And we will all be less than perfect until we come together to teach the
masses who think puppies are like Easter bunnnies and chicks who are fun for
a while but then grow to be burdon and unwelcomed pets. If all the animal
welfare and animal rights (I had a hard time saying that) groups got
together and ran TV ads on how responsible pet owners should treat their
animals...I think it would do more good than anyone could imagine.
