Here’s the deal
Sarasal thanks me for the clarification, and writes:
As employment and housing opportunities are virtually nonexistent for some of us labeled as mentally ill, not because we don’t want to work, but because employers don’t have to hire us using ADA Essential Functions to legally stigmatize us and mortgage companies don’t have to give us homeowners insurance, thus many of us are forced to go on disability (which is hard for us to get because while legally disabled we are in fact able bodied and find not working to be depressing), and then if we have homes at all, live in section 8 housing where pets aren’t allowed. Thus any post that implies the “mentally ill” torture animals puts my basset hound and Siamese cats at risk, though I know you didn’t mean to do so.
We can’t forget this is the reality for so many people. Good to be reminded sometimes, Sarasal.

That is a very cute smooshy basset hound. My Ernest is of course slightly cuter, but still, thanks.
