Let\u2019s break down<\/u> what I think some of them might say.<\/p>\n
First, let\u2019s look at domestic pets. Dogs would constantly ask to play or to be praised. Dogs are usually seen as sympathetic animals, so they\u2019d probably also ask you what\u2019s wrong or comfort their owners when they feel down. Many breeds also like to complete tasks and be useful to humans, so they might say something like, \u201cWould you like me to fetch you today\u2019s newspaper?\u201d And hunting dogs might scream, \u201cOh my god, there\u2019s a bird here! I found one!\u201d Dogs tend to feel lonely when their owners aren\u2019t around, so they might say things similar to an obsessive girlfriend or boyfriend such as \u201cAre you going out? How long are you going to be out? When are you going to be home? Who are you going with? Oh I know that guy. I like his dog. Can I come too?\u201d And when their owner comes home after an hour, they probably say things like, \u201cOh my god, you\u2019ve been gone for so long. I thought you had left me forever. I missed you so much. Where did you go? Oh yeah, where\u2019s my food?\u201d If they destroyed something and you found out and scolded them, they\u2019d probably apologize for having done it while giving some stupid excuse like, \u201cI\u2019m sorry, but I had to chew up your sock because it smells like you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Now, cats are very different creatures. Cats would probably sternly ask you to stop touching them and leave them alone. They\u2019d probably also push something off a shelf or table as they ask whether it\u2019s important to you. They\u2019d probably also lie and deny having broken the things they definitely destroyed. When they circle around your feet, they\u2019re probably saying, \u201cPet me!\u201d And after petting them twice, they roll over on their backs, and say, \u201cHere, touch my tummy. Look how cute and vulnerable I am.\u201d And most humans would probably go for it, but that\u2019s a big mistake. The moment you try to touch them again, they\u2019d swipe or bite you, then say, \u201cPsych<\/u>! I can\u2019t believe you fell for that. Haha, humans are so stupid.\u201d I believe cats would also wake you up early in the morning with their bottom on your face, saying, \u201cI believe you have slept enough, peasant<\/u>, now feed me, for I am hungry.\u201d Speaking of food, they\u2019d probably eat half the bowl and then say, \u201cMy bowl is empty.\u201d They\u2019d also claw at the back door, saying, \u201cOpen the door, peasant.\u201d And once you open it, and ask why they didn\u2019t go out, they\u2019d laugh and say, \u201cI only asked for you to open it. I didn\u2019t say I wanted to go out.\u201d then walk away with their tail in the air. As an added bonus, they\u2019d probably also threaten to kill you if you ever dare to put those stupid clothes and accessories on them ever again.<\/p>\n
However, there are also some less than pleasant things that animals would say. Birds would probably ask you to let them out of their cage and let them fly freely outside. Wild animals kept as exotic pets would also ask to be released back into the wild. Wild animals would ask humans to stop hunting them as trophies, and farm animals would ask us to stop slaughtering them for meat, fur, or hide<\/u>. Marine animals would ask us to stop polluting their homes with sewage and plastics. All wild animals would ask us to stop destroying their natural habitats and draining their resources.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, I do wonder what zoo animals would say. While some animals may thank us for rescuing them from natural disasters, would some animals mercilessly point out<\/u> that the planet wouldn\u2019t have been like this in the first place if it hadn\u2019t been for humans? That humans are the root cause<\/u> of many species\u2019 extinction?<\/p>\n
We may never find out what animals truly think, but we should consider the impact we may have on their lives at our own convenience, and never treat them in a way we wouldn\u2019t wish to be treated.<\/p>\n
