Pet sales would be banned altogether, except for the sale of pet fish. All companion animals including dogs, cats, hamsters, mice, rats, chinchillas, guinea pigs, birds, snakes, and lizards would be considered as pets. I can't believe the pet industry would allow such legislation without a fight.

One of these things is how the retirement community regards its residents owning pets. If you’re a pet owner, you know from experience how tricky it can be finding places to live (other than buying a house) where you’re allowed to own pets. Which is what makes finding a pet-friendly retirement community so important.

Have you considered keeping goats as pets? Cats and dogs are the most popular pets, along with hamsters, rabbits and guinea pigs also being amongst the favourites. If you want a slightly unusual pet that has lots of personality and can also be petted, consider keeping a couple of goats.

Here’s what you need to know when taking your pet on a road trip. And see that your pet is wearing a collar with up-to-date ID tags. Make sure your pet is not crawling all over and distracting the driver. Some pets do well in a crate or pet carrier. Other pets enjoy being closer to the action.

Choosing the right pet for your child is key. Children can learn so many valuable lessons by caring for a pet. Having pets at a young age instills kids with a sense of confidence that they can take care of an animal and help it to live a thriving life. More importantly I find pets can be great therapy for kids.

It's just another excuse people have concocted because they like the taste of cow/pig/chicken/fish flesh. Many people support this, particularly affluent types, who have become dog and cat people and now own them as "pets." All they do thereafter is replace cows with chickens and pigs and fish. What do you think?

As a vegan, part of what I believe is that bringing animals onto this planet to use them as food or as pets isn't ethical. The concept of creating when you can adopt is the same with people and animals, yes, but desiring and creating an animal as a pet isn't exactly the same when you unpack it all.

Humans, and the rats, pigs, goats, dogs, cats, snakes, mosquitos and disease they bring with them have wiped out species after species on islands. For the wren, that advantage was taken away in 1894, when a pregnant cat escaped (Tibbles was a pet taken from the subsequent feral population). Gone forever. Perhaps.

The feral cats were thought to have arrived as pets during early European settlement and then more were introduced to control rabbits and rodents, but now they inhabit all of Australia including offshore islands and are responsible for a high percentage of native species loss. They are incredibly cunning and not easily trapped.

And I received confirmation of something I've known since 2004, when we adopted retired racing greyhound, Violet Rays: That there's sort of a critical period for dog-behavior acquisition, and if it's missed, the dog isn't likely to mature into the type of loving being whose behavior we've come to associate with "pet" dogs.

We encourage kids to gently pet baby lambs, cows, chickens and pigs, but we deny them this loving connection when we serve animals for dinner by surreptitiously calling them chops, hamburger, nuggets and bacon. There is no happy ending for even the most humanely raised animal.
