Could we act a little more like animals please?

We always talk about being human and all the good and bad things about it.... this post is to inspire people to act like animals. A strange concept I know, we generally view humans as the more intelligent and more evolved being.... These videos call that into question.

... the first video is VERY hard to watch, but it is important.

The case Against Humans: Don't blame the dog.

(yes there was a typo (there = their) move on, haha)

I am VERY anti breed discrimination, which means I believe there is not such thing as a bad breed of dog (note the word "dog" not "dog/wolf hybrid"... they aren't meant to be pets in my eyes).

Instead I believe there are breeds commonly owned by BAD OWNERS. Yep, I said it!

I believe breeds like Pitbulls, Rottweilers, and Cane Corsos get a bad rep because the people that choose to own them are often inexperienced, unintelligent about the breed and its temperament/needs, and get the animal because it is an accessory, much like a car or a ring. These people don't see the dog as a being with feelings, but instead as an object for them to use, sell, and dispose of as they see fit. I believe these things lead them to do stupid things with the dog, like train it to fight, be aggressive, etc and cause these people to breed dogs incorrectly, which leads to inbreeding and/or the passing on of genetics not beneficial to the breed.

Again, good dog, stupid owners. You don't have to agree, it's an opinion (even if it is generally right...)

This is the Story of Patrick.

While this story consists of a few humans, the bad owner, the good savior, and all the people rallying behind this little guy,  I have one point to make. Patrick wouldn't have needed a miracle if his owner had been a good one. Major props to all the people who are doing the right thing out there... get well soon little Patrick and all the Patricks out there.


So my thought? Let's take a lesson from animals (our "less evolved" brethren) and act a bit more like animals. Now you must be thinking "has she gone off her rocker?" and yes, maybe I have tilted a little too far but here's the deal. Animals get it right and bellow is a perfect example.

The Case for acting more like an Animal: "The odd couple"


Are all humans bad? Absolutely not. I work with plenty of people who have it right and do what they can to make the world a better place. I'm just saying sometimes there is some steep competition from the "jerk" side of the population against our cause. I believe there is redemption available to everyone. I believe a "dumb owner" can be educated and become a great owner. I believe a "bad" dog can be rehabilitated. Can all of them? No. Is there hope? Yes.

I challenge you today to take a lesson from these videos (hopefully a positive one), and act like an animal. Love unconditionally, see past obvious differences, and show someone a little kindness, even if they haven't done a thing to deserve it.
