Some humane society is cashing in on the lead recall of toys made in China. It claims that parents should buy a safer no lead included playmate for their children, It claims a puppy and kitten are the safest things. Is this a good idea or bad idea?

Well given the number of unwanted dogs and cats that are put down each year then yes, it is a good idea.

A pet will give a child companionship that a lead painted toy won't.

HOWEVER

Some kids and their parents have lead laced brains and will often end up neglecting the animal.

So i'm hoping they're also pushing the message about the responsbility involved in taking on an animal.

bad, because the puppy will maul the babes and the kitten will use the tots as scratching posts.

depends.....
babies + golden retriever puppy = good idea
babies + pitbull = you a** on the 5 o'clock news

cats and babies dont really mix cause cats dont know hoe to "play gentle" like dogs do

i might just be biased towards dogs

Nonsense. I grew up around cats and I'm perfectly normal.
