I am a new member of BON’s, Bikers Against Animal Cruelty (BAAC) Fan Page. I was lucky to have grown up with many beloved pets in all different shapes and sizes. I’ve had irreplaceable cat and dog friends, fish, gerbils, and even a Nubian goat once named Butterfly. I’ve taken care of my daughter’s lizards. My last fish was a male betta I named Ozzy. He lived for almost three years in his little bowl.
I’ve tenderly cared for baby rabbits, and injured birds. I’ve experienced the great sadness of having to put a beloved pet to sleep. I drive carefully in areas where animals might be out - even those annoying squirrels darting back-and-forth across the roads (they know you’re there!!!!)
Just a few of the great qualities you can learn from caring for pets, include humility, gratitude, unconditional love, compassion, selflessness, and even responsibility.
The never-ending healing powers of animal love. Companions to so many. Animals also bring people together in positive ways. Who doesn’t love a baby animal? Even nations can share animal friendships, such as China’s Panda bears and the many wildlife sanctuaries around the world.
