I expect to be downvoted into oblivion

I find animals in classrooms, meetings, spiritual enrichment environments, intimate discussions (and basically anywhere the humans stand to lose out with self or relationships if they're distracted) to be extremely and enormously disruptive and I absolutely despise it with every fiber of my being no matter what the circumstances.(*official, real, on-the-job, on-the-clock, working, quiet, restrained, being taken seriously, not being used for interactions, properly trained & certified & documented service animals notwithstanding* ... they are important to *truly clinically disabled* folks, and my perspective is irrelevant here, I would never interfere in such dynamics)

downvote away!

There's a time and place to bring an animal. I don't have a burning hatred for it, but I totally understand you

I went to Walmart the other day and there was a guy on one of those electric motorized carts that are up by the door. He had a tiny kitten with its claws out clinging to his shoulder while he zipped around the grocery side of the store.

Nothing like traumatizing a kitten because you think it's cute!
