Animals & You

i ordered this and have not heard anything from the company or see any thing in the mail. Not to happy about it at the moment.

Can't boys care about animals as well? That seems kind of sexist/stereotyping to me. (I seriously doubt that Scotland Yard is going to investigate any parents letting their male offspring have access to this magazine, but still...)

Also in a previous issue where readers send in photos of their pets, I saw where a girl had sent in a photo of her pet marten, which is a cat-like relative of the weasel. The note accompanying the photo read something like: "This is my pet martin(sic)Squoodgy. Isn't he adorable?"

Umm, Okay. Maybe things are different in the UK regarding keeping martens as pets, but here in the States it requires big-time permission from wildlife officials and special licensing and all that.

And whether you need permission or not in the UK to keep a wild animal like a marten as a pet, he is still a wild animal. (The recent incident in Connecticut w/the chimpanzee viciously attacking his owner's friend can attest to that)

And one day "Squoodgy" (or whatever his name is) the Marten might take it upon his wild instincts to use his young mistress as something to sink his sharp little teeth into. Would he be so 'adorable' then?
