Thank you Hamid, for this thoughtful story into the effect of war on pets and domestic animals.

I originally came from England, but I had no idea that during WW2 the government told [people to kill their pets if they couldn't find somewhere to leave them. That is just horrible.

Thank you so much for your patience. As a result I have made some edits to our submission guidline pages in both Petness and Catness. Hopefully, it will now be clearer.
