A person sometimes can not talk about a subject because the person my have a bad memory about it. I was dealing with the same issue i never talk about my dog and the cat that i used to have, Ben and minou.
In my early age i had Ben, who was a dog, from my family. I was more attaching to Ben than my family was ,also ben does. Years later they would have had to take it away from me because of delequency. I used to have him with me everywere i go. I used to scare people with him because it was a big Dog. The worst of all is, i used to fight people for any reason as long as knew Ben got my back. No matter how big or older then me you might be, i will try to fight you if you had been disrespectful. When i got an altercation with some young men and ben is not there i would not act. If they do something wrong to me i would go home to get Ben and the fight will be on. I knew that Ben would bite them. after so many people have been reported the news to my family so they decided to take him away to my grand parent that were far away from me. Years later he died. It was old because it was my father dog. It was older than me.
Minou was my lovely cat she was so smart. Actually,she was not my cat my older brother brought it, but he is not affectionate. Month after Minou has me as favorite, so my brother said "u can have her." i used to wake up early in the morning to go to training . It happened that every 5 am Minou will come to my room in bite my finger just to wake me up. i think that was smart. We had so much fun. One day i was looking for her i could not see her. somebody killed her. Some people in my country eat cats, those are dugs and alcohol addicted ,and some does not. When i knew what happened to the cat i wanted to kill that man. I was hurt and angry. Thank God! I got over it months later.
I think some animals are affectionate and intelligent. No one should allow to kill or eat any of these animals. the law should punish u as a killer ,first degree murder. my favorite are dogs and cats, respect them no matter you like them are not.
