POST 5: ANIMALS AND PETS

I’ve considered myself an animal lover all my life, since I was little I used to dream about becoming a vet and spend my life surround of animals. I usually find myself thinking that animals are many times more kind than humans.

In fact, I’ve been vegetarian for around five years now, just because I can’t stand the fact that poor animals had to be kill for me to eat them, that it’s so mean.

I love all types of animals, I particularly love cats, fishes and axolotls, this last one it’s a very exotic animal from Mexico that I’ve met at the Zoo and immediately felt in love with.

I’ve had many pets in my life, and I’ve loved every one of them. Now days, I’ve a Cat his name it’s Julio :)

Julio has been living with me for around three years now. I and my girlfriend met Julio one night at the street in downtown; it was love at first sight.

Even though Julio was really skinny, dirty, and acted like a rough street cat when we met him, he has become a nice and cute domestic cat; he just needed some love and care to get better.

About the use of animals for human’s progress, I completely disagree. I think that the use of animals it’s most of the times unnecessary and cruel, many industries use animals when they could use technology to test their products, like the cosmetic industry.

I know that many people don’t feel about animals like I do, but I just can understand why would someone think that the skin of some other living being would look pretty on them? In fact i think fur coats are the ugliest thing ever.

I’ve never been bitten by anything but a spider, but I know that dogs and other animals might be very dangerous when they are keep in not right conditions.

About that I don’t think that the right solution it’s to banned or muzzled a dog or another animal, I think it could be a much better solution to created rules that sentence the people that don’t take care of their pet properly, like the rules that exist do in New Zealand.

Finally, If I could choose what to be in my next life, i would rather to be any animal that a human be, especially I would like to be a little bird to fly all over the world and sing the most beautiful song ever.
