I watched a few minutes TV this evening - it was a nature programme and part of it was about the behaviour of horses. Apparently when people brush them this feels like when horses groom them with their teeth and that grooming is a sign of friendship. Apparently they only groom family and very close friends.
I have seen similar programmes where we live side by side with other animals such as dogs and cats.
Our behaviour mimics some aspect of theirs which is why we are able to connect with animals in the way we do.
I think animals are absolutely brilliant and as I get older I value the unique relationship we have with them more and more.
It is a personal choice and I am not judging others when I say that there is no way I can eat them.
Living side by side with animals is wonderful as we can learn so much from them when they live alongside us relatively freely. As soon as they are ill treated or neglected that relationship breaks down.
We can learn such a lot from animals and our lives are enhanced by knowing them.
