Animal Jealousy In Animals

Jealousy is just another part of everyday life. As shown in Bobbie Ann Mason's "Being Country", it's not always easy to look at the bright side. For example, when Mason's family was eating dinner, she called it "fuel for work". Instead of looking to the negative side, she could've been grateful that she had food. Rather than looking at the positive side, we as humans like to generate an invalidating conclusion from unfortunate events in our lives to people that seem more fortunate. Envy and desire were two feelings that I experienced while growing up. Accepting these feelings weren't hard, turning them into ambitions were.

People typically have misunderstandings about dogs because they treat them like humans, which is unnatural in the dog world. However, there is nothing wrong with loving your pet. The problem is that the owners will let bad behavior fester and eventually get out of control. There are even some owners who will take the dog’s side above their kid’s because

There are many different emotions like sadness, happiness, and joyfulness just to name a few that people can experience. One of the most powerful and sometimes dangerous emotions is Jealousy. Jealousy is a powerful emotion that most people experience at some point in their life. However, not everyone is affected in the same way. Some people are filled with insecurity. While others are filled with fear. Most people experience anger. In William Shakespeare’s Othello the audience learns through the characterization of Othello and Iago, the symbolism of the handkerchief, and through Othello denying that he is jealous we learn that jealousy can make people behave irrationally in certain circumstances.

Also, when a dog feels he or she is in danger, they will tend to take an aggressive action to protect themselves. It does not matter if the person causing any danger is friend or foe (ASPCA Aggression). The environment of the animal matters because it can greatly affect their aggression

Also another test done by the Journal of Forensic Science showed that “vicious dog owners reported significantly higher criminal thinking, entitlement, sentimentality and super-optimism tendencies. Vicious dog owners were arrested, engaged in physical fights, and used drugs significantly more than other dog owners." Which reveals how Pit bulls are often used in wrongful means and given a bad name when it all boils down to the owners.

Some people know jealousy as "green envy." Some people just know it as plain old jealousy, but everyone knows jealousy and the pain it can cause. Jealousy is a nasty emotion, causing nice people to act mean, calm people to act rash, and even the steadiest of tempers to rise. It lashes out with harsh actions and words, hurting many innocent victims. Jealousy causes people to act in abnormal ways, devious ways of hatred and deception, ways that most people would not normally act. Ultimately, jealousy is caused by a certain insecurity that a person has. This insecurity comes from not having what you desire, allowing you to be jealous of those who have it. Three main things that cause insecurity

Jealousy, it is one of the most complex human emotions. Everyone experiences jealousy, but each person reacts upon it differently. In A Separate Peace by John Knowles, Gene is envious toward his lifelong friend Finny. The article “Jealousy: Love’s Destroyer” by Hara Marano, jealousy is perceived as a survival instrument. The video “Ode to Envy” by Parul Sehgal, jealousy can be seen as natural. All three sources identify how each person acts differently in a situation that revolves around envy. In the novel A Separate Piece, by John Knowles, the article “Jealousy: Love’s Destroyer”, by Hara Estroff Marano, and the video “Ode to Envy”, by Parul Sehgal, each author shows that jealousy causes each individual to react differently.

Jealousy can effect your actions and emotions you have towards someone. In my life, It has effected

Being jealous is the feeling envious of someone’s achievements or advantages. In A Separate Peace by John Knowles, the character Gene Forrester is very jealous of his best friend Finny. From the beginning of the book Gene always admits he is jealous of him, but Phineas never seems to notice how Gene is feeling. It is hard to admit jealousy but the way Knowles does it helps us realize that jealousy is a normal part of life.

Have you ever owned a dog? Encountered a dog with aggressive behavior? Such as possibly being run after by a dog, consistent barking/growling, and or maybe being bitten by a dog. The answer may be a yes to at least first question. Dogs are great companions they are known as being a man’s best friend. Pit bulls are American Pit Bull Terrier, they have essentially been labeled the face of an “aggressive” dog problem. For this paper I have interviewed Adam Hill. He is an adjunct faculty member in the English Department at Columbus State Community College, he is a father, and husband. This problem seems as if it falls back onto the owner of the dog rather than the breed, although the Pit Bull breed is largely known as having an alpha dog mentality,

As a matter of fact, hunting dogs and other sport dogs, including pit bulls, display animal aggression. No correlation between animal aggression and human aggression exists. Most dogs that live in at a shelter or safe house go through temperament testing. A mandatory series of temperament testing shows the dog’s level of aggression. Certified therapy or rescue dogs take required temperament testing, and this option exists for any pet dog. Of all tested pit bulls, they pass at a higher rate than the dog population in general (Hiding Truth).In Janis Bradley’s 2014 revised book, Dog Bites: Problems and Solutions, she states the issues behind the cases of pit bull attacks, “The most comprehensive study of dog bite-related fatalities to date covered all 256 incidents that occurred between 2000 and 2009. The study reliably identified seven factors potentially within the control of dog caretakers that co-occurred, in various combinations, in the overwhelming majority of the cases examined.14 It is based on investigative techniques not previously employed in dog bite-related fatality studies, which had relied primarily on media reports.15,16 This current study utilized sources more complete, verifiable and accurate than media reports. The researchers identified a co-occurrence of multiple, controllable factors: no able-bodied person being present to intervene (87.1 percent); the victim having no familiar relationship with the dog(s) (85.2 percent); failure to neuter/spay the dog(s) (84.4 percent); a victim’s compromised ability, whether based on age or physical condition, to manage interactions with the dog(s) (77.4 percent); the owner keeping dog(s) as resident animals rather than family pets (76.2 percent); prior mismanagement of the dog(s) (37.5 percent); and abuse or neglect of the dog(s) (21.1 percent)” (4). This leads to people mistakenly blaming this breed of dog for

They aren’t born aggressive. A dog's breed has far less to do with aggression than owner-dependent factors such as how a dog is trained. If a dog was raised to fight or was brought up in a poor home environment, the dog is more likely to be aggressive regardless of its breed. The American Temperament Test Society evaluated the temperaments of various dog breeds, 85.3% of American Pitbull Terriers passed the test whereas other breeds such as Border Collies and Old English Sheep Dogs ranked in the 70th percentile. In many cases, the influence of owners have no effect on the conduct of the dog. Take Lilly, for example. Lilly was a Pitbull gifted to an alcoholic as a method of sobering her up. As any humans can infer, living with an alcoholic is no easy vocation, even for a dog. However, Lily’s hard home life didn’t clog her judgement. One night, Lilly’s owner passed out on a pair of train tracks with a train hot in pursuit. Thanks to none other than Lilly, her owner was pulled off the tracks just in time. Although her owner escaped without scratch, Lilly wasn’t as fortunate. Even with life-threatening injuries, Lilly remained by her owner’s side until help arrived. Ultimately, Lilly had to undergo several serious surgeries and ended up losing a leg. Lilly, a pitbull, put her inattentive owner’s life above her own. Even today, Lilly and her owner remain best friends even though that commitment almost cost her her

Canines have the ability to serve as seeing-eye dogs, firedogs, service dogs or just a playful, loyal companion. The closer the dog and human’s relationship is, the stronger the feelings between them are. Canines have a talent of recognizing dangerous situation and being there for humans in their time of

No dog is an island. According to Dog Behavior Psychologist Lizi Angel, dogs are social creatures, much as we are. She has found loneliness due to isolation a major factor in depression and compulsive behaviors.

While for most of us these friends are human, there are some out there who have to put up with abuse from their pets. Take this parrot owner, for example. Every time that he uses a pencil, his parrot will steal it from him. When the man attempts to retrieve the utensil, the parrot will bite the eraser off the end!
