“Ive fostered five dogs for the Best Friends Program, which is an amazing no-kill sanctuary for animals, as well as a greyhound named Natasha from the greyhound rescue. All of my fosters have taught me great lessons like patience, nurture, and responsibility. My last foster dog was a Cocker Spaniel, and I couldnt let him go. I adopted him!” WellsLastsAnimalResponsibilityFiveDogTaughtLessonsProgramRescueNurtureAdoptedSanctuaryLet Him GoGreyhoundsSpanielsNatasha Author:Olesya Rulin
“There is not a moral to every story in animal behavior. Sometimes a snake is just a snake, and sometimes snake sex is only about sex in snakes, or sex in egg-laying reptiles. Although a biologist's job in part is to interpret what organisms do in a broader context, that context does not, and should not, need to include a lesson for human beings. This is true regardless of whether the lesson is something we would like to teach, which means that using animals as vehicles for nonsexist thinking is just as out of bounds as using them to keep women barefoot and pregnant.” ThinkingNeedsShouldHumansMeanDoeSometimesStoriesJobsSexHuman BeingsAnimalMoralTeachLessonsBehaviorBoundsEggsVehiclePregnantOrganismsSnakesBiologistBarefootReptilesAnimal Behavior Author:Marlene Zuk
