[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After Katrina the federal state and local emergency management services all learned that shelters for people to be safe from storms, and the transport to them, had to accommodate pets. Many many people died in Katrina because they refused to abandon beloved pets to the storm. The fact is that many millions of Americans rely on a pet for their sole source of unconditional love even when they may be surrounded by family - [b]pets are much kinder to us than our fellow humans[/b] and some peoples families really, really suck.

This is a hard world and having a pet is a salve to the soul. Dog owners also happen to be a bit healthier because dogs get us out and sometimes even get us moving. Dogs are proof that god loves us and wants us to be happy.[/quote]

See this is the problem.  An animal relies for its survival on you, so of course it is going to respond to you in that way.  It is not being "kind."  This is the emotional immaturity that we are talking about.  Hiding behind the "love" provided by animals with instincts, instead of doing the difficult work of relationships with humans. [/quote]

No, dogs are kind. Maybe not all of them, and maybe it's not "kindness" per se, but they do have some sense of justice, and it's not only for the people who care for them.

My ex's dog protected me from him when he hit me. He bit the man who had fed and housed him for more then ten years to protect a near stranger.

My dog, all seven pounds of her, will go flying across the park to confront a dog who is humping or bullying another dog.

I have seen an entire park full of dogs line the fence barking at a dog who was about to come in, because that dog had been aggressive in the past.

They're not as simple as we think. [/quote]
