People often copy what everyone else is doing, even when the behavior doesn’t have much logic behind it. Maybe it’s the instinct to blend in, maybe it’s habit, or maybe we’ve stopped questioning traditions that should have been challenged a long time ago. The truth is, many of the things we treat as “normal” today probably shouldn’t have become normal at all. Whether fueled by convenience, routine, or simple complacency, these patterns deserve a closer look in our modern world.
#1: Treat Every Animal With Equal Value
For reasons no one has ever clearly defined, different pets seem to be assigned different levels of importance. Dog and cat owners usually go out of their way to provide excellent care, while people with fish, small mammals, or reptiles often assume those animals require little to no attention.
But this mindset is fundamentally unfair. Why should the size of a creature determine the amount of compassion it receives? A small pet still depends entirely on its owner for safety, comfort, and health. Every living animal deserves thoughtful care, not a ranking system based on how “interactive” or “cute” society thinks they are.
