Default Carnivorous plants that eat pets?

How sad that you have no faith in a person's ability to train their pets to
behave.

Dogs may be the morons of the pet world but they can be trained to behave
themselves.

Cats have enough sense not to go poking around into a smelly wet terrarium
full of plants.

Kids are far more likely to be the ones to mess with the terrarium.

Have you never heard of pets knocking things over and sampling the flavors
thereof? Granted a Yorkie probably couldn't do it but a German Shepperd

or
even a good sized mixed breed woud have no problem. Especially were they
playing with the resident cat. Even a cat could knock over a large heavy
object if the cat were one of the heavier ones. Not to mention a cat

could
easily climb into the terrarium (yes even with a lid on it) and there by
sample a few plants.

If the dude is growing the plants in an aquarium, how in the heck would

the
animals be able to get to them to eat them in the first place?

If only there actually were plants that could eat pets (and people), the
world would most certainly be a better place!!!


What a horrible and pessimistic thought.

harmful
if
the pet eats the plant :-) Not if the plant eats the pet.

Is this supposed to be a lame attempt at being humorous?
I really can't believe that there would be anybody out there that

naive.

There are no carnivorous plants that would be harmful to pets.

Do a google search on carnivorous plants and see the many websites

on
the
subject.

What kind of carnivorous plant are hermles to domestice house

animals
like dogs and cats. I wanted to start a venus flytrap garden in

an
aquarium and was afraid of what it may do to my cat or dog. What

if
the animals ate the plants??
Thank you VERY much
