Tuesday: I know how much you love your dogs & care for them well

Tuesday: no need to be rude Tuesday...this is a disscussion board so we can all post :)

My apologies - kind of sounded like you didn't realize how dangerous that was for an animal to do

Tuesday: I'm sorry - didn't mean to offend you Life's too short

A Polar Owl sits in an open-air cage at the "Royev Ruchey" zoo in the Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk November 6, 2007.

 srnity: Looks like a Snowy Owl to me! Ive never heard of a Polar Owl? But yes, great pics!

Ewe: Maybe they are one and the same? I would love to see one

Tuesday: don't try to dress up anything on your opininons hun,thats what makes us all different,and having different opinions is what makes a good discussion.sometimes we all need to step back and take a deep breath,lol

srnity: Yes maybe although I have never heard the Snowy Owl referred to as a Polar Owl before....I even had to check up to see if there was another species

Mousetrap:  good friends

"aNiMaL": That's cheating - that's a "rat" - everybody's nice to them, they'll bite you

srnity:  Nah.  Had lots of rats in my kindergarten class.  never bitten but pooped on many times. 

Rats can be very cool! I at one time, had 4 rats as pets, 2 hooded, one brown, one beige. At the same time that I had these rats I also had 6 cats residing in the house. When it was time to clean the rat cage we would take them out of their really big cage ( a converted jewlery display case) and put them on the couch. While we cleaned their cage out the cats would come around sniffing. Each cat would slowly crawl up to the couch to sniff the rats one at a time.. when the rats got curious and came up to sniff a cats face the cats would dart away terrified. We though it was hilarous! as much as they were curious they were afraid of the rats. Never once did they try to pounce or eat. Too cute. I miss the rats. The down side to owning rodents, they dont last very long so u end up with tears and heartache very soon after getting used to them!

Rose:  My favorite rat was named after my wife.    She approved.  She never crapped on me.  And she'd sit on my shoulder all the time and just sit there as I taught.  The kids were so good to her.  During playtime, they got to hold her and she never messed on anyone.  I was very sad when she died.  I had many rats after her but she was totally the best.  I have a picture of the two of us but I look like such a geek I doubt I'll ever show it.

*** This guy says "Thank You"

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

srnity: HAPPY THANKSGIVING, I wonder what percentage of animal lovers are vegans?
or,if there is a conflict of interest present if an animal lover also loves meat

Jim Dandy:  No conflict here.  Some animals I love on my lap, others my plate  ;)  Happy Thanksgiving!

Jim Dandy: Hi I am an animal lover, I am also a vegetarian. I chose to go veggie because I wanted to opt out of the meat industry & the all of the cruely aspects surrounding it.
Also I could not kill or prepare an animal myself so why have some one else do my dirty work?
I love the taste of meat though....from what I remember, such a long time ago now since Ive eaten any, probably about 20 years! I remember craving it for a couple of years after first becoming veggie but never now.

Animal: I agree,I think we avoid eating animals we interact with,and I can't remember ever playing with a cow or pig.

Ewe: I admire your restraint,it's more difficult if you actually enjoyed eating meat prior.I can tell you that the taste of mass marketed meat has been on the decline for years.

Ewe:  I eat mostly fish or chicken.  But the wife has me eating lots of veggie meals too.  She's not a vegitarian but often she won't eat the meat.  So since she's the cook, I eat what I'm told. 

Jim Dandy: that restraint was only at first & partly habit etc. Once I was fully weened from meat mentally it has been incredibly easy. Weird aswell, because the longer you dont eat meat for the more repulsed you become by the sheer thought of eating it. I found this common with a majority of veggie folk Ive chatted with.
Yes & you saying about the taste in mass produced meat being in decline, I have heard that alot....I think more people who eat red meat are turning to organic, small farming methods for better taste etc.

 so,for those of you that know about it,my dogs' trials are this weekend...TODAY is his day to take the field..OMG! I am REALLY getting nervous..my stomach is knoting up!
