For The Love Of Animals <3

In my book For The Love of Animals: The Rise To The Animal Protection Movement is about how the movement to animals treatment in England started. They used to beat and use the animals for brutal entertainment like killings and matches. It focuses on many many research and cases on which how animals used to be treated. Like for example in one case they used to teach elephants how to dance by putting hot irons underneath their feet .so it could look like they were doing a type tap dance on the floor. Things like this influences the people of England to not care about the animals and use the same tactics as the people abusing their animals. Abusing and neglect was a everyday thing for the poor animals.

One case that was in 1739 that a french inventor designed a machine duck that dis everything that a duck could do except for conceiving more ducks. Soon the people where confused on the real ducks and the machine ducks. They called them beast machines die to the confusion if they were just a piece of machinery or a monster made out of skin and blood. People believed that they did not have a soul, wisdom, life or reason.

Soon after a Renaissance writer name Michel de Montaigne write about the relationship and closeness that animals have to humans. The duchess did not agree with his opinion and denied everything that he said but Montaigne argued that a simple time playing with his cat he saw how it interacted and knew that he was playing around. He observed many animals around him and saw how they showed different types of emotions. One of his observations stated that dogs and parrots could be trained to act like humans the most . They used body language to communicate their emotions and passions and they were made out of the same cells that we are.
