I voted:

I don't mind the zoo but wouldn't get a pet

and

I love wildlife.
 
I'm the first one. I love animals, am passionate about animal welfare (companion animals and farm animals), have 4 guinea pigs and 2 fish (all rescues) and volunteer for an animal rescue on a regular basis.
 
I love animals. I hate cruelty. Most of my animals are rescue. I don't really like zoos very much.
I even cried when a bird flew into the side of my car. Completely unavoidable as well.
 
i love all animals! I dont own any at the moment, but as a child i owned dogs (2), rabbits (30 overall), fish (zillions), hamsters (about 5), birds (4) and even ducks! lol (on a rough council esstate lol)

Id love my kids to be raised with animals, but right now, the resposibilty of 2 rugs rats is enough! lmao. (altho im seriously thinking of getting a cat... ive never had a cat before)

You sound just like me. Except instead of tortoises, gerbils and snakes, we've had guinea pigs, bearded dragons and sand skinks.

At the moment we have 2 dogs, 2 cats and 3 kittens. But the 2 cats need re-homing pretty desperately, my mum's dog is going to my dad's and the kittens are getting re-homed anyway. That just leaves me with the one dog to deal with. If i do get repossessed she'll have to go too as i cannot take her to a hostel with me.

I have never, ever not had a dog!
 
I love all animals and I love snakes etc! :D
I dont have a pet though at the min as I have 4 kids and dont have the time etc for an animal! Though when the little ones are older I will get some again! :D
 
I have a seventeen month old Rottweiler at the minute. Would love a rabbit but the dog takes up too much time, then there will be the baba!
 
I love cats but I am totally terrified of dogs. I saw my brother get attacked by a dog when we were on holiday when I was younger, been petrified ever since. I want to get a hamster but we've got 2 cats so there is no way we could get one.

Awww babes i hope that doesnt happen. Is it Molly your lurcher your keeping?
 
I love animals and really try hard to make sure meat and animal products such as eggs etc are from local british farms and free range where possible. I always have pets, I think its important for children to grow up with animals.
 
Should have said in previous post i voted for first.

I have two dogs and two cats and a mini hamster. Like Beanie i think its important for children to grow up around animals.

I buy free range eggs from up the road - taste amazing and massive! Though cant afford free range and organic meat :( wish i could as i do feel a pang of guilt when i have to buy tescos or asda cheap chickens knowing there battery ones.

we cut down on our chicken eating massively so we could just have free range. Also if you buy just the legs and thigh portions they are loads cheaper, even if free range. I will buy a large FRer for £7 - which is alot but I can easily get 3 meals out of it, roast chicken, then a curry, then a risotto.
 
i love all animals, and would have hundreds of pets if i had the space & money! :)

Really, funnily i didnt buy any actual whole chicken this week. I bought legs and thighs! (freaky) Im not sure if they were free - didnt check. Will have to look into that one to see if i can get it cheaper other then the shops - ie a butcher instead.
