I have already been actively involved in the fight for the protection of animals, and at that moment I heard questions and statements like these: “So many children on the street and you feed the dogs !?
“I think there’s nothing to do, do you need to have a child?!” Caring for animals is something for those in need. “These are the least aggressive phrases and I think only those who live in connection with an NGO like me, or who are independent protectors, know what I’m talking about.
- Many times I have wondered why activists are criticized so much.
- What I have noticed is that they usually come from people in difficulty.
- But with little concern for what is not related to themselves.
- They are never activists of any cause and.
- Despite the criticisms of our activity.
- They have never been people who have helped or children.
- Neither the elderly nor anyone.
- Simply looked uncomfortable.
Today animal welfare NGOs are increasingly represented in society, the new generations have become aware that you can live without eating meat and some do not use anything of animal origin, I think it is the evolving human being, if we compare the habits of our species in the Middle Ages, for example.
But where does this love come from? Yes, my love, and maybe that’s why it’s crazy. Love and madness go hand in hand (read the myth of Eros and Psyche). I don’t think I have to keep describing the immensity of my love for animals?was allowed to be loved and loved by one of them knows what I mean; Whoever hasn’t allowed the most, there’s still time. The truth is that this love can bring us healing, peace, happiness and there is nothing more free than the emotional relationship with an animal.
In addition to having already tried us as great companions, animals help with healing in hospitals, rehabilitation in horse riding centers, and show us that they can love freely, without asking for almost anything in return, except love itself. You still haven’t learned to love ending up giving up when the relationship is with a pet?as the name suggests, it is made to evaluate itself. It’s like we’re going to tell our brain, “I can love him. “the relationship with the animal, except for the pain of loss, that is why many humans prefer it, especially those who have suffered some disappointment with the human race.
For us psychologists, relationship and affection for animals only brings benefits, in general, children who grow up with pets develop relationships and communication with more skills, which has direct effects on their self-esteem, animals become faithful and confidential companions, play and play as a couple and almost enjoy with them “without limits” their owners. With their pets, children share joys and sorrows, fears, angers and disgusts, as well as their own thoughts, besides, only the very texture of animals (the fluffy fur that reminds them of that teddy bear they loved so much) is very warm.
I believe that humans and animals can benefit greatly from harmonious coexistence. The most recent studies have shown that pets have several benefits for overall well-being, psychological and social development and people’s quality of life.
Everything indicates that interaction with pets leads to physiological, psychological and social outcomes in humans; for example, people with pets have fewer doctor visits and less spending on medications; they also have lower levels of loneliness, depression and anxiety. working as social facilitators and integrating children, the elderly and people with disabilities. These are just a few of the results found in the hundreds of studies already conducted by psychologists, psychiatrists and physicians.
