QUACK!!!!!
We've got a dog, so will need to see how she'd get on. Have read quite a few people saying they have ducks with other pets and they get on fine. Still, would only take a moment of the old doggy predator insticts kicking in.
I'm not sure about "potty training". They don't have the right equipment apparantly. Just go when they gots to go!
As for Vegie.
I don't eat meat. I do eat eggs and milk, cheese etc...
I try to avoid gelatine and such.
I don't eat sea food - fish, crab, etc...
I don't really care what deinition or whatever it fits into. It's not about meeting criteria to carry the badge. That's what *I* choose to eat and not eat.
People go vegie for different reasons. For me it's a combination of not believing it's really necessary to kill animals for food. I've got by quite happily for about 9 years or so now.
But aswell as the animal itself, it's about ME. I find the idea of putting a dead animal in my mouth a little off putting now. Some people say they still get tempted or such. But after a while even the smell gets a bit unpleasent (for me at least). Sometimes something might smell ok, but it's a lump of dead animal. I'd rather not.
People say "well, we're top of the food chain etc..". Well, if I HAD to eat an animal to survive, I would! If I was stranded on a desert Island I'd eat any other people stranded too If I had too

But, like I said, there's plenty of alternatives out there.
So it's about the cruelty, health, and about me.
I think there's a bit of suede on my trainers btw.
