pets

i truly endorse the continued domestication of animals. the varied mishaps that grace the news, such as the people mauled by chimpanzees or bears, mandrills or whatever unconventional pet they've managed to corral, are truly remarkable in their breadth and scope. consider that just 10,000 years ago, there were only wolves, and none of the many breeds of dogs we know today... seriously, a miniature pinscher is the blood relative of a wolf.
