The Animal Planet

 Why this title, you would wonder. Sure the channel is out of this world. Indeed because it deals with animals, luckily out of this world of us humans!

Sure we evolved out (of) animals, to put Darwin's ideas simplistically. Actually, however, animals are much more, and better, evolved than most all human beings put together. Mind you, this truism holds good about so called wild animals as well. 

No animal ever harasses, harms, hurts another out of sheer ill will, wickedness, mean selfishness. If fully-n-properly fed, a lion would allow a fawn prance around. In fact, in the animal world, there is a subtle sense of co-operation as can be seen in any  lion pride. Even when it comes to human-wild life bonds, there are tremendous tales of true devotion, loyalty and faithfulness, of the Elsa lioness types from the days of Aesop and the hungry lions.

When it comes to pets, even cats are better than many human beings. Dogs are wonders when it comes to love, affection, devotion. Even if ill treated, a dog would never hurt its "hooman". Eternal clowns, they are superb stress busters. Moreover, they are intelligent enough to learn and perform. They are real gems, unlike human tricksters.  They communicate in multiple ways. Be it Robinson Crusoe or Ulysses, dogs have revealed God like behaviour! Remember Laila,the Guinea pig dog whose sacrifice made the current space  field possible.

As animals are the best buddies, here is wishing them a long, happy togetherness on this world Animal Day! Hence the title today!
