The Girl Who Loved Cows Embraced Autism And Changed The World

Without animals, humans would not be humans. Animals and humans co-exist together for a reason. Animals need humans, and humans need animals. There has been many stories of animals that change humans forever. One example is Temple Grandin, a high-functioning autistic woman whose life was extremely influenced by animals. She could see animals in ways others couldn't. She knew how to help the animals, and the animals helped her, too. Many people have stories similar to hers, and it's no surprise considering animals have always been such an important part of the development of the human

Animals have been there for us, even if we made the choice to leave them, they still decided to stay by our sides. Every new experience can make a person change, sometimes the change is negative and other times it is positive. Either way, there is no avoiding change. Animals are protective, understanding, and very helpful.

Animals help humans in our lives for sharing their features. Every new experience can make a person change; sometimes the changes are positive, and other times it is negative. Either way, here is no avoiding change. Animals are kind, helpful, and playful.

Studies have shown that the children who grow up in homes with animals have a better ability to show empathy later and as adults. Pets are easy to communicate with, and their body language is much simpler than a human’s. This simple body language allows children to learn to empathize with them, a skill they can carry with them as they go through life (Holistic Online, 2007).

I think every single day we are personally connected with animals. We eat animals for food, wear animal skins for clothes, own animals as pets, use animals for recreation, and experiment on animals to test drugs and consumer products. We are aware of this, yet we naturally give little thought to the overwhelming number of animals that we use in these ways, and what the animals themselves might be suffering as we use them for our purposes. While no non-human animal on this planet has the cultured rational abilities that we do, many, however, have mental capacities that enable them to experience pain, suffering, and anxiety

In the article “A Change of Heart about Animals” Jeremy Rifkin uses scientific evidence to reason with us that “many of our fellow creatures are more like us than we had ever imagined”. Rifkin suggests that animals should be treated better and be provided with better living conditions. He uses Betty and Koko as examples that animals have higher intellectual abilities and emotions than we thought. Many scientists also argued that animals do not have an understanding of death or capable of grief, but Rifkin counteracts that argument by using elephants as evidence to show that they are capable of grief.

Scientists have shown that pet ownership can have demonstrably positive effects on human health. "A 10-month prospective study was carried out which examined changes in behaviour and health status in 71 adult subjects following the acquisition of a new pet (either dogs or cats). A group of 26 subjects without pets served as a comparison over the same period. Both pet-owning groups reported a highly significant reduction in minor health problems during the first month following pet acquisition, and this effect was sustained in dog owners through to 10 months" (Serpell 1991). Dog owners in particular benefited from

People are healthier when they own pets.In the autobiography ''My Story'' froom Animals in Translation by Temple Gradin and Catherine Johnson ''Temple said she spent every spare moment working the barns.'' It's makes Temple healtheir by it's exersirse for her you know all the things you are doing are burning calories.

Internal and external forces can create change between animals and humans. When owners say goodbye to their pet, it can teach them a lot of things in the end. Every new experience can make a person change, sometimes the change is positive other times it is negative, either way there is no avoiding change. Animals help humans live stronger, cherished our lives, and care for their owners with severe conditions.

Growing up with animals all around me, I became fascinated by them since I was capable of acknowledging their existence. Most of my extended family members had multiple animals in their house that ranged from dogs to birds, so I grew up with a variety of species. I was raised with the mentality that animals were part of the family and they were to be loved and treated as such. Truth be told, my grandma only had her cat because of me and my abnormal adoration for animals. While staying the night at her house, I heard a pitiful meow outside the front door.

Take Temple Grandin as an example. Temple grandin is a autistic scientist who has a photographic memory. She used it to create a cattle drive. Many people would bully Temple because she was different. They would make her frustrated. I know this because in the parts of the book, “My Story” it states,”Kids called me tape recorder so I would smack them just like that. But my new school solved that.” Her new school had stables filled with horses. Whenever Temple was furious, outraged ,or depressed , she would go see one of the horses ,so she could glide her hand through their fur. This helped Temple keep herself serene. Animals not only help her keep calm but also sparked ideas for inventions. The horses and cows were a big part to Temples

First, owning a pet can give people some major health benefits. Without a pet, a day at work or school can be stressful. By the end of the day, people could be ripping out their hair or throwing papers everywhere. This can make anyone’s heart rate go up as well as their blood pressure. Thankfully, studies have shown that interacting with a dog or other pet can lower his or her’s cortisol levels. For instance, after only three months, a group of people working with dogs were shown to have significant drops in blood pressure and stress. Pet’s happy go lucky vibes can impact their owners to feel the same, lowering his or her’s stress level. Even when someone sees a picture of their pet when they're stressed, it can immediately cause his or her’s heart

I love animals because they exude an air of unconditional love, innocence and happiness to their people. Our animal friends love being a part of our lives and we love to have them with us.

My animals have a big spot in my heart. From finding animals on the road and coming home with them after my dad said no to keeping them even though my dad said no. There the best friend that you can’t find in a human. They’re there when no one else is around, ready to cuddle if you're upset, and be there if you just need something to listen to you vent. This is why for my final artifact I chose a horse necklace to represent my love for animals. This love motivates me everyday to go to work, and continue my education to help other’s animals. Without animals everything I know today wouldn’t be the same.

When I was young, my father raises pigeons for racing as his part time job. He showed me how to take care them, what to feed them and when to train them. It is a lot of work but my favor part was the moment those little fluff ball hatch from the egg. That was where I started to love animals. I do not mind the hard work to take care them because in the end of the day if they are healthy, it is all worth it. As an animal science major, I can get more experience with animal related courses and start to take care more animals even if I am not a Veterinarian yet.
