Pets

I can understand people wanting to keep a pet. A soft, cuddly, furry pet. Maybe a feathered pet. But anything slippery, slimy or scaly? No. A reptile is really not meant to be kept in a house in Burnley. A big, hairy spider should not be in captivity in Falmouth. These creatures ought to be in their own habitat, free of spirit and following the pattern of life that nature intended. You can’t really have a relationship with a terrapin. You can’t walk a python or throw a ball for an iguana. It’s just plain weird.
