Wasn't trying to bash you or get down on you in anyway, Cinder and I sincerely hope it didn't come across as such. In line with what you said, it comes down in large part to personal experience and what each individual is comfortable with, as well as what's best for the animals and what their comfort/health level is.

Just don't want to step on anyone's toes or offend anyone and it's hard to tell tone, etc. via computer and text sometimes, so anyway...
