Mostly Animals
Sunday, September 11th, 2011
Do animals really have a good time, or do they live a life of mostly stress?
Just imagining the life of any random non-human, be it a roach or a rottweiler.
Is the life of a typical animal filled mostly with survival related stress, is it mostly pleasure, or neither?
We would like to think that animals don’t experience too much pain in their daily lives – but based on research (we can’t ask them!), is their life mostly stress?
What do you think?
Being an animal in the wild must be pretty stressful. That’s why wild dogs and cats live shorter lives than domesticated ones. They have to worry about being eaten, getting into fights, where to find food, a safe place to sleep, ect. Imagine if that was Your Life. I have pet fish, and I do my best to make sure they have a stress-free life
