[Linus]

The allergy thing I can understand since some people may suffer from extreme reactions (asthma) so that I can understand and would respect. But the idea of germs and such... Quite honestly, I feel like society has gone overboard on the germ thing. We've gotten to the point where our bodies don't know how to react when faced with new germs and such.

If I find places that are extremely against pets in the store, I won't frequent them at all and will find those that do (even being puppy-less at this point). Compassion towards those who cannot speak directly to us means compassion for all of us.
