It is sad that so many people out there don't know what they are missing but it's really nasty when they want to tell you that your silly for feeling the way you do. Shame shame on him!!!
I have such an attitude about people who are not fond of animals that I don't get approached much on that subject. I had a coworker recently who was not aware of how I feel and she made some kind of negative cat comment. Before she could go any further I told her to be very careful about what she said because I have a tendancy to go very bolistic when it comes to any animal comments that aren't kind. She immediately backed up and shut up. I then took her to my computer and showed her pictures of Magoo and surprisingly enough she actually had lots of questions about him. No more negative remarks made around me though. I am so passionate about animals that I would get fired before I would back down from a fight about how deserving they are of love and care.
