Pets website forums: feedback please!

OK everyone, I've reviewed the list of forum ideas that people have put in, and I've tried to group them together for now into some larger buckets. The idea would be to start with the broader forum, then if we find as time goes on that there are a ton of posts on a more specific topic, we can request a new forum just the way we can now. I'd rather do that than start with 500 forums and have some of them get hardly any posts. I'd like your input on 1) are there any forums that are missing, 2) are there any of these where you feel that a forum really ought to be separated into a couple different ones, 3) are there any of these that you don't think would have enough interest on their own and should be lumped together, and 4) which ones do you feel strongly ought to remain subscribers only. For some of these forums, there will also be other databases/features/references on the same topic, I'll post about those separately as I need more input, this thread is just about the forums that we want.

Thanks!

1. Current Pets forum (this would cover general topics/chat and would remain subscribers only)

2. Prayer forum (input please: should this be separate or stay part of the current pets forum? I've heard suggestions both ways on the other thread so I'd love to hear more opinions). If we do a separate forum, I would assume subscribers only for this as well

3. Breeding

4. Choosing a pet

5. Good Samaritan forum: this would cover topics relating to pets in need, rescues, need a home, fostering, things along those lines.

6. Health (feeding/nutrition, diseases, aging, safety, exercise)

7. Natural/holistic pet care (alternative medicine, herbal remedies, raw feeding)

8. Legal issues (this is the controversial legal/political issues one--still need to figure out how to make this work without creating problems. My best guess for now would be "facts only" links about new/existing laws, with no/limited ability for discussion)

9. Training/behavior

10. Competitive pets: shows, sporting events/activities, competitions

11. Cats

12. Dogs

13. Other pet types: I need input here. There are a lot of other types of pets besides cats and dogs, but I'm not sure if there are enough people around who have them to justify their own forum, it may be better to lump some/all of them together into an "other" category. I'll toss out the possible separate forums that I would propose, if you want to see one of these happen I need to see a number of people chiming in saying they want them, otherwise we'll put them all in one for starters, but you can always request a separate forum later if there's enough interest.
13a Birds
13b Aquatic pets
13c Small animals (hamster, gerbil, rabbit, rats, etc)
13d Reptiles
13e Farm (horses, pigs, etc) Not sure if "farm" is the right word, feel free to propose alternate ideas.
