I'm one of those people that doesn't think anyone should get rid of their pets because their "significant other" doesn't like it (or them). Hey, our pets represent
what we love & value, so if someone doesn't respect & understand that, they don't belong in our life, and for me, it's not the pets that are going anywhere. If
you got rid of a pet you cared about to please a partner, then what else would they want you to change for them?
Keeping them safe to the best of our ability is another part of that, & it's not unusual to be learning new or better techniques...we do that because we care, so
that's a big area to disagree on, especially as they relate to health & safety.
