R-E-S-P-E-C-T

Apparently it's not enough to merely home, feed, water, walk and generally tend to the every need of one's furry friend. No sir-ee.

As Kate Muir noted in her Sunday Times magazine column today, the right-on PC brigade demand that our critters are afforded a level respect hitherto reserved for royalty and the mega-elite.

So for fear of offending the delicate sensibilities of our canine and feline companions, they are no longer to be classed as pets, but animal companions.

Are they soon to be awarded suffrage too?

Has the world gone mad?

These are demands made by people who've clearly never had "animal companions". Everyone who has knows that we are THEIR slaves, catering to their every whim. Boo!
