Okey Dokey! The "Roo" has spoken! No more on this topic. I don't agree, but that's my opinion and obviously best kept to myself. We actually do study our pets and animals and their dynamics and how much they ARE like certian human cultures. It's funny when we see a similar animal trait show up in people. So many times, we see we are not that seperated from the animal kingdom and just like PEOPLE can learn to be more harmonious with each other, animals can too. Certian human cultures require the women to be very subservient 3rd class citizens. We don't tolerate that here in this country. But we are all from the same human race. We insist on kindness and respect between ALL the creatures who live here. If they can't be nice...they can't stay. Alex, the house rooster, roams freely through the house with no fear of being attacked by the 8 house cats who share his space. The cats had to learn that Alex is a member of the family, just like they are, and they had to learn to over ride their natural preditor instincts. And so it is with our outdoor chicken villiages. We spend alot of time just sitting on a bench with the chickens, watching them, holding them, talking to them, but watching the rooster, so charming and debonair, clucking to them and doing his wing dance.....no violence or upset. It's a wonderful and peaceful time, but it WOULDN'T be if we did not have the awareness or desire to make it that way. Of COURSE this isn't everyones cup of tea! I respect that. I'm just saying, that when folks come to visit and they see this tranquility, they want to know about it.
OK! 'Nuff outta me! I'm quitting this group!
(nah...just kidding! You can't get rid of me THAT easily!)
Many Blessings~
