Posted by: keown at Mon Mar 3 10:15:53 2008 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by keown ] Excellent post John. I have never liked or used the term 'pets' when making reference to any reptile or amphibian that I have kept. I've been collecting and keeping such critters for over half a century and they have never been my 'pets'. I have dogs for pets. I don't even consider any of my wife's tropical fish to be 'pets'. The other animals I collect and or keep are 'specimens' or 'breeding stock', etc. I agree that we need rethink how we refer to our animals and ultimately reshape the way the public sees our animals. They are not pets. | ||
