Why we say: I was treated () as an animal? One day of these I heard an expression, that has times did not hear, took which me to this reflection. Why the people say: – I was treated () as an animal! I was treated () as one () dog ()? Why the people associate the bad treatment to the treatment of an animal? Which the origin of the expression above? It will be that she is correct? Or better, who generated the act maltreats of it against the animal considered and it correct to the point to create the exclamaes acimas? I can seem suspicion when writing these brief lines, therefore I have three adorable dogs, mui loved and treated well. I give optimum of me they, beyond basic the inserted one in the laws and in common-sense, which is food, water, safe and comfortable environment, attention, cares veterinarians, among others. I give love, affection, treatment them as members of the family, therefore it is this that are. However, independent of my relation with my animals, I believe that the man must reflect in the alluded phrase, therefore we pass ahead what we hear, reproducing as if truth it was, without the least to question the origin, the meaning and what this matters for our lives. Why badly to be treated means to be treated as an animal? Why they deserve the maltratos? Who will be really irrational in this world where lives? Every day animal cruel they are assassinated, molested, commercialized and damaged. we what we make? They exist defending of the animals, however, they are very little front to the number of animals that they need aid. This reality alone will change if the mentality and the human behavior to move. I say, still, if somebody to say I treated that them as animal, with certainty this somebody was very well treated, therefore I respect the animals. It is the doubt pairando in air: Who is the irrationals, after all? The animals that suffer the maltratos caused for the human beings? Or the ones that if say human beings and cause pains and storms to the animals, are standed out, creatures of God. It does not remain me alternative not to be to request the God who has taken the animals stops next to Itself, while he has time, while the men they did not exterminaram them of the face of the Land.
