The HSUS believes that ferrets should not be bred for commercial purposes or sold in retail pet stores. Therefore, Ferrets can be adopted and can not shop (“Is a Ferret Right for You? ”, n.d.). Ferrets are very much different from other pets like cats and dogs.

    Jeremy Rifkin in the article " A Change of Heart about Animals" argues on the fact that as incredible as it sounds, many of our fellow creatures as like us in so many ways. For example, in a movie named Paulie a young girl that suffers autism gets attached to a parrot. The girl struggles to talk but she just can't. Time passes by and then the girl starts talking because the parrot helped her. An incident happened so the little girl's parents decide to let the parrot go. The parrot ends up in an animal testing lab but somehow he managed to escape. The parrot begins to miss his owner because he formed a bond with a human being. Obviously, this proves Rifkin is right when he states that animals experience feelings like human beings.

  • Burkhard Bilger's The Last Meow

    578 Words  | 2 Pages

    Have you ever wondered how much it costs to have and maintain a pet? Burkhard Bilger, the author of “The Last Meow”, explains how Americans spend a lot of money on their pets and that people's “love affair” with their pets has gotten out of control. An observation I have made is that in many movies dogs are treated very well. When I was younger, I watched a movie called Bratz and one character would always have her dog inside a dog purse and they would even get manicures and pedicures together. The dog always had shiny clothes on and it was always very clean. Therefore, I agree with Bilger's argument that Americans “love affair” with their pets has gotten out of control.

  • First Friend Case Study

    1396 Words  | 3 Pages

    First Friend: A History of Dogs and Humans, by Katherine Rogers, articulates the history of the relationship between dogs and humans. Wild Justice: The Moral Lives of Animals, by Marc Bekoff and Jessica Pierce, investigates if and how dogs exhibit morality. In both texts, anecdotes and observations are used to portray instances of dogs displaying cooperation, empathy, altruism, and, by extension, morality. Consequently, it stands to reason that dogs have a capacity for sociality, but how can the sociality of dogs be described? A dog’s capacity for sociality is the ability to form long term relationships with members of the same or other species. Dogs, in particular, dogs who hunt as well as dogs who play, are able to form long term relationships with humans and other dogs through trust, love,

  • Lispector's The Buffalo

    1044 Words  | 3 Pages

    The short story “The Buffalo” by Clarice Lispector shows us some important things about animal anthropomorphism. Firstly, the attribution of human emotions to animals allows us to more easily empathize with them. Through this, we are able to create intimate bonds with our pets and other animals. Since language figures so heavily into our understanding of empathy, several researchers, such as Hockett and Tomasello, have spent years investigating animal communication and how it relates to human language. Anthropomorphism, while it causes problems such as the devalorization of animal emotions and misattribution, also affords us the opportunity to learn more about ourselves, through the reflection of our own emotions. In this sense, anthropomorphizing animals can be a very useful tool for us, just as it was for the woman in “The Buffalo.”

    But like an exception to every stereotype, my experience with a human –animal relationship is also an exception. When I was twelve, I received a pair of kittens as my birthday gift. I was never an animal lover so I wasn’t too excited to receive it. But as the days went by, spending time with them developed a soft corner for them. Unlike dogs, with cats it’s more of a give and take relationship. You have to spend time with them and show them you care for them to be able to reciprocate the same care and concern for you. The more time I spent with them, the more founder and inseparable I grew of them.

    Research has been done in the area of human-animal companionship and security, and stress management. Due to the relative newness of this field and the difficulties in studying it, most research has been concentrated on the elderly, specifically, institutionalized elderly. Pets have been introduced into these settings in order to minimize the negative consequences of institutionalization. Most research has been conducted on the extreme ends of the continuum, either very brief visitation or therapy of resident pets studies (Wrinkler 216).

  • Essay On Interpersonal Circumplex

    755 Words  | 2 Pages

    The goal of the study was to determine personality characteristics of pets and to use the circumplex model to assess human-animal bonds. The results confirm that self-identified dog and cat people seek complementarity with their pets. However, results were insignificant between the interaction with ideal pet and the level of complementarity. It appears that the greatest predictor for human-animal attachment is the correspondence between the needs of the owner and the interpersonal characteristics of their pet (Woodward & Bauer, 2007).

  • Animal Representation Steve Baker Essay

    1436 Words  | 3 Pages

    Steve Baker argues that animal could only be considered and understood through its representation. According to him, the question of representation is not to deny particular animal’s “reality,” in the sense of that animal’s actual experience or circumstances, instead, representations have a bearing on shaping that reality and this reality again can be addressed only by representation. Animal representations may indirectly reveal something about how a culture regards and treats animals (xvii). This is important, as in our study; we also believe that the point of view is an element of representation that is based on the cultural experiences of a director/filmmaker. Baker in this context says that “...it is (images of animals) reality constructed

  • What Does It Mean To Be The Perfect Pebble?

    Life is a mysterious, constant twist of emotion, which makes me wonder how others deal with the hardships of it. I've always been fascinated by people's daily lives and how they go about living, but what strikes as even more intriguing: the life and emotions of animals. Many do not believe that animals can administer emotion, that they are just brainless existence of matter, which seem to live. Most of the naive to this thought classify animals as things we cannot communicate with, which we have no better understanding of the way they function, none above ourselves. Our own human brains defeat us with untold, impossible understandings of the world we live on, the universe it resides in.
