Hi Maariku,

I agree, no prop can replace the soul. When you dance with a snake, it is an inter-species dance, meaning there are two souls creating a dance as a duet. So some of us might say 2 souls are better than one! :-)

"I know that it may seem hypocritical, as I really do love some of the pets and I am not even a vegetarian."

I wouldn't say it's hypocritical of you to have your feelings. Earth is a world full of paradox. The biggest paradox being that life feeds on life. Rather than hypocritical, I'd say you have defined for yourself your way of being reverent within that paradox.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
