The most spectacular animal of all, Alex the African Grey Parrot.

Crows! Anyone familiar with learning theory should appreciate these beauties.

I have not owned my own dog- my parents are not animal people and I do not have the time right now. I spend most of my time with them, however, through work. I have also had the pleasure of training...
Totally right. I don't think the balance is easily maintained.
Because hunters are often untrained/ not good shots and do not kill humanely.
Agreed! The goal of course is not to...
Eating meat does not necessarily go against those tenants. I believe that an animal should have all of its physiological and behavioural needs met, and experience a pain-free death. It is very...
(I suspect I'm about to be called a hypocrite :wink5: That's usually what comes next)
I am not.
(I could write pages in response to this question)
Justification depends entirely on your individual concern. Mine is animal welfare, meaning that I believe that all animals should live a life as free as possible from pain, stress, fear, frustration,...
Welcome back, pretty lady :)
Happy Birthday Pensy!
Except that in many cases, those jobs are preferentially going to go to candidates with a degree. And generally, it takes more than just a few good pieces of work to be hired as a freelancer- people...

After that, I'd move on to The Mayor of Casterbridge. Far From the Madding Crowd...

I HATE glasses in the rain and wind because they got water drops and dust and whatnot on them. Then you need windshield wipers. Ugh.
I'll do as I please.
I do! Though I go through phases where I either wear glasses all the time, or contacts all the time.
I can't really see past about 6 inches away from my face, so if I was ever glasses-less, I...
I think Anna Karenina fits both definitions...
One of my fish is sick :( Poor little lady.
I will never, ever stop fighting the battle of becoming like my father. We are very much alike in mannerisms and personality traits, but I always remain very conscious of how these traits manifest...
I had a collection of over 60 model horses. Every single one had a name, its own blanket, saddle, and bridle (a lot of which I made myself), and a back story. They lived in two huge rows of shoe-box...
I love all of these things. Seriously. I love buying gifts for my loved ones. Thinking about how long I've known them, and all the stuff we've done together, and what they like, and how I can most...
