People, Pets, and Peeves

People, Pets, and Peeves


Most Americans love pets. In fact, according to Frappa Stout, a writer in USAWeekend Magazine, states: “They've (pets) moved from the back yard to the bedroom, and 84% of American pet owners consider them part of the family.” Here is a great idea: people should be eliminated, and let pets rule the world.

The aforementioned magazine states: “Americans spend about $28 billion a year on their four-legged friends, and that's not all food and veterinary care. The pet product industry is exploding, and more than half of all owners regularly buy gifts for their pets .” $28 B. Sure, the starvation in Africa, and destitution in any third world country would not matter, as long as the important and vital pet would have its exorbitant pedigree. Many should realize that when one country would spend this much on pets, then, it is just reasonable to make an ultimate sacrifice: people should be eliminated, and let pets rule the world.

Becker, author of “The Healing Power of Pets,” opines: “The pet gives you unconditional love, limitless affection and to-die-for loyalty. So you spoil them worse than grandkids." This is the absolute truth. It is just reasonable to spoil the pets. The edict of society seems to be changing. The ultimate sacrifice (mentioned above) may come. Therefore, it would be futile to have the grandkids spoiled because they might have no memory of it. It is a slippery slope to opine that pets can provide unconditional love and limitless affection Putting emphasis on “unconditional,” if one would spend that much on pets, pets would justify the monetary compensation by just giving attention. But in the changing edict of society, people would seem to be secondary to pets (its ok for people in third world countries to starve as long as one country spend the 28 B).Just like in business, people are replaceable and expendable. Hence, the timing for the sacrifice might be right. People should be eliminated, and let pets rule the world.

Therefore, love the pets. Soon enough, pets can replace people and it will be their time for world domination.
