Respecting The Soul And Mind Of A Pet

 

Yup, pets have friends too, and being members of your family, you have to comply with their wishes for visits, food, etc. Otherwise, you would be a cruel and no-good pet-parent with a total lack of empathy.

Are they friends like humans may be friends? I suppose they are, at least in some sense of the word, but who knows for sure? Nobody, but if these weird birds strike up a friendship like humans do, it may be of great value in the continued fight for the preservation of the penguin colony. Anyway, to see such animals, who are so utterly different in looks and behavior, living together in peace and harmony, makes one think good and emphatic thoughts about both humans and animals. 

I saw a documentary about pets which were left all by themselves somewhere after their owners just took off, leaving them to fend for themselves. It was heart-breaking, as it was obvious, that the animals were scared and devastated by being abandoned like that. So very unfair to someone who was led to think of him-/herself as a member of a human family, only to be treated like garbage. There is no doubt that animals have minds to think and remember, to mourn a loss, to love and to feel happiness. They are individuals who should be respected, and not being used as expendable toys.
