Hi, weasel. Thanks for your suggestion. Just so you know where I'm coming from: I'm a science writer. I enjoy the biological diversity of the animal kingdom. I like wolverines and badgers as well as ferrets, otters and skunks, and I think most people are intelligent enough to recognize that those animals are different. Some species make good companion animals while others do not. I'm into educating people about science. I generally find that if people want more information, they'll ask for it.
