212. Actually I'm in my late sixties, which I consider "pushing seventy." I too have been around animals

Mon Feb 10, 2014, 12:20 PM

Feb 2014

all my life, mostly dogs, cats and horses. I have also worked professionally with horses. But J.H.C. on a crutch! I just wish any comment I've ever made got half us much reaction as this one comment that I just threw out there. My daughter does websites professionally and I know how much work is involved. The greatest charm of SEE's site has been the usually obvious spontaneous quality. Where we just have to disagree: animals DO have their dignity, and just because many are sweet and loving enough to put up with all kinds of shit from their owners doesn't make it any less so. P. S. re: the lion. That big boy is thoroughly enjoying himself and he looks adorable for it! No one posed him that way and he has just as much right to have fun as does the most harmless kitten. See my point? Probably not.
