Look Emily. I have a reputation for getting into it with people but I am also very smart. i believe a member compared me to Dr. House once. I am very smart, but somtimes I come across very rude and sometimes I try to be rude to get a point across. Who was it that said that. The point is like Chris said we are hardcore passionate about what we believe. I believe all animals are entitiles to rights of some kind. You may not be the point is we will disagree we will agree. But in the end we all are a big online family.
Oh, I don't want to treat my cat's easily treated condition because he's OLD."
"Oh, I just want him to die peacefully at home"- Cat with oral cancer eating away his mandible and going up into his eye.
"She's getting my couch dirty and I want to euthanise her"- cat was obese and owner wouldn't put on a diet.
"Yeah, he's gotten kinda skinny but he's old." -- George. Go look at the thread and the pictures I posted.
People not caring about the suffering their animals are going through, or wanting to kill them for spurious reasons is absolutely anathema to my calling. It enrages me because any living thing deserves respect. My snakes are here for my pleasure, yes. But I have a responsibility to them. There's an old saying that you can judge how a society treats its people by how it treats its animals.
There is a very big difference between a beloved pet and a property destroying deer. I am not saying your stance about PETS is wrong, but c'mon, do you HONESTLY think that a property destroying deer or animal in general is at the same level as a household pet?
I would never call you smarter than dr. house. Usually there is no intelligence or underlayed comedy in your posts, just plain and pure RUDENESS.

When you kill the animals who are destroying your property, do you at least *try* for clean kills rather than wounding them so they run off and slowly either bleed to death or die from septicemia?
If you at least try, then you are showing them some degree of respect. I am fortunate to live in an area not inhabited by dear, but that IS inhabited by raccoons and skunks. I tend to try to avoid them when possible because they are not directly a nuisance to me. Away from people, in their proper habitats, they are useful creatures. So I have no problem with you protecting your property so long as you aren't taking belly shots so the animal takes days and days to die.
I think the forum gods have decreed that since YOU made a response to a GBCW thread, yes, it can be panda time.![]()
