I am more a non-mammal, non-avian pet owner. Birds are very messy, very loud, and very finicky. Mammals smell, require mental stimulation, and shed constantly.
I prefer mammals any day over birds (I own a dog and will always have at least one by my side), but reptiles is where it's at as far as the perfect pet goes, in my opinion.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
