Would you stop loving your husband, wife, mother, father, brother, sister because of dumb little things like this?? If so, that's pretty sad and pathetic.

Actually, if my husband stood by for 10 minutes while two animals of any species ripped each other to shreds, I'd have a HUGE problem with that. Perhaps I'd still 'love' my husband, but I sure as hell wouldn't respect him much anymore. And I don't know if I could continue to live and be partners with someone with such little regard for other living beings.
I don't consider that pathetic at all; rather, I find apathy such as yours and your husband's to be pathetic.

Well I am not a animal advocate

I think this statement pretty much sums up you and your husband. You all aren't animal advocates. You have pets only because they give you pleasure, not for the benefit of the pet itself. And I'm sure as soon as the pet inconveniences you, then the pet will be disposed of, in some form or fashion.
To true animal advocates, though, attitudes such as yours are sickening, and the mind set you all possess is the mind set the true animal advocates are trying to change.
Obviously nothing you've read or seen on this forum has penetrated through your totally pervasive attitude about animals. That's a shame, particularly for any animal entrusted to your care. I can only hope that maybe some day you'll see the light and realize what everyone on this forum has been so up in arms about.
