I sometimes get negative feedback from people when they I talk about my tarantulas. They range in from the "but why?" to "Are you crazy" to "well I'm never coming over to your house."
I tell them because I love them, they are fascinating and beautiful. One person I flat out told them they weren't invited to my house. I understand lots of people are afraid of or don't like the kinds of pets I keep. That still doesn't make it ok to be hostile. I don't want to respond just as ornery but sheesh.
Does anyone else get that kind of reactions from people? How do you respond?
