I love animals, I really do :) I find their nature lovely, even the ones that are not so social. I have had several different pets myself, including dogs, cats, birds, a horse, rodents, and even a snake. The only reason I wouldn't own a zoo is because I understand that most of them are better off without me... or us. But, I don't pass on any opportunities to be around those that are human-lovers. I strongly believe that animals have the power to influence who we are; they make us more caring, loving, understanding, more thankful in general... just make us, humans, better beings. Having said that, I really appreciate them, whether they are small or big, baby or an oldie. I love them all!
