NO???  Gee, Jester often dresses in drag and does the hula while singing a
little ditty about a warthog.  'Course he *has* watched The Lion King about
62 times now...
 
Exotic pet or plain old dog... people all too frequently leap before they
look.  The "pounds" are full of cats and dogs - with dogs there seems to be
a huge problem with people who see a movie or see a "cute puppy" and rush
into ownership without ever taking 3 minutes to consider what is entailed in
owning the animal.  You have people getting their kids huge dogs (or older
folks getting huge dogs) that they expect just pop out of the damn fully
trained like Lassie.  When the dog becomes completely unmanageable, off to
the pound it goes, or perhaps worse, it is chained in the yard ingored,
dirty, unvacinated, unloved, and lucky if it receives a daily ration of poor
quality dog food, water and some form of shelter.  I've been involved with
animals all my life.  Dull everyday pet or exotic.  Domestic or wild.
Whatever... they all suffer horrible treatment at the hands of ignorent,
thoughtless people.
