Are you an animal lover, or do you think they're annoying?Lol! Of course animals can be annoying and frustrating, but I know it's my fault if they are.
Such as Archie, he's a horse and they're scared my very silly things sometimes, so it's annoying when they spook at nothing, but I know it's in their nature and not their fault.
But I love animals and they seriously need more respect. Humans are the lowest life forms.
Do you have favorite species, or species that scare the heck out of you? I love all animals, they're all so unique and interesting!
Spiders scare me to death though, but I don't hate them, it's not their fault. I will never have one killed for me, or even put outside if it's too cold...just moved away from me.
What animals would you like to have as a pet? A horse, for sure! Some dogs, cats...a rabbit...the usual.
But if there were no limits and the animal would behave like a pet, then I'd love a fox, hyena, tiger, lion, deer.
Or! If fantasy animals were real, I'd like an Akinigamo, one of my species ^^ You can ride them and they're great to snuggle up to.
They look like this

I love the taste of meat and I do eat it a lot, but I always spare a thought for the animal before I eat. (Much like in Avatar if you've seen it) I wish I could give up meat and I wish everyone else would give up too...but that's never going to happen.
And what about fur coats? Are those neccesary or just murder?I once watched a documentary about a tribe in Russia or somewhere like that and they killed animals for fur and meat to survive, I understand that they need to, or they'll die and they can't afford hi-tech coats to keep out the cold, as they usually make everything themselves and have little/no money. Although I hate the killing of animals, this is ok.
When it is NOT ok is when you see stupid models, prancing down the catwalk like an idiot, dragging behind the skin of a dead animal. They probably wouldn't touch a dead animal under normal circumstances, so why would they were one?
I also go to a lot of horse related things and they often have fur coats for sale there and I hate it. I'm one of the few horse riders I know around here, that doesn't go on the hunts and doesn't enjoy the slaughter of helpless creatures.
I do wear leather shoes and I do own a leather coat...but those animals (as far as I know) were used for meat aswell, unlike foxes and other animals used for fur.
I would however wear a fur coat if I knew exactly what happened to the animal and only if it died of natural causes. I'd have nothing against wearing a Snow Leopard skin if I'd come across one that'd died of old age, sickness or in a fight in the wild. I also wouldn't have anything against buying a skin from a zoo, where the animal had also died of old age/sickness. It's dead and it had a good life, it's not going to care.
