return.
i also think the people that say pets don't think or dream are deluded and need to get over themselves. animals are just as thinking and feeling as humans are... they just think and feel differently.
