Like an Animal

~ Gottfried

Sometimes I wish I was an octopus, so I could slap eight people at once. Wild animals are less wild and more human than many humans of this world. And that’s why you should never play poker with the worlds fastest animal because he’s a cheetah.

Today I saw a woman talking to her cat. She really thought the cat understood. I told my dog when I got home, we both had a good laugh. Dogs come when they are called. Cats on the other hand take a message and get back to you later.

The best way to be kind to Bears is not to be very close to them. Imagine shooting down a Bear for doing ‘Bear Things’? That’s cruel! Taking a dog named shark to the beach is also a bad idea. I named my dog “5 miles” just so I can tell people I walk 5 miles everyday.

When animals do something noble, we say they are behaving ‘like humans’. When humans do something disgusting we say they are behaving ‘like animals’. Clumsy use of the English language perpetuates the myth that animals are inferior and disposable beings.

Man is the only mammal that blushes – or that needs to. Man is also a clever animal who for the most part behaves like an imbecile. In our quest for wisdom, we arrived at the pearly gates of foolishness. Other animals don’t pay rent, neither do they buy food. We sold ourselves for clothes.

If people treat you like an animal in their lives. Stop barking. Be a Lion. Maul a few of them! On the beach and in the sea, animals don’t leave trash behind. Humans do. Please behave like animals. Rabbits jump and live for eight years. Dogs run and live for 15 years. Turtles do nothing and live for 150 years…
