You know…I’ve rescued animals for decades now…and I’ve never known one to be cruel or neglectful towards humans no matter how poorly it had been treated or cared for. Never have I seen a cat leave a human to survive on its own dealing with parasites, disease, and never-ending pregnancies all while expected to provide for its own food and shelter.

Not one horse have I known expected a human to live in a small pen standing in their own filth year after year and with absolutely no shelter from the bitter cold and snow or blazing hot sun and inadequate food and water.

Having dealt with hundreds of dogs, not one of them chained a human up leaving them exposed to the elements with crappy food (have you checked what you’re feeding your dog…if it is loaded with corn and wheat, maybe you should feed it to a cow), and periodic water (yes, animals become dehydrated in cold weather as well as summer). Nor have I seen a dog chain a human and allow, as my cousin says, “any male who happens to wander by” to rape her.

Perhaps we should learn some lessons from the creatures over which we’ve been given dominion.
