It's really not entirely about me wanting to win the pet, sure it would be nice, but it's more about honesty. If someone really means what he/she said in his/her application or has an amazing reason, then then he/she is obviously the deserving winner and I definitely be the first one to congratulate the winner!
@Leo: Indeed, but with so much sucking up, it's very very hard to see who means it and who doesn't.
