Patrika952 I used to be a big city girl. My husband and I moved out to the country about 5 years ago, and for the first few months I would spend hours outside at night in amazement at how many stars there were in the sky. All these years I thought there were just 5, LOL,...

Animal Experimentation.. Is it right?

allentcl82 @allentcl82 (590) • Singapore 20 Feb 09

All of us know, for centuries, we as human have been experimenting with animals.. For understanding more on animals themselves, and to test substances to see whether they are harmful to the animals. (All of us know the term,...

Patrika952 First of all, I am an animal lover. I think there is nothing more satisfying than getting close to animals in their natural habitat...disclaimer, dont pet the bears. Seriously though, animals are wonderful in nature, but without animal testing, what would we...

Patrika952 We are really lucky now, as we have only a few bills. Our house, my husbands truck, phone, internet, propane, utilities are all covered by my husbands job. So we just have our car, my phone, and satalite bills. Trying to eat healthy takes up quite a chunk,...

Abortion, should it be permitted?

allentcl82 @allentcl82 (590) • Singapore 18 Feb 09

Should abortion be permitted at all? I brought up this topic as i was doing a search when a friend of mine have the thought of aborting her child in her womb. Of course, i went into a debating issue with her.. What surprises me...

Patrika952 I firmly believe that abortion should remain legal and the woman's decision, with the exception of underage girls. In no way shape or form should an abortion be performed on a 16 year old girl without the parents consent. I think as a woman, you and only you...

Patrika952 This is what feeding time looked like at one time. There were 10 at one time, and that is not a number I am proud of, as I am all for spaying/neutering to control the pet population. All have found good homes now, except for the littlest ones who are not old...

jands1 @jands1 (835) • United States 18 Feb 09

Our Burmese Python, Bump, is a "rescue snake". Her previous owner was going to have her put down because of the injury she had. That was well over seven years ago and she has done wonderfully. Getting worried because Bump...

Patrika952 I have not owned a Burmese, but I have had snakes for many years. It is not too terrible uncommon for snakes to go off feed. The very first thing you need to look into is your husbandry practices, such as heating and humidity being the top 2 issues. Also,...

What is the meaning of your cat's name ?

elitess @elitess (5070) • Ipswich, England 10 Feb 09

My first cat's name was Speedy, as we was somewhat like Speedy Gonzales, always running around even when he got older. When my mom called him to get his food, he used to get to the kitchen in 3 seconds tops no matter where he was...

Patrika952 How much time do you have? LOL! I will try to keep it short. We moved in this house a few years ago and found a cat living in the work shop. He quickly became adopted and moved into the house but the name Shop Kitty has stuck ever since. Last year, I found a...

Patrika952 Are you sure your cat is not sick? Cats may occasionally pee on something when they are really mad, but it should not be on a regular basis. Sometime, if they are sick, urinary tract infection is the first thing to come to mind, they will stop using the litter...

Patrika952 Its not the magazine, they are not afraid of being hit. Especially if neither of them has been hit in the past. It is simply the unexpected noise, it snapped them out of the play zone. They stopped and looked at you to try to figure out what the heck was that....

Would you let your dog kiss you...

agrant10 @agrant10 (1476) • United States 19 Feb 09

We all love our animals and do not know how we could possibly live without them. Yes, your dog can be your best friend, but would you allow your dog to lick you on your mouth?

Patrika952 I would never let a dog lick me on the face! My husky is a neurotic licker, and I am trying to break this habit but it is not working. She will, if you let her, lick your hands, pants, arms, anything she can. Anyone know how to stop this?

Have you seen CAMELS SPITTING??

Lindery @Lindery (853) • Latvia 19 Feb 09

People say that camels spit. I have never seen it with my own eyes. I only have seen camels in the zoo for 5-6 times in my life but never seen them spitting. What makes them spit and do they actually do it similar to us -...

Patrika952 I have never actually seen a camel spit, but I believe that they expel stomach contents that are not digested yet. They are kind of like cows who chew their cud...I believe, someone correct me if I am wrong. But, my father used to work in a zoo, and one day...
