sorry for the rant. It infuriates me. No apology necessary! It often seems to me that people's medical treatment of their pets is about fear of losing their companionship rather than what may be in the animals' own best interests. I have an elderly rescue cat who requires twice daily injections of ...

I agree that "immoral" is probably the wrong word to use, but I couldn't think of anything more appropriate... It makes me feel very uncomfortable... This just doesn't sit right with me... That's the sort of language I prefer to use these days! And I agree with you to some extent. Though I'm not co...

Animals belong in the wild? What about domesticated animals? (I don't think there's a lot of mileage in saying they "shouldn't" have been domesticated in the first place.)

I have an elderly rescue cat who requires twice daily injections of insulin.

Hundovir

It's Esperanto for "Dogman" (well, "Hundoviro" would be in full.) I rather like dogs, have spent time working in rescue kennels, and often dog-sit Pip the Doberman, the hound in my avatar.

As I am single and working I have never had a dog of my own as it wouldn't be fair. One day...

However, I found it unreferenced on teh Web and I'm not convinced that Einstein is responsible for all the quotes attributed to him...
