Okay, folks, remeber, this is a friendly place, so lets not make judgments on people who do or don't have children or pets, no matter their financial or educational status.
And the Baby of the Day discussion is a little moot anyway - we don't own the domain name, somebody else does!

And frankly, with human children, there would be far more worries about security, and fears of stalking, etc., that we just don't have to worry about with pets. What people do to people is often far scarier than what people do (however sad) to animals. What a strange world we live in.

But hey, we have Pet of the Day and Pet Talk! And some day .... Pettalkville! Rejoice! Be glad - and go hug a furred, feathered or scaled friend!
