I wondered (after reading about somebody wanting horse steaks) why do people have a problem with eating animals (like horses) that we normally consider pets? Why is it we can eat deer and turkey, but not horses and, say, parrots or canarys? My dad always tells me that Chinese chefs (in China) put dogs in their food, I don't know if thats true but the idea is very repulsive to me. Also a lady in our town ate a cat and of course she was fined for animal abuse, but I'm sure people in other countries eat cats and don't think twice. I hope you all can understand what my question is and I hope I'm not "rambling".

I need a name for my new rabbit. He is a California lop, solid colored in a light brown coat. He's very sweet and loves to toss his little wooden play blocks around. I cannot think of a name for him, though. Nothing sounds right. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I wanted to adopt a bunny from them. However, it has a companion and they didn't want to separate them. The other bunny bites and would hurt someone badly especially a child. However, I said I'd adopt them both since I have rabbit experience and would just be careful around the one that bites. Everything seemed fine until I filled out the paperwork. I mentioned I had 3 elderly cats, 2 cockatiels, and 2 young Shetland Sheepdogs. I have a large home and they are taken well care of. The cats are fixed but the dogs are not because they are show quality and we want to breed them. All have all vaccinations and we spend probably an average of $2000 a year on vet care, food, dog classes, and toys. Most importantly, they are all loved and given constant attention. I was denied because my dogs aren't "altered" even though a rabbit is a separate species. I was told if I could prove they were show dogs that I could get the rabbits but we haven't shown them yet! Isn't this wrong?

Do all cows have issues with defecating? I think some cows are so cute but I really don't think I want a pet cow with feces stuck to it all the time. Anyone ever met mini-cow breeds? There are 26 or so breeds, I wonder if they have the same poop issues. This honestly is a serious question, because I like cows but if they really are that messy I'll reconsider. Please only people familiar with farm animals reply. Thanks!

My godfather lives in a rough area in Chicago called Englewood. He has a crib thats super dirty. Theres a McDonalds bag older than me near his front window that always has bugs crawling all over it. And the bag is there everytime I go over there. Hes one of the junkiest dudes ever, and always stinks and pees on himself cuz hes old and cant hold it. I love him but its the truth. Then on top of this he has this big *** rat named Smoky that lives wit him and just roams around freely. Its not a rat he bought, its a wild rat that came in his house and never left. Hes fine wit this rat living there and doesnt do sh-t to loose it. He calls the rat dude a pet. I think it could kill him but hes not scared. Are rats dangerous?

Ok well yesterday my brother found a squirrel on the ground. He gave it food and we like watched it. We think its abandoned. But yea he lets us touch it and stuff. Also, my dad bought it some squirrel feed from Walmart and we hung it in the tree. Well today when my brother got home and we check the food to see if he ate any. He ate a lil bit. But then my brother picked it off of the tree and laid some food on the ground and it ate alot of it. But the squirrel looks just like it is sick and it walks wierd... Yesterday it was hopping everywhere but now it can barley walk. How do we care for the squirrel? O also, everytime we touch it we use a glove. But anyways What can we do to save a squirrels life?

A squirrel has taken residence in my back yard. He sits on a brick wall that separates my house from my neighbors. He does this day after day. He appears totally motionless, like he's dead. I've seen him scurrying around so I know he's not hurt. Why is he just sitting there? Or could it be a she and there's a nest I don't see with her babies in it that she's protecting? My dog hates squirrels and will probably kill it if given the chance. So now I have to be careful when my dog is relieving himself in the back yard. What is going on here?

I really want a cute little pet to love and take care of. do guinea pigs make good pets which you can hold and stroke?? I would really love a dog but I'm out at work in the day and don't want to leave it alone all day, would a guinea pig be a good alternative?? ps I'm allergic to cats so can't have them. Thanks

I was wondering if it was possible that your deceased pet could possibly make contact with you from the other side. Molly died 2 weeks ago and it would be some comfort to me if I knew she was around sometimes and if so how would I know? I had her for 11 years and I miss her so much.

So I have, well, had two cats...down to only one now. We thought when the other had to be put down the fleas would go away since he was always covered in them from being in the basement so much. Well we still have them...they're under control but I want them gone for good! This is about the 5th flea battle I've had in the past 3 years...we went a whole year without fleas and then my ex-stepmom dragged some in while I was in Texas. We've bought carpet poweders, carpet sprays, we've flea bombed honestly about 30 times now, I've tried every shampoo on her, every kind of drop out there, and the list goes on. I brush her everyday and don't find many eggs and only a few adult fleas. They seem to be under control alright, but we are moving at the end of the month. I'm so afraid of dragging fleas into our new home with us! It just seems like everything we've used just doesn't work and have even thought about shaving her...IDK...I'm stumped.

People are always dumping their dogs and cats, and they find their way to my house. I have 7 dogs of my own now. It makes me feel horrible thinking that the may be hungry or could get hit by a car. what should I do? I really can't take them in, so what would you do?

She just twitches and shakes her head to the side like she's trying to shake something off, and sometimes she starts scratching after. It almost seems like she thinks something is after her. Could she have mites or something?
