Ahahah - yeah good point
however I find it hard to believe you`ve never swatted a cat or dog in your life time - maybe its true though..
(by swatting I don`t mean closed-fisting the animal either- I mean a little slap on the bum, like what you`d do if your animal was on the coffee table eating your supper or a puppy who just chewed your new shoes type of thing)
...i don`t beat my animals....I swear....
