most of friends would say,of course,we are .
in recent years there are some people who often hurt their pets,they beat them viviously and then put the vedio on the internet to make fun,so sick!
I never dare to do such a sick thing in my life .
i love my pets just like I like my kid (if i will have one some day )

Yes, I am! I'm a pet lover and i really love my pets! though there are times that they become boastful, i still don't hurt them.. i couldn't afford to do that, never! you know, we should treat our pets with love and care.. just like treating our own families, relatives and kids.. they have emotions too.. when we beat them they would feel bad about it and they will stay away from you..

I love animals ever since I was a kid. In fact when I was twelve years old, I had neighbor who had an ordinary dog mixed with a blood of a German Shepard. The dogs name is "Whiskey" and I like making shortcuts out of pet names so I called him "Iskek" LOL. A few weeks gone by and the dog literally assumed that my house was his home. One day the owner of the dog was wondering where his pet went off. He start's calling his dog "Whiskey", but the dog didn't respond anymore to it's owner, so I called him with a whistle and then it's name,Iskek, Go Home!!!. I didn't think that the dog would understand because that would be first command I ever game him, but he went home. He even defends me if he sees I'm in trouble, so my mom is kinda cautious about the dogs behavior, but I love that dog. Finally the our neighbor moved to a different apartment and I never saw him again.
It saddens me to hear that people feel no remorse of doing such crimes to animals. They should be cared for. If you ask me, sometimes there's more to learn from our pets than from us. Thanks for opening this discussion should create some type of awareness. Peace out!

I love animals and I don't have pets now. I used to have and they were just like family. There are people in the world that are cruel. And it has been proved that if a person is cruel to animals they will be cruel to people.

yep. it's a well documented fact that murders, especially serial killers, almost always start out harming and killing animals.
it makes me sick to think about an animal being treated this way. i have a house full of pets, and i adore them all. i could never be mean to them.

You should always be nice to your pets, they love you no matter what, we should do the same.
