Re: [pyrnet] Anthromorphizing animals

["Chrissy McConnell" <chrissy_mcconnell@hotmail.com>]

I don't know.  I look at things dealing with animals a lot differently than 
the way I was brought up.  It seemed to be:  like/love animals, take care of 
them, etc. but don't get too attached and/or no clue about responsible 
breeding.

Now it's:  Love animals, take care of them, get very attached, promote 
responsible breeding and spay/neutering, etc., etc.
