Loneliness? Banalization of paternity-maternity? Fashion or whim? When it comes to asking why people treat their pets as if they were people, are there more questions than answers about how to treat pets?

In a recent article the Spanish journalist and writer Vicente Verdú He pointed out that, today, maternity (or paternity) runs the risk of trivializing when it is converted into an act of possession, at the whim of the person who "acquires" a child as one who buys a pet.

A son or a pet?

According to the journalist, pets have become a business that moves millions of pesos, dollars and euros. In the United States alone, Americans spend up to 23 billion dollars a year on their pets, a figure that has an annual growth of 15%, so that loving a pet as a child influences the economic wellbeing of people.

"According to the Adweek magazine, the increase in spending is because the owners consider the pets as their children and feel bad conscience about not spending enough time with them. Consequently they buy all series of supplements and the best foods on the market, "adds Verdú.

"The advantage of the pet over the child is that it adapts more easily, it is subjected with less resistance and, in general, it is incomparably grateful", explained Verdú.

A possible answer

If we believe in the writer's thesis, we can find an answer: "A domestic animal is like that even if it becomes an adult and falls old. That is why it is not subject to rights or duties.

That is why you can own your property until you die. A human creature is something else: an intelligent and free being, with inherent rights to that condition, "he says.

Motherhood or fatherhood must be a free option for every human being, but it should not be confused with possession or complete dominion over a creature, human or animal. And you, how do you treat your pet?
