Hello Zvonimir,
You could be opening a great discussion here..
In my humble opinion animals and people attack each
other for a reason. People, verbally or written and
then the big threats to society the others who are
deadly and extremely dangerous.
I will try and explain what I mean.
An animal lives on its instincts - Fight or Flight Action.
Make noises, mock charges, or real fighting or they run away when they think they are in danger.
Often people do not know an animals natural code of ethics around its territory and unwittingly or deliberately steps into their space. That animal either feels it has to fight or run away to protect its space or leave and come back when all is clear.
People in many ways are not so far different. Our
upbringing, cultural differences from one another. Our values, ethics, morals, beliefs, boundaries play a big part of who we are.
When someone challenges one or more of these things
by stepping over our invisible line that we feel comfortable in - then we are inclined to Fight or Flight
too.
We can be brought up in ignorance and fear, loving and gentle, bullying and aggression and the list goes on.
We have become conditioned from the society, neighbourhood, family, country environment etc we live
in and we accept the practices that have been taught
to us from childhood upwards. It is only when we step away from these practices, away from the environment we live in and someone shows us the errors of our ways or the goodness we are doing - that we can begin to see them for what they are - Good or bad and then make ones own decision about it.
I believe that as an individual we should be more
careful of the way we present ourselves to others (animals or people) Our body language plays a big
part how we are perceived by others and can come
across as aggressive and the person on the other
end feels threatened and intimidated.
We should not boldly walk up to a dog and start
patting it - this is a sign of aggression, you should
walk gently towards the dog, stop and wait a moment then present the back of you hand, stoop down a little so you are not standing over the animal.
