I actually believe that our pets are more important than people because they are the true innocents. But I am a fanatic about my pets. I think you should be or you shouldn't have them. That being said, legally ,obviously you can't. I think the laws dealing with animal protection need to be changed and defending an animal should be ranked with self defense. And we need much stiffer penalties for animal abuse!
