I hear what you are saying .My stepdad was the same way i grew up on a farm,and there used to be cats tons of them and there was always kittens,well as a child i thought they should be in the house.But dad never agreed on that i find most Farmers have a bad attitude against animals in there eyes they only babied the cows (They made them money right)Not all are like that but a good majority are Now that he is older he has a total different attitude towards them as me and my sister have animals and they love them to death.Sometimes people need eye openers too see how precious these animals really are and how they bring so much love into our homes and THEY MAKE OUR HOMES HOLE!!!
