My new sports jacket is very brightly orange.



Also, I walked 5K in 1:05 h -- personal best. Must be the very, very familiar route to the old castle by the river Rhine that I often walk with my mum. She kept the time, and I just walked.-

Yes my father loved animals and we used to bring home all the strays -- puppies, kittens, birds, kids, you name it. :D

He once caught a loose horse and put it in the back yard until the police came to take it away.

My brother did Search and Rescue dogs in the military.

People who don't like animals, or have none in their lives, or even are scared of all of them, don't know what they're missing.

It is natural that mankind should not be alone. Other creatures keep us grounded, and give us an appreciation for the manifold beauty of evolution/creation (which to me are basically the same).

The more I see of my fellow man, the more I love my dog/cat/horse.

It's not either/or. It's good to like people AND critters. But only ever people is boring, in any case.

No, I agree. But I can feel anger and frustration with people. I could never feel those towards an animal.
