Friday Comment Forum: Dog, Cat, and Rat?

Here’s the Friday open comments post, and it’s something different. I’ve embedded a video of a man who has a pet dog, cat, and rat, each of whom is happy in the company of the other two. He has a message behind all this: the hope that different kinds of people can get along.

No elite, no guiding hand, no message from a high tower — all that’s unnecessary, and often destructive, to creativity in a free society. He didn’t need to fit in, echo a message, or fall in line — there’s no merit in any of that, anyway.

He came up with the idea on his own, and that’s the strength, beauty, and charm of liberty: a common man or woman with an idea, and the ability to express it. Along the way, he’s making other people happy.

Want to see the libertarian hope for America? Men and women like this are our hope (whatever their own politics may be — that doesn’t matter).

I’ve added a poll, as a new part of the comments post, based on a suggestion; readers can comment through the poll on the text box below.

Today’s suggested topic — Have you ever had a combination of pets like this — different ones that coexist happily?

I once had a hamster-cat combination that coexisted happily indeed.

The use of pseudonyms and anonymous postings is, of course, fine. Although the comments template has a space for a name, email address, and website, those who want to leave a field blank can do so. Comments will be moderated, against profanity or trolls.

Otherwise, have at it.

I’ll keep the post open through Sunday afternoon.

Guess snake and rat would fall under the only briefly answer 🙂

animals in zoos that are predators can live together in the same habitat if they all get fed. they won’t eat each other if they have a steady diet from the zookeepers
