I agree.  Pets are pets.  They are not human and should not be left alone
w/ small children.  Infact to be honest some humans are not safe around
children.  We need responsible pet owners instead of ignorant people that
get a pet because it's "cute, cuddly & adorable." or "just to be cool, to
impress people etc." It really angers me to hear stories about "killer
ferrets" "killer rottweilers & pit bulls" and the list goes on.  Animals in
captivity only do what they are taught, sorta like kids.  It's a shame that
idiot people who don't take care of there animals or teach there animals to
be deadly give good people like us bad names as well as that species of
animal.
