Hi Amanda

This what you wrote down stays and cannot change.Even snakes move away if they do not need to protect or feel they are attacked.To my knowledge only cats and humans kill out of need to feed.

Another fact for those who know how get to level of communication to the one across you.

Many made doctorates on these themes and I have no intention of making one here.It would take too much of my free time.

See you soon here,

Hi Amanda, thanks for being a real trooper. This angle brought up by Zvonimir was not intended to add anything or take away from this Profile of the Day honor. The dialogue is interesting to follow and I agree it is a whole nother topic for another day, place and time perhaps. I agree with you regarding approaching a dog or other animal. I don't run up screaming at a strange dog or cat, or even one that seems friendly. Just this weekend I was visiting my sister and a dog I have seen a few times. I eased up, let Chip smell the back of my hand, and slowly began to pet the dog to make sure he was comfortable first.

Similarly, I don't run up to a person I don't know that well or at all and start screaming. If you were a policeman I would get shot. Rather you approach someone in a way that will not make them feel threatened. Good topic. Glad you are enjoying your honor. You have the whole weekend, not just a day! Thanks all for your contributions.
