Why We Love Animals (And You Should, Too!)

in #animals8 years ago



Why do we love animals? Why do people care so much about them? Why does every home own a pet these days? How do animals impact our life?

According to BBC-Earth article it is unclear why only humans like to own pets or in the first place love animals. Normally you would never see a donkey walking a dog with a leash, haha, that is not possible! But why do humans have this thing about them?

Thousands of years ago, our ancestors kept wolves and raised them as pets for hunting and survival.

But these days we rarely use our pets for hunting and surviving unless we still live in that old age time...

Keeping pets is a costly business especially when providing the meal health care home and toys and the time to be with the pet! its strange though they require so much effort from us we still love them so much ! when in return they do not offer anything material!


Those eyes are beautiful!!
Many reasons have been proposed for why we love animals but still not clear and sure why exactly! here are some examples taken from researches and other blogs:
"For several decades there was a prevailing view that they provided health benefits such as increased psychological well-being and could even make people live longer.
However, the evidence is contradictory. While some research has shown that pets do increase some aspects of health, more recently the opposite has also been found.
For example, research has shown that people with pets tend to have more mental health issues and suffer from increased levels of depression than non-pet owners.
Other studies suggest that the happiness of pet owners is no greater than those who do not keep a furry creature around."-http://www.bbc.com/earth/story/20150530-why-do-we-love-our-pets-so-much
Maybe its more psychological... I do not know! You could suggest some reasons and share in the comments why you like your pet! I would love to know why! thank you for your time !
But why should you love animals like me ? simply because they are so beautiful inside out and they are very cute!! look at the photos I'm sharing! these animals cannot be resisted!
