Ranger Shouts?

I have two questions.

1) Do Ranger shouts stack, by that I mean can you have multiple shouts helping you pet at once, or are they like stances and preperations where you only get one at a time?

2) With the Ranger shouts does "Animal Companions" include summoned minions from the Necro Death Magic line?

1) the calls do not replace eachother. they stack to a certain degree. http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...56&postcount=6

2) minions are not considered animal companions. they are still considered creatures and allies, however.

From what I've read.

1) They stack but identical effects do not stack.
