Do you think BJ should have put humans in Redwall?

No because if a human happened to kill a furry animal PETA would call it animal cruelty.  ;)

Yes, being a Pug, I entirely agree with you, unless they give you nice, yummy treats!

Humans would ruin the Redwall world.  They would trash it up, and make everything modernized.  One thing that I love about the stories is the "Medieval Time Air" and feel about it.  The animals have no guns, electricity, cars, or machines.  This means all of the work the must do must be man- (or should I say creature) made, which means that you can really feel pride in an object that made entirely, without the help of a machine.

My thoughts exactly!

I can do that because I'm awesome.

Redwall with humans would just make it another medieval story. But with the animals, it becomes something entirely new and different.

    I completely agree with this statement. I've never been one to enjoy the ordinary stories and I'm the only one out of my friends who HATES reading stories about normal people doing normal things and highschool drama. I can't stand those stories! I live that life, why would I want to read about it?!
    But with Redwall, it isn't just a common medieval story either. The medieval period is where most of my favorite stories are but even then, reading with people gets boring. I dunno, I guess it's just because I enjoy reading about completely different worlds!
    So finding a book series like Redwall or Mistmantle Chronicles or even Guardians of Ga'Hoole that completely changes everything and gives you something new to read, it's great!
And I'll stop rambling. XD

That's one of the reasons why I love so many of those kinds of books.  It could be about animals, like Redwall, or human-like creatures, like LOTR, but I still love to read them.

Redwall doesn't really give a hugely different world since the animals do use many human-like objects (swords, brooms, kitchens, beds, etc.). Stories like Watership Down and The Duncton Chronicles with more realistic animals, although they do talk to each other, tend to give a world that's more different.
