Am I not allowed to be offended? How the hell can you not find it weird to be offering "condolences" after somebodies pet has died?

Because they've just lost a pet and a pet is a member of the family too. I am not saying animals are the same as humans, all I'm saying is, they become part of the family in that they are loved and cared for and they leave a gap when they die. Therefore owners tend to grieve. And condolences are what I offer when someone is grieving, be it for a person or a pet.

So animals are part of the family, but not like humans... Good one!

You are entitled to your thoughts but your reply is insensitive and unnecessary.

Pets give many people companionship, unconditional love etc and their passing leaves as much of a gap and heartbreak as losing a family member. In fact they are family!

No they are not human beings. In some cases they are better!!

so very true..i have no family as such,and my dogs fill the bill!!i also prefer a lot of animals to humans..............

Exactly. Animals are part of the family but they are not the same as humans. You've got it!

No matter what is was this is such a shame that people have things in there gardens that can poison animals.

we actually have a bottle of antifreeze left outside on the step.
Its in a spray bottle but maybe the local cats might lick it.

will hang it up.

Such a sad time for you all.

Yes he's been sent to the naughty step! As you said ett23 there is no excuse for being rude.
Surely an intelligent person can make their point without resorting to this?!

I don't understand why people get suspended for having an opinion ain't that what forums are all about, i'm not saying i agree and not saying i don't agree cause i'd rather not get involved but what is it with the org is it one rule for one person and a different rule for another, it is unbelievable when people report others because they have an opinion it is a forum come on people.

**Liz** · 31-Jan-09, 23:58

No one gets suspended for having an opinion. However, there are boundaries to how that opinion is put across and quite right to.

There are too many orgers who just post to antagonise and make mischief rather than actually contribute.

dont think it has anything to do with opinions, but how they word it.

Well if that is what he was doing then fair enough it just doesn't look that bad to me that's all, not saying i agree with his opinion as i do have a pet cat of my own and certainly wouldn't like it if that happened to him but just looks like he had an opinion to me that's all.

I don't think thats why he was suspended. The post he was suspended for has been removed. The post I made in response to it has been removed aswell.
