LOVE FOR SALE

There is a particular breed of humans who love animals. Some of these people are dog-lovers; others are attached to cats; some prefer horses, fish, or birds. A few love all animals, including mice and snakes. True animal lovers are devoted to keeping their pets safe, happy and healthy. For example, a rich American woman, Mrs.Rockefeller-Dodge, at one time spent $50,000 a year feeding her fifty dogs the finest cuts of meat. Her family finally took her to court to try to stop her from squandering her money in this way. The judge, however, agreed with Mrs.Dodge and she continued treating her dogs to the life style she felt they deserved.

Animal lovers like Mrs.Dodge believe their affection is returned, and they have evidence to
support their belief. Accounts of amazing, often heroic animal behavior suggest that many animals are, in
fact, people - lovers. A canary in Tennessee saved the life of the old woman who fed it; a dog in
Switzerland rescued more than forty people who were in danger of freezing in the mountains; a Japanese
dog continued to meet his master's train for more than ten years after his master had died; off the coast of
New Zealand, ships used to sail safely through a dangerous channel only because they were guided by a
friendly porpoise. 

With stories of devotion like these to encourage them, people willingly return their pets' affection by buying them things. Not only do Americans spend more than three billion dollars annually on basics like food, grooming, and veterinarian services, they provide their animals with extras like clothes, jeweled collars, special dishes, beds, and in extreme cases, sunglasses and pet psychiatrists.

 No evidence exists to prove that this expensive treatment makes the animals any happier, but it certainly pleases the pet industry. This industry has grown to a healthy six billion dollar business and looks forward to a rosy future. As one pet dealer said, "We offer love for sale. Not many businesses can make that claim".

 3)post-reading

it for our future.
