I like animals just fine as long as they belong to someone else or they're on my plate. I find it very funny for an Aussie to dis Irwin like that but I think you're right. I could only stand to watch so much of that guy too. Annoying as hell.

I don't have any problem with dogs of others as long as the owners are taking proper care of them including training and they are clean and nice. There are definitely those who go too far over their pets but it's their lives so what do I care. Cats are cute and fun and cuddly until they scratch the fuck outa you, too destructive and unless they are good mousers pretty much a waste of pet food. I don't hate cats, I've had my share. No more please, and the only dog I'll ever possibly have again better taste like chicken.
