Ferret!Draco and other animal issues

Hi,

 I've been reading along about people's opinions concerning
 Draco's punishment and it reminded me of a conversation
 with my 11 year old daughter, after she read this scene.

 She doesn't like Draco at all, but was outraged at this
 punishment.
 Reason? She loves all animals and thought it was not right
 to teach Draco a lesson while he was transfigured into a
 ferret.

 She thought he should have been punished as real Draco, and
 she thought Fake!Moody was going a bit far, no matter what.

 She also hated that Scabbers turned out to be Peter,
 because she loved him in the previous books, doesn't like
 the scenes where animals get turned into inanimate object,
 or objects into animals, and is probably one of the
 few who felt sorry for the basilisk.

 She wondered why Harry didn't try to talk to it at all and
 would have preferred it to stay alive and be redeemed.

 Maybe become Harry's friend and be a vegetarian ;)

 In addition to the three main character, she's very worried
 about the future of Hedwig, Pig, Crookshanks, Trevor and probably
 a few more animals I can't remember atm.
