To me my pets aren't a "collection," they are family.
Interesting point of view. I truly love every snake I own and take the best possible care for each one. Just called them my "collection" because theres quite a few of them. And by definition they are a group hence calling them my collection. Never really thought of it being impersonal, but I think you make an interesting point.
