The external links at the bottom seem rather spammy, I'd delete them but would like a second oppinion. Also, do people actually keep roaches as pets or should that be removed? CugeltheClever 15:15, 5 October 2006 (UTC)CugeltheClever

Are their any sources that say that owning a pet may actually promote a longer and happier life? RooZ 17:56, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
- As with many things that impact health, there are numerous studies that shw different results. But in general it doea appear that pet ownership has a measurable positive difference on some aspects of health. Check out the US government's National institute of Health statement on pet ownership for a fairly good assessment of current studies. I'll add this reference to the photo caption. --Siobhan Hansa 10:25, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "objection to pets", peta and others
i don't think this section accurately reflects peta's views. the way i understand it, peta is only opposed to pet slavery and maybe usage of the word 'pet', but not to "companionship". thus, this section suggests a conflict that does not exist. am i right? Bob A 07:14, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] My changes
I've come across this article just now, and went through changing little things for the sake of grammar, tone, and accuracy. If there is anything I did incorrectly, be assured I did not do it out of malice, just stupidity (it's past my bedtime). One thing that I should mention is that I've made the spelling convention consistent to American spelling; if anyone opposes this, please speak out here so that we can come to a consensus on whether that or Oxford spelling should be used here. (I picked American because most of the article contained this, as well as for the sake of consistency; the article contained both spellings before I came along). After I get some sleep, I'll see if I feel like doing the review on this article. V-Man737 12:17, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
