Yeah, they're not animals.

Please no.
When parsing text, I find that ". " is an unambiguous sentence ending, while "<stuff here>. <more stuff>" can be ambiguous -- maybe the '.' is part of an acronym, say, or the author might be ending DNS TLDs with '.', say. Text is much clearer with two spaces, or one wider space, after sentence-ending periods.
