address HCE thousands of years, man has discovered an animal that had surprised him as an organizational system very similar to human societies. This animal, the wolf, could be very useful to man, both in how they live with the rest of wolves, as in his way of hunting, foraging, saving, and more. No one knows quite how, but this animal pups went to a tribe, and found that children adapted quickly. So these puppies grew along with the children of the tribe, and from there was born a hybrid society, a society in which the animal and the man were together and complemented each other. Over the years, it was discovered that besides being useful at home and with children, animals, and domesticated and even now with the name of dog that we know today, could also, through an intense training be useful and specialize in many other tasks. So the man subjected to this training and it helped, thanks to genetics, to develop more each skill that the dog showing, so the race came, the work of man and selection breeding of individuals that have better developed the skill. The first domestic dogs, therefore, had very specific jobs, whether for grazing, hunting or guardians of the tribe. But above all and from the beginning, the main activity of the dog was to accompany the man. Therefore it is said that man's best friend is the dog (upside down, not so much) since it has always accompanied faithfully. In his book
Observe your dog, Desmond Morris says, and perhaps rightly, that the contract signed by dogs and men many years ago, 99 percent of the time is broken by man. We all know that some dogs, apparently for no reason, attack the people. In the word "apparently" lies the mystery but the answer usually attack dogs always have some reason to do so, but we men, we are unable to discover what it is. Backwards, as I said, not so much. Sometimes dogs attack man, and is much more difficult to find a real reason.
I know people who do not like dogs. One which just happens to them. And everyone has their reasons, or not to do and I understand. Those who have no reason, according to the way I see it is those who abuse and assault. These people and I remain suspicious even in the deal to other people. I find it easy to imagine the person who hits, abuses or abandons a dog, those torturers of animals, bullying his family, skipping the traffic laws, and being cruel to their peers, even those who want. It is these people who do not understand. Because not everyone has to like a dog or a cat, but not like to leave it tied to a tree to die of hunger and I eat the bugs, there is a yawning chasm.
several days ago he wanted to write about it, first because I read the book by Desmond Morris, and then because I had the occurrence of me around the site of the Humane Society, the place where it came Bioy. There's horror stories of abuse and neglect of dogs and what continues to impress even more is the attitude of the dogs, always faithful and loving even with his tormentor. I read, for example, the story of a dog that its owner left it was going to live in France. The dog does not want to leave the house, still there, waiting for his master. Have tried to take him to a shelter, some people it takes to eat, but the dog does not eat, just wait. Or the history that happened in the past Easter holiday, in which a family returning from vacation crashed and died. The dog, who was in the car, waited for their masters, they never return. No one noticed He and the dog walked back to his house and sat back to wait. And it is that dogs are not only taught to those men, our ancestors, a useful form of organization within the meaning of hunting and getting food, but also a way to coexist with others on the basis of solidarity and affection. Wolves are known, for example, help females to feed the puppies, or their caregivers while the female goes in search of food. Whole herd, not just the father, takes charge of small members. These examples are much more human than some in which the protagonists are we men.
And as a person mistreat or torture or abandons an animal, I find it really suspicious about his dealings with humans, so sometimes I've caught being prejudiced to people to discover their humanity through their dealings with animals. One day I hopped in a taxi, I think the English Hospital in Ave National Army, to the Angeles del Pedregal. For some reason I had to go by taxi, a hurry to arrive, and though I usually get on site taxis and the driver noticing, this time without noticing I got a lot, and get on I discovered a man with a pint of offender I really cared. I even thought about telling my descent was before, and so take another taxi. Those who Mexico City know understand why so much distrust. The fact is that we were going down the highway, when at the height of constituents, the traffic had stopped. What was our surprise to discover the cause: in the fast lane, a kitten was scared stiff, unable to go forward or backward. The cars all they could do was get around it, but it was a matter of minutes that the cat died between the wheels of any less cautious or less sympathetic. So my taxi driver stopped in the middle peripheral put flashing lights, got out of the car, picked her up the kitten and began to stop traffic to cross the two lane and the lane missing lateral up to the sidewalk. There, he walked a few steps, until you see the cat does not recede back to the street and placed it gently on a planter. Returning, the man almost cried, said he could not let it die. The rest of the way we did the two to tears, as I told the story of her son, who was sick a long time, I think for a motorcycle accident in the hospital and next was another man with his son, also very serious. I think in the end the son of one of the two men no longer remember which one died, and I do not remember having to do this story with the cat, but had something to do, I say.
It took several days to decide to write all this, I already had planned, but yesterday came the news on television that perplexed us: in 2004, a veterinarian Aguiño, the town where we went on vacation, in Galicia, filmed a neighbor who beat him to a dog. It was claimed as evidence, the man was sentenced to pay a fine for animal abuse, because apparently that was not the only dog \u200b\u200bthat was abused. The scenes are terrible, the man beating the dog with a tube and the dog, a huge German shepherd, does not make any hint of defense or attack, just crying to the rain that falls on sticks. The veterinarian has become to sue this man, because now makes life impossible, he sprayed petrol her house and poisoned a dog. What is surprising in the case, and why the news came out yesterday is that the townspeople of Aguiño not only defends the ancien abuser, but also applauded him while the vet had to leave, escorted by the police for amount of boos and threats from neighbors. The old man says they are all lies, where we can all see in the video hitting the dog. After seeing that, it begins to fail to amaze me that there are people who burn the hills of Galicia. Are the same as hitting the dogs, or at least, are of the same ilk.
