        <description><![CDATA[<p>Let me tell you guys, you can perfectly say "perra" if you are refering to a dog, really, even if it can have a bad mean too. The same thing happens with the animal "cabr&oacute;n" which is the male term for goat. It's so normal when you meet a dog for a first time to ask &iquest;es un perro o una perra?</p>]]></description>
