How Do You Think Animals Really Feel About Humans? |
|
In general. You think they hate us?
Not being an animal I don't really know, but I'd say yeah - I bet all animals hate humans. I'm not talking fear. I'm sure all animals fear humans. Hell, humans fear other humans.
But species-wide, from ocean to air, do you think all the animals in the world hate us?

3. The same way people feel about me! |
|
Either they don't care or they hate with great passion. They would never love us.
If they knew how we were destroying their environment just so a few white men could have more money, they'd definitely react though. Far more so than most humans who hate the "greedophiles". (that's their new term, please spread it around!!)

4. I think they want us to give them food |
|
Or scratch behind their ears. I don't know how complicated it gets for them really.

8. I think they're laughing at us |
|
behind our backs.
They don't envy us one bit. They know they have the upper hand. They're just waiting us out.

9. Many love us very much. And we love them. |
|
Talking here about dogs and cats. Others don't know "hate." So, no. We are the only ones that hate. Depressing, but true.

12. I think you're right. |
|
Most animals aren't too interested in humans. Oh, they'll run or hide if they have to - or attack if they're forced to - but by and large they just want to attend to the things they're interested in.
If you've ever watched a bird, even one that you put some food out for, the little fellow is more interested in the seeds. Which, perhaps, helps put human-kind into some perspective.
I do think that animals are willing to like us, even to be fond of us - but, all too often, we aren't particularly nice to them. At best we ignore them, and at worst...well, let's not go there.

11. I think love and hate are complex abstractions |
|
and animals do not have the cerebral gymnastics to articulate them.
I know that they affiliate with us in some cases as though we are packs, warrens, -family. And I believe they're capable of fear, anger, suspicion, loyalty, contentment, friendship, trust and deep affection.

13. I know my cats love me.... |
|
cuz they keep crawling up on me and purring. One nurses on my earlobe and gets upset if I move away.
My newest kitten comes running when I call her and is hardly ever more than 3 feet away from me.
I know, I know.... it's prolly cuz I know where their food is kept, but I like to believe they're fond of me ;)

14. The dolphins and manta rays have not lost hope |
|
Overall, wild dolphins and manta rays still like hanging out with humans.
Most other wild animals see humans either as potential threats, potential sources of food, or annoyances. But the dolphins and the rays...I think they sense some potential in humanity, though damned if I can see it from here.
