Original article Why do people love their pets?

A brief review of the evidence that people have a strong attachment to pets, such as pets as safe supplies and people receiving care, before deciding the characteristics of this relationship. From an evolutionary point of view, pet owners will cause problems, theoretically because investing in resources and investing will lower the health of other species. Three questions about trying to manage pets and the issues of these points were discussed. Pet feeding is placed in the context of other types of interspecific associations. Thus, another Darwin explanation is proposed: Pets are seen as manipulation of human reactions that have evolved to promote human relations. I will explain in detail the precise mechanism by which a pet can be taken care of from humans. They are characterized by features that provide an initial appeal such as new features and that they achieve sustained satisfaction by interacting with pets such as psychological processes due to human living organisms To the features that make it possible. In some cases, these mechanisms allow pet owners to obtain more satisfaction from pet relationships than humans, because they provide unconditional relationships that do not normally exist in relationships with other humans I will. .

I appreciate useful comments from Robin Dunbar on the manuscript and valuable help from Norman Birbeck in literature search. I also appreciate the comment of the editor and the two referees who influenced some of the discussion in this article.

Some of the reasons why you can keep pets in these four situations are, like many people in the article, "Pets should be a good way to teach children about animals and their environment" and "purpose" It is for agreeing. One type of pet is to teach the children to take care of empathy and responsibility. "I also feel like this, for example, there are many children who like class pets, such as candied pet turtles, children love him so much, even give me a gift for Valentine's Day In an article by Anastisa Linebarger she said it is not, she agrees; the pet teaches precious lessons to the children in the class of Kim, our class thinks about pets Pets can also be used as incentives so that they have a motive to get enough marbles.

Many people think their pets are family, and pet owners are often active in paying for Fido and Princess Pie. Whether you want to start pet grooming, pet sitting, pet walking, or pet photography, you can manage a large number of profitable home business in the pet care industry. Of course love for animals is essential. Everyone wants a clean house, but many people are pleased that they do not have time to do it by themselves (most of us are more affordable when Roombas is drowning in the dust) Just wait until it becomes). Of course, this job requires travel and can not be done at home - starting your own cleaning service is another great family-run idea - you are mainly at someone else 's house

This is a strange situation. I am not a pet. I love animals, this is not a problem. I love pets and know the people who are most concerned about their pets, I can not get rid of the feeling that my family is not fit for animals. I do not want to force animals to live in human habitats. They appeared only for a day, refused to be chased, made a note until I gave up and threw away the scraps. Then I noticed that I was buying a cat food and a flea collar at supermarket. When I was reading or when I saw something about it, it was usually when I lifted my head to my feet.
