Lynn It is obvious that proffessionals have no idea what poverty, lonliness and isolation to people. Pets are not the answer though they can TEMORARILY relieve thoughts of suicide when one has something else to take care of. This is a temporary solution, as the cause of the deppresion has not been addressed. Human contact, company, love, friends, financial security are what people in deppression need, not something to pet and feed. My friend suffered from deppresion for years, the abuse of her childhood, never ending poverty, lack of money to seek the help that she needed. She had many plants and a cat................we were to far away to be of much assistance to her. All people need love and support and human contact just to know that there is someone who can talk to them with words is much more important. Only an unenlightened mind would suggest to people like these that they do not have the right to dignity, respect not to be given a pet that cannot talk back or take care of them when they fall. Many old people cannot afford to stay on an antideppressant which is a sad fact that euthinasia is a better alternative then the endless pain, lonliness and isolation of deppression. 6/30/2007
