Seriously though... I don't mean to single you out 005, but the "my pets are my kids" sentiment really rubs me the wrong way. It's usually opined by people that don't have kids... and I guess they must really misunderstand what having kids is like actually having (human) kids.

the above rubs me the wrong way. It's usually opined by people that don't have pets... and I guess they must misunderstand what having pets is like.

I have had (and do have) both kids and pets. Can you say the same, Warbler? And are you saying that you equate animal and human life?
