• Not sure about the relevance of this article. Seems strange.Bobbyboyuk 19:20, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Read the last line Famous animal lovers include Michael Jackson and Brigitte Bardot. St. Francis of Assisi is considered the patron of animal love. This would be BJAODN is it were funny, since it's not, just delete. --Bachrach44 03:02, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

• St Francis is the patron saint of animals, not sure about "animal love" though -- Astrokey44|talk 04:36, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

• Keep unless there is a better article about the same subject. There should be something about this - lots of people love animals. its a psychology subject isnt it? Also "animal lover" gets 1.6 million google hits [1] -- Astrokey44|talk 04:33, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, nonsense/bad joke Incognito 04:36, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

• I dont think it was meant as a joke. User:Pictureuploader who created it has made nearly 2000 edits to wikipedia. Could it be renamed something like Animal friendship/relationships. -- Astrokey44|talk 05:24, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

• Delete.--nixie 03:30, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep While the term may sound odd at first, a Google search does provide evidence that it is real. The subject certainly is. A film documentary of this (by the same name) also exists. --Alsayid 06:33, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
• Comment I don't know how odd or jokey this article seems to you. AFAIK Animal Friendship is an emotion and represents a significant category of people. There are societies ands clubs for animal friends. How is the thing that Brigitte Bardot and so many other people advocate, but not necessarily activistic? Shouldn't be an article for it? I don't know about other countries, but my country there is a special word for it (zoophilia). I was surprised that there was no mention to this in wikipedia, except some vague articles about animal rights and zoophilia as a pervertion... and now it's considered a candidate for deletion.
