People Who Relate Better to Animals
October 12th 2007 01:15
I was watching RSPCA Animal Rescue on Wednesday night and they did a story about how prisoners cannot relate to people but will respond to animals. Some of these prisoners cried when they lost animals they looked after as part of a prisoner rehabilitation program. It was an instant moment of truth as I often cry or feel sad when I see an injured animal and I love my neighbour's and friends' pets as if they were my own flesh and blood. I carry pictures of their pets around with me to look at whenever I feel stressed. Thinking about them help me chill out. The thought of deliberately hurting or neglecting an animal sickens me; I don't even like it when my friends spank their cats when they keep scratching the carpet or rummaging through the bin. I am sickened when I hear stories about people who abandon animals with no food or water.
But if something bad happened to a person affects me less emotionally. I do feel sad but not the extent I would feel if the same thing happened to an animal.
