paroapockinroo Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 This is super interesting IMO. Are animals existential spiritual guides full of symbolic power and meaning or just another tool we've learned to manipulate to control our world? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ieono Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 (edited) I would never keep a pet purely as a friend substitute or anything like that, but I'd get a good hunting/guard dog, though! I was raised on a farm, so all our animals had "practical" purposes. That's what I'm used to. Edited March 14, 2016 by Ieono Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I guess the video mostly covered it from an aspect of having a pet just for fun or for show so that it would end up being relateable to the viewers though I interpreted it more from your standpoint as well. I grew up training, riding, and taking care of horses so for me they encompassed having a mutual relationship and an understanding of language with an animal. I'm not saying people who just go out and buy a dog or cat can't end up feeling that way too, but it's all just incorporates different levels of... "connection" I guess.

Zaraphayx Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Keeping a pet as a friend substitute is a practical purpose. Particularly if you are an unlikable nerd that other humans can't stand to be around. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
