Clarion, all you have done is show your true colours, and instead of making me look like a ‘sad snowflake’, you have just shown what a nasty, spiteful, insensitive **** that you are!! Well done.
10CS you clearly do not appreciate the relationship that a lot of folk have with their pets. I am sure that many share your opinion but it would be minority view still.
You're entitled to your opinion but I don't think it's the appropriate time to argue the rights and wrongs of it.
Animals are NOT humans, Anthropomorphism and all that!
BUT...Animals (pets) DO become like family.
I was upset when my pet rats had to be put down. People thought that I was bonkers (it was only a couple of rats) but I was genuinely upset so I can sympathise with Smow.
So sorry, smow xx I'm sure a lot of us understand the feeling. I had to have a dog euthanised and was devastated. Be glad you had her and you did the right thing for her xx
