This rant says a whole lot more about you than it does pet lovers. Just sayin

"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the ways its animals are treated" ~ Mahatma Gandhi. IA - ever spent much time in a foreign country that treat their animals like shit? Prolly not.

OTOH, some animals are darn tasty - that can't be denied.

We animals too.

They're not humans, but they do have emotions, moods... and they are family.

Not only are they family, but they are stardust. They are golden. They are billion year old carbon. And they've got to get themselves back to the garden. No, I mean it, get back to the garden, right now! Good boy!

No worries, Booshamp, the CSNY version was more famous and better, IMHO.
