Parts are understandable, the annoyance with the proliferation of support critters is is shared when it is an animal that causes issues, the rest seems like it was tossed together like a drunken midnight snack.

Nope. And I'll go a step further. Again, it's just an attitude from someone (me) that seems steeped in the past. It may piss people off, create outrage but it's push back to the pussification of US society that's been going on for 4 decades. It's a very minor point in the relentless "Progressive Agenda". It involve your pets. In my life, I've owned several dogs, cats, gerbils, whatever. I'm just dumbfounded at the attitude that these animals are "family". I get the relationship- you feed it, take care of it, it gives you pleasure. Dogs are really hard to ignore. But, I just don't get the outpouring of grief when a pet dies. Let me get this straight- you got a puppy when you were 18. Your life expectancy is another 60-70 years (dogs- maybe 10), so you know you are going to have multiple dogs/ cats in your lifetime. So, what's the point of getting so emotionally involved in one pet when you know the end game. I've never understood.

I'd kill someone over my dogs quicker than I would over most people.

Most fellow humans cant give me the unconditional love and companionship without the conditions, baggage, and betrayal that a pet does. The more I interact with the general public, the better I like my dogs.
