They give back so much love and loyalty, (yes, I would guess reptiles do too, in their own special way). I became a rescue for chickens, because they are the most abused animal in the world. I currently have 30; 17 of them are roosters. Yes, it requires more space and work giving each roo their own territory, but it is well worth it. Each one is happy, healthy and full of spirit. Each has a name and knows their name. I also have 4 Cocketeils, 2 Lovebirds, 2 Parakeets, and 2 Zebra Finches. Most of the birds have been given to me, so you might call them rescues, as well. I also adopted 3 shelter cats. We took on a homeless kitten, and 2 small homeless dogs. We have always had an outside dog, as well. I believe it is human responsibility to provide caring dominion or guardianship of the animal kingdom. If we have pets because we own them, use them, or enjoy a sense of control over them, we have them for the wrong reasons, and their care is only a burden. Anyway, I also am proud of mine and include them as family. I have no burdens caring for so many. We do it with love and out of love. Caring for animals can really enrich your life.
