My grandparents raised cows, pigs, and chickens, and I grew up riding a horse every chance I got. I used to catch tadpoles and watch them change into frogs; I've kept fish, crayfish, tarantulas, rabbits, birds, cats, dogs, snakes, praying manti, rats, and more. I was a tomboy. I even kept a bat once for a few days, though he was obviously unhappy so I let him go. I've seen plenty to suggest that animals have the same spirit and experience things the same way we do.

As a (lacto) vegetarian I notice I do tend to crave fat if I neglect my intake of it. I like to use a lot of butter, ghee, wheat germ oil, and olive oil in my diet. But as someone else pointed out earlier, we are pretty off-topic now. I see that Mike has kindly provided an off-topic list too, think I'll have to subscribe to that one as well. :) Cheers, indi -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
