I’m debating whether I should say what I want to say since it might make an Ayin Hora…ok – here goes:
I’m really, really impressed with the way everyone here is stating their opinion so respectively, without attacking anyone because they don’t agree (as is the case in many other threads…). Let’s keep it up!
why does it seem that a lot of Frum people (especially in the bp area) are terrified of cats and dogs?
We once had this discussion and what we decided was that ppl are afraid of things they’re not used to. Since the majority of the frum population does not own a cat or dog (for the many reasons stated above) many frum yidden are afraid of these pets. Personally, I LOVE all animals (except for insects) and am usually not afraid of them!
