baby blanket and animals

I love all animals. Live without animals would be absolutely strange and in a way sad. But this is pretty obvious as everything would be distorted. We would not be able to eat meat which is so important. Anyway, I think that everyone should have an animal or a pet in his or her house. I do not necessarily mean that you should have a jungle in your house because that is not the point. You obviously can if all the animals you have in your house are kept there legally, and most importantly, if you can take care of them well. I cannot understand people who buy many animals but they end up harming them because they simply cannot take care of them well. Same thing goes with people who are not very responsible and cannot even take care of little dogs or cats. Having a pet should evoke a feeling of responsibility in your head and thus, you should do everything in your power to take care of that animal. If you cannot take care of your animal, how will you take care of your baby? Speaking of babies... I have a baby whose baby blanket was torn to pieces the other day by my lovely dog. My wife wanted to punish the dog for destroying the baby blanket but I did not let her to do that. We should never punish animals, at least not with the use of force. You can do it verbally, but not by shouting at them like a madman. Remember, no baby blanket will ever be that important as to shout at your animal.
