Why I love pet talk.

[CathyBogart]

I used to be a member of a board FULL of rat snobs. I once *GASP* bought a feeder rat as a pet, thus perpetuating the trend of live rats being used as snake food, and they tore me to shreds about it. Oh, and heaven forbid ANYONE EVER keep a singleton rat.

PT rules!

I may not have been posting much on here recently but i am still on here pretty often. I recently read this article from PC World called "Jerks of the Web". It said that the reason why people act like jerks on the web is because there is no visual contact between the people. They feel more secure acting like a jerk in front of a computer than in person because there is nothing the other person can do about it that will physicaly harm them.

You know the way i look at it, those animals in pet stores need homes too, if everyone adopts from shelters, then they will be left, i am often so tempted when people are in the pet shop thinking of buying a kitten to tell them go to the shelter, because they cost a lot less for one and they are more responsible and give out spaying/neutering vouchers, which only one big pet store in my city does, the rest are so irresponsible and it angers me a lot,but then i look at the adorable kitten they are thinking of taking, and i keep quiet, it deserves a home just as much, not it's fault it comes from breeders or other irresponsible people who let their cats breed,anyhow that is my take on it. so don't feel bad.

As far as pet talk goes, it is simply THE BEST,there are no comparisons IMO,i have no need or desire to join any other pet forum on the net ever,here i am amongst true family and friends.

Yeah! I mean if you buy a guinea pig from a store...you're sort of rescuing :] I mean you're taking them home with you anyways! And if breeders can't sell their pigs to pet stores because no ones buying from pet stores, then they'd send them to a rescue anyways..right?
