The difference between pets and wild animals is often not that clear. the word domesticated animal is also used to describe domesticated varieties of farm animals. The only obvious difference is between domesticated pets and wild pets or wild animals, since domesticated pets typically live in captivity and are usually obedient to humans. But are domesticated animals any different to wild ones? And what are the uses and problems faced by these domesticated varieties? In this article, we will look at both of these issues briefly and provide a brief overview of domesticated animals and their characteristics.
Domesticated animals are basically the descendants of wolves, coyotes, horses, dogs, cats etc. They are all members of the domesticated group of mammals and have evolved in parallel with humans. They are used for a variety of purposes in human societies, both for sport and for their meat. There are some other uses for domesticated animals apart from food such as breeding, pest control, movement of goods, travelling and hunting etc.
In the past, domestic animals were used as companions, and in some cases as pets. There are certain populations of humans who still do own some wild animals like snakes and lizards as they are beneficial to the family and tend to keep away pests. However, there is a growing trend of people keeping exotic domestic animals as they are more comfortable with the idea of owning a pet than keeping wild animals as pets.
There are certain groups of domestic animals that have a special role in human society either as service animals, work animals, or as disease-control measures. There are many different types of domestic animal including those used for service, hunting, and therapy. It is important to understand the role of these animals and what exactly their function is in our society. This will allow us to determine whether they should be allowed to participate in disease-control measures, whether we should allow them to participate in hunting, or if they should be contained within a zoonotic (an environment that is self-contained and not shared by any other animal’s) situation.
Many of these types of animals provide service or companions to humans. Such pets include dog walkers, assistance with household chores, guide dogs for the blind or deaf, and assistance during personal injuries. Some of these pets are wild animals but are kept by humans as companions and caretakers for their human owners. These can include cats, horses, birds, and other domesticated animals. Most of these pets are not exploited for their valuable body parts or fur because their value as a food source is more than their monetary value.
On the other hand, some pets are used for hunting and are strong animals when it comes to fighting and competing with other hunters. Pets can also be dangerous and can cause injury or death to humans, especially children. Therefore, we have to ask ourselves whether owning pets in a confined and secure environment is a good idea for our families, particularly if we are considering keeping these pets as house pets. In most cases, the answer is no.
The truth is that we have a strong relationship with domestic animals and most of the time they are treated better than the neglected, abandoned, or abused domestic animals that live on the streets. However, sometimes a relationship is strained, which can result in abuse towards the pets and/or humans that the owner has allowed into the premises. As much as we love our pets and think of them as our best friends, they still have a mind of their own and can choose to do what is best for themselves rather than listen to the orders of their human companions.
One final thought when it comes to having animals and pets in a home is the possibility that a sick or injured animal could potentially be infected by a virus that was introduced through a contaminated pet food supply. There have been many documented cases over the past decade where pets have either died or become ill due to tainted food sources. We have all heard of food poisoning from ticks and fleas, but this is only one of the potential sources of illness for animals. A common example of this is the hepatitis B virus, which has killed over 20% of the wild Atlantic salmon’s population, and which is believed to be the cause of cancer in human beings. These are serious considerations when it comes to owning animals, and we simply cannot afford to make a bad choice when it comes to the health of our pets and how they might be affected
