Insomniac,
Why would you be sent to Fight Club for your post?
You're not attacking anybody personally and your post is not really offensive at all, as you're just expressing your honest opinion, and swear words have never really been censored on Lamma.com.hk.
It's OK not to like dogs, we're not "politically correct" here, as long as you're not advocating dog poisoning or something horrible like that.
But your post misses the point about the so-called "pet telepathy". It's not for the pet, it's for the owner, I think. When a pet goes crazy or behaves really badly, it's usually the problem of the owner's behaviour towards the animal, treating it in a way that's not suitable for this type of animal or s/he didn't train it the right way.
But the "pet therapist" can't tell the owner that it's mostly their fault, so a bit of hocus pocus like pretending to be able to "read a pet's mind" puts the owner at ease. At the same time she's probably figuring out what's wrong between pet and owner via standard clues like body language, tone and beahavior, so she can give advice on how to fix the behavioral problems, on BOTH sides. If it works and both sides are happy, who cares if she claims to read the pet's mind. It's harmless and can help people and their pets.

Just look at this little girl and her dog (who was just poisoned in YSW recently) for an answer...
