“Bonds Between Animals and People”
I was interested in her comments about the importance of having pets. Stroking a cat lowers a person’s blood pressure, and so on. But there is a negative side to the whole business of keeping pets. Dogs and cats have to eat meat, and the production of meat for our pets is a huge percentage of the amount of meat that is consumed by families, especially in the rich countries. We should give up keeping animals for company. People can stroke a teddy bear instead of a cat!
