For me, my pets are a connection to the environment because they are animals. My compassion towards them extends to other wildlife within the environment. While I care for my own pets and have questions on how to help them, I wonder about wildlife around my home as well, such as squirrels, rabbits, birds, and raccoons and how to help them. For instants, if I get flowers from my significant I instantly worry they’ll be harmful to my cats. If they are, I ensure to put them in safe places. I then wonder what could harm the wildlife around me and what couldn’t. As an animal lover, I seek to protect all life I can, whether it’s my own pets, insects, or wildlife.
