There’s such a thing as rep-tism... You know what I’m talking about. People who are otherwise very open minded, yet don’t think reptiles can be good pets. People who think that the only appropriate pets have fur. Why can they not see the value of reptiles as well? Why couldn’t I derive just as much unconditional love from my gecko, my alligator, my frog? Who’s to say that pets with scales can’t be just as rewarding to own as a cat or dog?
And who are the rept-ists to judge those who DO form lifelong relationships with their bearded dragons and their iguanas? We’re talking about rational people here. People who would never accept other isms in their life. People who would balk at racism or sexism, yet they look down their noses at people who happen to have pets that differ from theirs. I just find this unacceptable and I want it to stop. Right now. That’s it. lol Good.
