Instant Survey: Pets
by Jeremy McCumber 
on 10.21.05
In the last survey, posted on Wednesday, we asked our readers their opinions on keeping animals in zoos. Several Treehuggers use the opportunity to express their opinions about on keeping animals as pets. These comments got us wondering what our readers think of keeping animals as pets. Some would say that whether or not you agree with the principle, man-kind has been domesticating animals for so long that there are species that simply wouldn't survive in the wild. Others would argue that it's inhumane to keep pets regardless of how the idea came to be. We'd like to know your thoughts. As always, comments are welcome below.
