Tora is right, perhaps the dog would be a much better comparison. Dogs are very useful in many breeds however, some breeds are created with nothing but vanity in mind and unfortunately with vanity comes greed and exploitation. Thus making easy target for all those with their own belief's, right or wrong depending on your own personal opinion.

1. I have seen many different species of animal exploited for nothing more than personal monatary gain. :twisted: 2. I have also seen many different species of animal treated very well and with the utmost of respect. :-D I prefer the second! :fc

At the end of every day we are stewards of every species of animal on this earth. We are all accountable for the treatment and care of these animals. Most of us are on this site due to our passion for our animals and those of others. How many threads do we see (just on this site) that are about a animal that someone has rescued? In a sense, I resued my Tegu. Not that the individual that had her was abusive or neglegent, I believe he simply did not know the proper way to keep this animal. Could he have learned? Certainly! But instead he chose to find a good home for the animal. That is one way to act responsibly.

It does not matter who you are, if you keep an animal and you take proper care of it then praise be you. If not, well the consequences are yours, not anyone elses. And that includes all the invaluable information that we get from this site. With an open mind I peruse this information, sometimes with disagreement (such as some things said in this very forum) non the less with an open mind, sometimes I get to correct my own thinking by realizing that I WAS WRONG.

I have heard of other sites that allow putting others down, I am glad that does not happen here. Passion sometimes is mistaken for anger, even disrespect to some degree. I do not like text as it is missing a very key ingredient in communication and that is the feel or sense of one's true intent or emotion. Text can seem harsh and often it provides illusion from the true way a person feels or see's something.

All opinions are valuable, what we do with an opinion once delivered to us is important.

I'm gonna go shovel snow now :bolt
