No animals do not hate, they are incapable of it. The may dislike the presence of a rival of thier own kind but it is because of competition not hatred. Hatred is a human concept and does not exist in nature.

If people admit that animals are worth being in relationships with, it calls up all the other problems. People have trouble morally with all that they do to animals and they don't want to be reminded of it.

Main pet hate: Evangelical street preachers sending folks to hell, sight unseen, before they are even close to being dead, and in general the roving flocks of bleating sheeple who back them up.\n\nWhat do I do about it: I ignore them as much as humanly possible and really only get screechy in their faces right back at them once every few months or so....\n\nI mean, life is too short to deal with so-called "thoughtful humans" (that literal translation of Homo Sapiens) who *willfully* cease to think, *willfully* aspire to be like herd animals, and then *insist* that their so-called Good Book (published by us unworthy humans no less!) gives them the divine right to be dictators over us all....life is too short to deal with *that* kind of migraine.\n\nAnd it is also too short to spend in prison for actually slaughtering them and *completing* their "total sheep experience", you know?  :))  *lol*

Kindness and respect.  \n\nI think we have a responsibility to care for all animals with kindness and respect.  That includes the care and treatment of our pets as well as the care and protection of wildlife.  Although I often raise animals for meat, I believe that even an animal that is to be used for food should be treated with kindness and respect.  \n\nWhile I think that it is prudent to treat vegetable life with respect, I believe there is a difference.  Animals are living, breathing, thinking creatures.  They have relationships within their own social groups.  Many times within those groups other creatures rejoice in their birth, enjoy (and often share) their care, and mourn their passing.  Additionally, many of these creatures relate to us on terms we can appreciate and enjoy.  Therefore, they are valuable to others in their own group, as well as having value to us.  For that reason alone, their ability to "build" relationships, I feel we are ethically obligated to should show them kindness and respect them as living creatures.

Animal lovers usually have some fur (like dog hair or cat hair) on their person. \nAnimal lovers don't buy into the propaganda of PETA...that makes them animal activists.\nAnimal lovers understand ecological systems and the need for man to intervene in some of these systems (ie. hunting deer or preserving predators like the cougar/florida panther)\nAnimal lovers know that when a pet has reached its caged capacity it is NOT humane to release it into precious ecosystems (ie. pythons in the Everglades)\nAnimal lovers know that sometimes we have to kill animals to preserve and protect animals\nAnimal lovers know that you have to dissect and collect  animals to learn more \nAnimal lovers can choose to bring their pets everywhere that pets are welcome, but they never leave their pets in the car.\n\nPhysical proof that you are an animal lover? Be kind to all animals, be aware of animals, respect animals, know that animals are supposed to be wild, but once domesticated should stay that way (unless wildlife rehab). \n\nIf you really want to show off that you are an animal lover, You can take your pets out with you (where acceptable).  You can make T-shirts with their pictures. You can buy t-shirts that have animals on them. You (as a zoologists) can start a shelter/rehab facility. YOu could have a tatoo that states: I love animals.\n\nOR\n\nYou could just show that you love animals by your kindness to them, by your knowledge about them, about their plights, and their food-chain, by educating the public about animals and how to take care of your pets, report animal abuse if you see it, don't tolerate the releasing of pets into the wild, ensure that your communtiy/state has laws and tough penalties that protect animals (from abuse)

There are a few people that I dislike, but I don't "hate" anyone. Every relationship I have with people, even the bad ones, shap me into the person I am today.

Because to hate all the time is stupid, life draining, time consuming, emotionally exhausting, physically abusive and just not great for ones social life.. \n\nWho needs that?!\n\nI'm down with the love thing any day!

People are scared of things they don't understand, and "Hate" is the result.\n\nIf you or something you like is being hated, it is never the fault of the person or thing being hated... it is the fault of the person who is DOING the hating. THEY are uncomfortable.\n\nYou can apply this to anything in your life... music, people, lifestyles etc.

People love to hate.  And nothing will bring more people from different backgrounds together than hate, it makes people feel good to be able to look down on others and feel better about themselves.  It is very sad and I believe what goes around comes around for all of us.

I think this is the second time I'm answering your question, and I must say that I do love answering them. So, yes I do think and love at the same time.\n\nOn a more serious note: Avocados\n\nI think it's easier for people to hate.  When you love something or feel and act with your heart you open yourself up and you make yourself venerable. There are no wall to the world you let someone in, and they can be kind or cruel. Even as we go about our day to day interactions, we can take someone for granted and say mean things. It's much easier to say somehting mean to someone than it is to say something nice. Generally it's the people who are insecure or have problems that are mean to other people, and we've all been insecure and have had problems.

My two dogs are part of my family.  We love them dearly and care for them as we care for each other.  Family comes first over anything and anybody.  So, to the question asked, I do like my pets more than most people.
