Bill,

You're kidding, right?

You really fail to see that being treated like a "beloved family pet" is NOT, in fact, the same as being acknowledged as a person with full human status?

If this distinction is truly that difficult for you to grasp, I suggest you don a flea collar and dine on a delicious can of Alpo this evening. Perhaps it would serve as a gentle reminder to you of the difference between the realities of the two.
