Dog Animal Simple

More From Kevin Kline

It's a big mistake when encyclopedias say "loyal" - this dog, this breed has this ability to be loyal, to be a one person dog. i don't agree with that. i think all dogs are honest, all dogs have integrity, all dogs are loyal and they're all capable of loving you. it doesn't come from the breed. it comes from the dog.
Dog Integrity Mistake
I believe that the best way to create good living conditions for any animal, whether it's a captive animal living in a zoo, a farm animal or a pet, is to base animal welfare programs on the core emotion systems in the brain. my theory is that the environment animals live in should activate their positive emotions as much as possible, and not activate their negative emotions any more than necessary. if we get the animal's emotions rights, we will have fewer problem behaviors... all animals and people have the same core emotion systems in the brain.
Zoos Believe Animal
If i had been a different sort of person, maybe less impressionable, less intense, less fearful, less utterly dependent upon the perceptions of others - maybe then i would not have bought the cultural party line that thinness is the be-all and end-all of goals. maybe if my family had not been in utter chaos most of the time, maybe if my parents were a little better at dealing with their own lives maybe if i'd gotten help sooner, or if i'd gotten different help, maybe if i didn't so fiercely cherish my secret, or if i were not such a good liar, or were not quite so empty inside... maybe.
Liars Party Goal
People tend to care about dogs because they generally have more experience with dogs as companions; but other animals are as capable of suffering as dogs are. few people feel sympathy for rats. yet rats are intelligent animals, and there can be no doubt that rats are capable of suffering and do suffer from countless painful experiments performed on them. if the army were to stop experiments on dogs and switch to rats instead, we should not be any less concerned.
Dog Army Animal
Animals are like autistic savants. in fact, i'd go so far as to say that animals might actually be autistic savants. animals have special talents normal people don't, the same way autistic people have special talents normal people don't; and at least some animals have special forms of genius normal people don't, the same way some autistic savants have special forms of genius. i think most of the time animal genius probably happens for the same reason autistic genius does: a difference in the brain autistic people share with animals.
Animal Thinking Differences
I'm afraid of making a mistake. i'm not totally neurotic, but i'm pretty neurotic about it. i'm as close to totally neurotic as you can get without being totally neurotic.

It is not because the truth is too difficult to see that we make mistakes... we make mistakes because the easiest and most comfortable course for us is to seek insight where it accords with our emotions - especially selfish ones.
