The way i see it, they're in my house, under my care, they wouldn't be alive without me, therefore they are my pets. More importantly, who cares what you call them, as long as you're safe!
Agreed. I think the basic train of thought is to differentiate between pets ie dogs, cats hamster what have you and hots to the lay person. At least my opinion is that it's good to help people understand that these are potentially dangerous and not to be taken lightly. You can keep horses or pigs in your care. That doesn't mean they are pets.
