This week for her Miss Metaverse Manners column, Iris Ophelia takes on the Do's and Don'ts of virtual pets. They've become so popular in Second Life that Linden Lab is practically promoting the world as a pet-raising sim, while breeds like the Meeros are so beloved, people are hiring pet sitters to take care of them. Which also means there's going to be many etiquette and ethics questions around those pets. What do you say if your SL BFF starts spending more time with her Meero than, well, you? What if your friends don't seem to care for your pet? Ask an etiquete and ethics of question of your own: Post anonymously post your thorny etiquette and ethics questions on Iris' Formspring account!
