au..
i merely point out that your assumptions cause you to make some unsupportable assertions that could be offensive to others.
they are offensive to me.
as is your depiction of my life threatening reaction to fragrance as “allergies”…
unworthy of note after you not only brought up the allergic reactions of people to pet dander
but publicly trounced me for not being more sympathetic to people who encounter allergic triggers in public.
I find it just a touch insensitive to insist that your issue is worthy of attention but anyone else’s is insignificant.
as for your latest “argument” concerning flea prevention measures…
it’s almost impossible to escape contamination by fleas in an urban environment that includes as much natural wildlife as ours does..
and this has been an especially difficult year for fleas.
unless you believe that hapless pet owners purchase flea prevention products to preventatively stash them in cupboards …
which would of course be a total waste of some pretty big consumer dollars…
the profitability of flea preventatives on the market indicates that pet owners purchase and use a wide variety of flea preventative measures… all to your benefit.
I am not so much in favor of dogs in coffee shops myself…
there are simply too many pet owners who are as inconsiderate of their fellow citizens when it comes to where they take their pets as they are when it comes to where they take their children or how they drive or …
but assuming that the puppy you see in the window has no reason to be there and is the source of your flea bites is not likely to be a winning proposition…
did you know that rats carry fleas and our urban environment is full of them?
now .. if you would like to talk about people who brush their food trash to the floor in coffee shops and groceries attracting rodents…
i will gladly join you in condemning their behavior.
but the guy who brings his pet rat into the coffee shop with him probably gives that rat better medical care than the person standing behind you in line …
just saying…
