BS Donal,

If you think pets are a substitute for children, you are doing YOURSELF
a disservice! Clear your Clouded Mind. Any one that has Children
without a Pet is missing a mighty big chunk of what "Organized Society"
is meant to be

Animals Pets are an example of Jesus's teaching of brotherly love in
real life; without ever sitting thru a Sermon. It is a thing in their
development not forgotten by artificial world of concrete.

Pets are a separate Branch of Our Society. I pity you, old friend, if
you think they are a substitute.
