Growing up in a house that always has at least one kind of animal, sparks my interest in animals. Be it fishes, cats, dogs, terrapins, even butterflies and grasshoppers. I was most fond of dogs, and it got me interested in wanting to learn about them in depth.
Blinded by to society, it was only recently that I thought that, 'of all animals, why does the dogs seem most aquainted to humans, and could behave in ways that humans would want them to behave so easily'. Even when you compare with cats, it seems like cats still have its distinct cat-ly behaviour despite being domesticated.
So I thought, it must be what humans have done to have cause the dogs to behave in such a manner. Even to think of it, there are probably a smaller population of wild dogs as compared to domesticated dogs existing in the world today. It got me wondering, how is it possible that humans could make the dogs listen and understand them, but yet still have several dog-ly behaviour in them.
For example, we would take the babies away from their mothers as soon as they are ready to be taken away. Then, we would have to raise them just like our own little child. These puppies got to learn how to poo and pee at the right place, otherwise they would get scoldings. Interesting thing, puppies seem to actually know that they are being scolded and would actually learn from it. I could not have imagined how these little ones would be living in the wild if it were not for the humans. Their birth mother would have gotten all her little ones murdered if the puppies behaving like that in the human world, being put in the position of puppies living in the wild.
Cats on the other hand, could not care less about you. You try controlling it, but it would just run away if it decided that you are too bothersome. They only come home to you, and snuggle you for abit, and a little bit of food, and off they go exploring and searching for their own entertainment.
Birds, would probably be the worst to be kept as a pet, ever. You freggin buy the bird, and have it locked up in the cage, JUST FOR YOUR OWN EYES TO SEE! I really can't imagine the bird knowing how to fly when times of emergency arises. Not forgetting other cage kept animals that could possibly be kept as pets to humans; sugar glider, snakes, geckos, iguanas. Why do you need them, really?
I may be speaking on behalf of myself as an animal lover. To an extent that I would prefer performing an operation on humans more than on any kind of given animals.
Today, I decided to do a little YouTube-ing, and I stumbled upon a video that was talking about cuteness. He ended the video with : 'Dogs are man's best friend, because it may be man's best invention.'
MADE MY DAY!
At least I don't have to feel like a complete psycho for having that kind of thoughts literally eating my noggins. :P
