When I was very small we always had small animals as pets, but from the beginning I was taught to be gentle with them. My youngest niece learned from the start how to behave with dogs ... <br />It's just like teaching children anything else - start early - keep at it ... <br />Young children should always be supervised with any pets - for their own safety, as well as the animals ... <br /><br />*steps off my soap-box*Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02910097397253940158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5693432611098033127.post-61893332507261915422010-09-25T21:11:20.741-05:002010-09-25T21:11:20.741-05:00My human says that she grew up with kitties, and h...My human says that she grew up with kitties, and her parents were very firm about the right way to treat small creatures. If any pet gets abused by a child, it is 99% the parents' fault.

It infuriates me to see the total disregard the parents have for the safety and comfort of a poor animal in their prison of a house.Admiral Hestorbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12278698625281609452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5693432611098033127.post-44716810643260898242010-09-25T16:45:05.571-05:002010-09-25T16:45:05.571-05:00Bravo!

Do you happen to know how old these children were that did that to poor Snuggles?<br />Where were the parents when this was happening?<br />I think children should not be permitted to have pets until they are old enough to understand how to treat them<br />If the pet was in the home BEFORE the children then children should be taught from DAY ONE how to care for and love a pet.<br />How unfortunate and heartbeaking that this happened.<br />You are so right not to let a pets background deter someone from adopting a sweet animal.<br />Looking at that precious cat just breaks my heart.<br />Thank you for this heartwarming (as well as heartbreaking) and most NECESSARY postCat and DOG Chat With Carenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02666719374831725417noreply@blogger.com
