Nah.  Makes me feel continuously concerned for their welfare and safety in an inherently white-supremacist country.  Has for years.

Another BIG difference in this regard is when I refer to my immediate family I'm referring to my children and grandchildren.  All you have is 'pets'.

As for 'sanctimonious', I leave that for the self-hating, self-victimizing, Disney Channel-indoctrinated weeble-wobbles who promote "animal rights" and "veganism".
