The definition of "pet" states nothing towards the fact that it HAS to have emotions, AND IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING HAS BUILT IN INSTINCTUAL REACTIONS TO THE ENVIRONMENT. The "definition" of pet that you and some others are so set on, is the REAL misconception here. You have made up a definition where none exists! I agree that reptiles aren't the same as cats, or dogs, but they DO fall under the same category of pets. MANY people have posted the definition of "pet" on this thread, and yet you still refuse to believe it! What, is every dictionary wrong??? A PET IS AN ANIMAL KEPT FOR AMUSEMENT OR COMPANIONSHIP. I typed that in bold so you can SEE it this time! Point out anywhere where it says that an animal NEEDS to have emotions to be considered a pet! Come on! You need a better defense than "i'm right and you're wrong, because i said so!". Start stating FACTS to support your theory, instead of trying to warp the definition of a word to support your own theory!!! Sorry, but this entire thing is dragging on for a while, and to be clear, i was the last one to start getting rude, and i haven't progressed to insults yet, which is more than i can say for one poster.
