...The cat
After visiting my friend in DC this weekend, and seeing him take care of his pathetic, but very cute kitten, Churchill (shown above), I thought to myself, what is the point of pets??
I mean, if we really think about it, we are not really shaping the future of humanity or the future of the world by brining these cuddly creatures into our homes. I'm not a hater, definitely not, I have a dog at home who I would die for, but if we really get to the core of the idea... what is the point??
When did this whole phenomenon of "pets" start? Definitely an ecological process that has domesticated these animals to be as timid and sheltered as well... humans. Where would they be without the millions of loving homes scattered across the country, and around the world? Wouldn't they be in danger?!?! Well, my thought is probably not.
Sorry pet lovers, but I'm sure they'd be okay out in the wild. After all, they poop in the wild, they sleep on the floor and have no quarrels about the weather. Seems to me like it would be an easy transition.
