Tuesday: 

Tuesday:

Tuesday: oh no thats a pain! I'll have a look see if I can find any other ways for you of getting rid of them. 

Tuesday: Yes a poisoned mouse can poison the cat who eats it!

Do you have a mouse problem there?

Jim Dandy:

Jim Dandy: I can understand why you would want to clone a beloved pet.....but cloning is such dodgy ground...I disagree with anything which meddles with nature in that way

 Tuesday: thats great & that they are 'ex' fans!

Tuesday: better him getting angry with do do than the animals themselves though! But yes I agree, he needs to learn compassion

Jim Dandy: yes cleaning their 'do do' (as you so nicely put it) is what he sounds fit for

rod03801: I find it virtually impossible not to mention her character, or anyone one elses for that matter, if they are going to come on here and announce they have a chimp as a pet!

It isnt the same as just having a general conversation 'Primates as Pets' (being the topic).
I could quite easily have a discussion about primates being kept as pets, and how utterley wrong & immoral it is, yes, BUT an actual person has announced they have have a chimp as a pet.
That to me is the same as someone coming on here announcing any other type of animal abuse.

The person is at fault for that, its cruel, so that is part of the persons character!

Im am so strongly involved in animal rights as Im sure alot of you are aware. Ive made my feelings known on this now. She needs investigating by the Calafornian Authorities for the illegal inprisonment of a chimpanzee!

Im finished with this discussion!

Tigger: If you are referring to me regarding barbs, then I make no apologies as to what I have said!
I have said nothing I wouldnt say face to face. Infact it would be alot worse face to face as I would take action to get that poor defenceless chimp free & back where it belongs.....assuming the story is true!

"Snoopy": I cant believe she has the audacity to come on this board & brag 'Ive got a pet chimp'!!
What kind of person has a chimp as a PET!?

Im absolutely fuming!!!

ChillChick: Would you like to leave your address aswell so the authorities can decide if you know what youre doing? Somehow I think not!
People like you need putting in cages, see how you like it! 

ChillChick: Not only is keeping a chimp CRUEL, but where you live it is ILLEGAL too!

Asides to the cruelty & legalality issues, chimps can also be very aggressive, extremely complex & very territorial & they can carry disease communicable to humans. You have said you have a small child! Not very responsible!

My blood is boiling at the very fact you have a primate which such a close relative to humankind as a PET! Im utterly disgusted!!

Keeping a chimp as a pet IS CRUEL!!

I thought the above websites information was incredible!
Hope everyone who has a cat or a dog takes a look!

ChillChick: You have a pet chimp?!!! This is a joke right?

Jim Dandy: people like that journalist make me physically

anastasia: aww I know how excited you were about getting your puppy, now she is eventually there! Glad to hear both dogs are getting on well together 

srnity: she would be great on a farm, shes an excellent ratter!

srnity: Oh because she caters for herself sometimes, mainly mice but sometimes rats!!

srnity: Hi! Theres some great veggie dog foods for mail order on the net, or equally that site I provided gives excellent examples of food you can prepare at home for your dog. My vet recommends it too. We are all veggie in my house (apart from the cat lol)

My friends have extremely healthy vegetarian dogs....my dog was also a veggie

anastasia: Awwwwwww he is lovely!!! Loved that jumping pic!

Dont know if anyone else with animals has this problem, but I would certainly appreciate any tips you have........

Now that the weather is getting really warm flies are a nuisance! I have my cats feeding bowls near the back door of the kitchen & if my cat doesnt eat all of her food in one go (which she most often doesnt, she likes to pick) then flies come in when I have the door or window open & lay eggs in her food bowl! Yak!!!! Im forever chucking her food out & cleaning the bowl.
Is there any way of preventing this? (apart from the obvious of keeping the doors & windows shut lol)

Tuesday: Hi there my friend!
Aww that does sound upsetting!! I hate it if my cat kills anything, I know its their nature, but when she fetches a dead animal its a bit frustrating as she is so well fed. Thats the down side of cats.......but does sound like you need a good mouser cat at home right now!
Maybe you need pest control to find where the mice are breeding?

Dolittle: Glad to hear shes ok!! I found this.....hope it is of some use

Dolittle: oh dear, Im sorry to hear that.....I really hope your dog is ok!
Is there any way to deter the toads from coming into your garden?

SwirlyShirley: wow thats scary! How awful for the family to have to watch that happen, unable to do anything!

As from February 2005.....As well as fox hunting, deer-hunting and hare-coursing with dogs is now outlawed in England and Wales.

Tuesday: Yes very common just outside cities as they are losing their habitat.....Ive seen loads, yes red ones :o) beautiful!

Tuesday:
we had foxes in our garden of our last house...I bought Si some new shoes & he left them at the back door & one of the fox cubs stole one! lol
I also saw another fox cub running up the street with someones clothes, must of been off the washing line!! lol

Andre Faria:

anastasia: You weren't off topic...humans are animals, and Andre is a very fine specimen!

Andre Faria: cheeky monkey!!!

Tuesday:

nobleheart: awwww that's lovely!!

Dolittle: so glad she is ok!

Dolittle: I know how worrying and upsetting it is when our beloved pets are ill. I really hope all goes well, big hugs

WatfordFC: Hmmmmmm you know Im not too sure about that....lots of animal tests for drug use on humans is a waste of time as the animals react very differently...I think rats are similar in genetic make up which is why they are so commonly used...but even then it still takes human trials before they know for sure if the drug is safe for humans
