Yes, I have animals. But I care about animals *as* animals, not as canvases for anthropomorphism and sentimentality. I do not imagine them to be little people as you apparently do. (Seeing as you suggest not only that I should "feel for" them, but that I should expect *other people* to "feel for" my animals as well. I would not expect any such thing as I do not labour under the delusion that animals have the sort of human-type thought processes which would enable me to empathise with them, or indeed they with me.)
More importantly to this particular case, I do not insist on bringing animals that have been selectively bred and then submitted to intensive training as attack animals into a domestic setting, because that would be a really stupid and dangerous thing to do.
