By creating this site, I wanted to help you to learn more about man best friend. I also wanted to inform you of many aspects that certain groups or organisms do not discuss or do not want you to know. This site will provide you with a complete overall view and enable you to make your own decisions.

Some people may not agree with my convictions or perceptions. But tell yourself that opinions are varied and that considering both sides of the questions will make you more objective in seeing the whole picture. The brain is similar to a parachute, it functions better when it's open!

( If it's by the way animals are treated that we know how evolved a population is, believe me, in certain countries, the human race is not worth much! ) Daniel Ratay

Since man has been in existence, he has had to live constantly in the presence of all kinds of animals.

With some, he developed relations in a common aim of survival while, with others, the purpose was protection from fierce. Nowadays, these relations are different at least for many nations of our countries supposedly "civilized". If you hear persons talk about their animals, you realize that there is a lack of education in the area of the way we live and that our fast way of live prevents us from communicating and establishing contacts with others as easily as previously.

(Smaller families, long and varied work schedules etc.) Nevertheless the need to have ties and contacts with other living creatures has remained the same. In the last few years, we have become aware of the following: Animal shelters are constantly overcrowded. Statistics show there is an increase in the number and seriousness of injuries caused by animals. More and more people wish to have pets. Dog farms multiply. Not everybody has the financial means to get the necessary information. The information available is not readily accessible. Ethologists have found many behavioral problems in animals that become sick and nobody can find the reason.
