Caring for your Pets
Animals have been on earth way before man. However, man developed the art of taming beasts and used them for his daily needs and chores. Farmers used cattle and oxen. Hunters used horses, camel, donkeys etc. Animals like cattle, pigs, goats, sheep and chickens were bred as a source of food.
Farmers used cattle in their day to day chores and over time a relationship between man and animals were formed. A bond was developed between the animals and humans. These animals became more than just beasts of burden.
As time progressed, animals have become more than just ‘animals’, they became companions of mankind. Love and passion between a man and animal developed. The species that became a common part of some humans were cats and dogs.
