Reply #39: Really?

You're certainly entitled to feel that way, lizzy. But I do disagree. It's ok that we agree to disagree, though.

A pet's death is an unfortunate aspect of life that we deal with. Bigotry and discrimination is also a part of our society, but it's my belief that our society might be better without it. As such, I think it would be a positive opportunity to share with children how unfair, hurtful and unnecessary it really is. With adults, it's often too late--starting when their children, they are still open to being taught something.

On edit--I'm not sure how one would liken the opportunity to teach future generations how bigotry is wrong to teaching a kid about death by killing their dog,...but ok. That's your example.

Again, this is all my opinion and you are within your rights to disagree. I'm a bit confused by your hostility and assertions that I'm merely trying to hurt children unncessarily. You don't seem to share the opinion that the examples I've shared are relevant or in any way justified. That's ok, too.

I hope that we can agree, to disagree. I'm certainly no expert. Merely expressing my opinions based on my experiences with discrimination and bigotry.
