Too many of us? And still have space and food for 2 pets/family? If there would be too many of us, there won;t be space and food for pets. It would be so costly that only the super rich would have pets. If there'd be too many of us, all resources and energy and brains would be directed to support those 'too many'. But look how many we spend in entertainment. In all body care. tourism. The day there'd be too many of us. water would cost as much as a gasoline. Air would be charged. Driving through a bright lit day surrounded by green trees for 100s of Km -like I do here while on holidays- would cost you a bundle. But because there are TOO LESS of us lots of natural goods are free of charge. There is a huge surplus of everything. Enough for us to spend on entertainment. Tourism. Hobbies and pets!

M, Not everyone is a dog person :O) And these are definitely not doggies for you unless you are... but they know their place in the pack and that is reinforced as a matter of course in our daily lives... I have far greater fear my 6 year old could get shot at school than harmed by one of my dogs... Actually they are extremely protective.. sometimes annoyingly so... When my 12 year old became a latch key kid I was greatly mollified by the miracle of cellular technology which allows us to stay in touch while she is travelling ... and once home.. she has two bodyguards.. We also get very few annoying solicitations at the door anymore... They are not vicious, but a bit feral which is not the same thing.. Too many dogs today are so dumbed down in instincts that they are more like furniture than companions.. We are always careful with new visitors.. Also we have two cats (they love it outdoors and are always returning with treats for us... as in mice and birds... the occasional snake or mole..) they get on fine with the doggies... although when the doggies get rambunctious the cats look on in disgust and go off somewhere else :o) Al
