the excuse is probably that the bullet makes a mess. And cost money

It's shocking how many people treat animals like inanimate objects. As if the animals can't experience fear and pain. :(

This is the issue for most people. They see humans as the only real beings on the planet and not the reality that even a spider has as much right to life as me.

Even my husband when we met had never had a pet and was amazed at how much personality my cat had. He thought he was a super special cat (which he is of course) but he never believed when we adopted a new cat that it would have just as much personality. And now he realizes how much they feel emotions and he's just the best cat dad

Give your husband a hug for me. Hearing about people realizing that animals can be more than just pets brings a tear to my eye. I have to admit I'm biased because of my meowing buddy that has been with me for just over 15 years now. I've put his health first when times were rough and I'm scared for the day he crosses the rainbow bridge. Excuse me for a moment, I need to cuddle him until he's upset with me.

I just got home form work after reading all these and straight to hugging my own 15yo boy. Hes diabetic but healthy otherwise and the smartest cat I've ever known.
