I sometimes feel bad that animals that know how to use word buttons and iPads and all these interesting new technology things will never be able to pass their knowledge down to other animals in the wild and I wonder sometimes if animals as a whole would be smarter if we would just share our smart pets with the wild animals so they can learn good stuff
Exactly! My sister worries that she spoils her dog but I explain that animals aren't children, we aren't supposed to be raising them into well adjusted people who need to go out on their own into the world. They're just pets, we keep them for companionship and joy, and giving them simple pleasures and seeing them happy is the point.
