It's really sad - I feel most uncharitable towards ours sometimes, but also guilty. I think the whole pet thing is over-rated, unnatural and if even reasonable people get exasperated, you can imagine how animal cruelty happens
This is a very badly written post!
What I mean is, poor animals, taken from their natural lives, bred and interbred for human benefit/whim, unnaturally dependant...
...and the fleas are awful, worse for the animal but still hell for us, the clumps of fur and gritty bits are just something else to deal with/make sure the baby doesn't eat...
..aaaaaargh!
