Question by alex: How do animals pose a health or safety concern?
I’m writing a big report to one of the schools I want to go to to try and get some sort of pro-pet policy in place in their residence housing. Under their policies, it says pets aren’t allowed due to health and safety concerns (specifically because in residential housing you’re living in close quarters). What are some arguments for and against this you can think of?
Best answer:
Answer by lyla
health: lots and lots of people are allergic to pets! many are allergic to dogs & cats, but i know someone who’s allergic to guinea pigs!
safety: any pet can be a safety concern. a dog that “turns on” someone and “attacks”, a cat who scratches or bites, etc.
for: animals can be a great stress relief. especially because college is so hectic, animals can be great therapy.

valentine for lover not for pets
give happiness others who need help and love
When I looked in your eyes I knew it was true,
My heart never lies I was in love with you,
As you stood there just looking around,
My whole Body Melted into the ground,
I Remember the Day, I Remember the Time,
I Remember the Place, It’s always on my Mind.

Some cool Pet Safety images:
Rockstar, The Excellent Cat
Image by -RobW-
I described meeting The Excellent Cat here, when he followed me to work one day. He is an extremely pretty cat, this photo isn’t that good really, but he wouldn’t stay still.
Spotted him again today cosying up a grafitti dog, but he had moved on before I managed to get out there annoyingly!
As I was immortalising him in digital splendour, a child came up on a razor scooter, and said that it was his cat. He said this with a slight "what are you doing with my cat, weirdo?" look, but that was probably just me overinterpreting.
The Excellent Cat’s name is Rockstar, which is an Excellent Name. My brain cut in some safety circuits and stopped my mouth asking the dumb question "does he live near here?" which would probably have got me an irate-parent-led lynch mob in today’s climate.
All Hail Excellent Cat!

Oliver has taken to wearing his new blue collar like a champ, and slept in his new cat bed all afternoon. I can’t believe how well-behaved this kitty is – J and I keep waiting for the ball to drop. So far, so good.
