I will try to make this my positive post...
Devia has always been a MCH. To be recorded for all to see, her most trusted companion was Katana, a lovely BE'ed Gurrek who watched her back and fought along side of her all of her days. Her Rancor, Forte... who was her ever watchful guardian. Her Kimo, Kimono... the gentle giant until Devia was threatened... Her Gulama, Starlight... who was the first pet she ever tamed, and the only one she ever really wanted to be able to saddle and ride around... Her Mamoth Jax, Inego... her Leviasquall, Deviasquall... They were her family... they were her children... she has been sent to the cloner more than once, protecting their lives... they would do no less for her...
... so many faces... so many friends... all gone... with the wave of a hand... 
Sorry this was supposed to be a positive post....
I believe that someone made reference to this poem, so I'll share it now with everyone..
The Rainbow Bridge
Just this side of heaven lies the Rainbow Bridge.
When a beloved pet dies, it goes to the Rainbow Bridge. It makes friends with other animals and frolics over rolling hills and peaceful, lush meadows of green.
Our pets do not thirst or hunger. The old and sick are made young once more; the maimed and the ill become healed and strong. They are as healthy and playful as we remember them in days gone by.
Though happy and content, they still miss someone very special, someone they had to leave behind.
Together, the animals chase and play, but the day comes when a pet will suddenly stop and look into the distance... bright eyes intent, eager body quivering. Suddenly recognizing you, your pet bounds quickly across the green fields and into your embrace. You celebrate in joyous reunion. You will never again separate. Happy tears and kisses are warm and plenty; your hands caress the face you missed. You look once more into the loving eyes of your pet and know you never really parted. You realize that though out of sight, your love has been remembered.
And now, you cross the Rainbow Bridge together...

I share your feelings on this and thank you for the poem. Anyone who has been a CH for fair length of time builds a bond with there pet family to the point where we almost prefer to hunt with them then with other players most of the time. are pets protect us , watch over us , help us loyally to the end . when are steps terry and faulter a mounted pet will take on the burden of our weight to its own, to ease our passage through the worlds of SWG. To take them away from us is to tear and rip off a peice of ourselves. without them we are just a fraction of a whole. With out them enriching our lives , our lives in the SWG hold no more meaning , for the dawn of CH is comming before us as fast as falcons wings, so i say on to you all live now while you can for so we shall parrish, enjoy your summer time for winter is almost here. Twlight has almost reached us, when the dark of night falls on use fellow CH we will be but ink on a page , of stories and ledgon passed down through the ranks of Jedi and Bounty hunters the true children of SWG (or so SOE sees it ) But like our pets we are loyal to SWG, and like them also when they are gone so shall we.

I'm pleased to see that most of the posts on this forum have been very literate and hardly negative at all... kudos to the rest of my fellow Creature Handlers...
