What are the best virtual pet sites?

Neopets is time-wasting, Kenopets banned me because my worst enemy(school) reported me for no reason, Marapets spamed me, Powerpets is time-wasting, Kiropets spamed me and Fishland spamed me! Anyone? Is there any answers? Just let me know!

Insurance for the pets

I was wondering if pet insurance is a good idea. I currently have two mutts I love dearly. They are about 3 and 5 years old, but I'm concerned for the future. My last three dogs died of cancer (all within about six months of each other) and the vet bills towards the end were astronomical. (Please don't tell me to just put them down when they get sick since they are like children to me and I wouldn't expect somebody to do that to their kids.) I received something from our vet about VPI (Veterinary Pet Insurance) and I'm not sure if it would be worth it in the end. Routine care isn't covered unless you get additional coverage. I'm waiting for my online quote so I'm not sure how much it will cost. Does anybody here have some advice to offer me?

Conservationists are angry over a Bush administration

Conservationists are angry over a Bush administration proposal that would allow the importation of animals listed on the United States' endangered species list, a move they say will further cripple the species' dwindling populations.
The fate of exotic animals and their treatment at the hands of hunters, animal shows or leather-goods merchants has been raised in recent weeks after Roy Horne of Siegfried and Roy, a wildly popular Las Vegas show featuring live tigers, was critically injured when one of the animals mauled him on stage before a live audience.
