I knew someone would go there and I knew it would be you.
How about this? I protect my children like a Mama bear. Now does that mean I treat human babies like bear cubs? YES and that's a good thing. Them Mama bear hoovers over her young when she is disciplining them too.
We DO have commonality between us and the animal kingdom.
There are MANY principles in the care of animals from one species to another that are alike. You took the "dog" shot because our society has a phrase we use to describe poor behavior or mean behavior as in "I wouldn't do that to a dog I didn't like"... "he treated me like a dog".
