Most of all the wild animals I like dolphins. They seem to be always smiling and when they make sounds it seems to me that they are giggling. They seem to be the most joyful creatures in the world for me.

I also know that they sometimes rescue drowning people.

They like to play games with each other and with people. Though I feel pity for those of them who live in the dolphinariums.

I saw a TV program where they proved that dolphins can behave themselves very consciously. There was a dolphin of one kind who decided to play with dolphins of another kind but those others didn’t accepted him and started to something like “punching” an alien with their noses. So he, disappointed and offended swam back to his folk and, obviously, communicated with some of his fellows. In several minutes that dolphin and his “friends” came back to the “offenders” and “punched” them. It shows that those creatures can perform actions demanding serious brain work and first of all very a developed imagination.

There are many species of dolphins and sometimes people see dolphins that are hybrids of two different species. The most interesting to me was when I read that there is a so-called Wolphin – a hybrid of False Killer Whale male and a female Bottlenose dolphin.

Animal rights activists are highly concerned about the potential for unnecessary death while human rights activists are charging forward to right the personal wrongs of many who can’t fight for their own rights. When we start recognizing that both of these rights are not independent of each other we make more headway in the long run. No matter how industrialized the world becomes the basic existence on the planet involves a well balanced and well founded idea of each side of the rights. The human factor is engrained in the animal factor and nothing will change that. We need their existence and they now need ours. Without a common ground, the animal rights groups and the human rights groups end up fighting each other when they could be an overpowering force that could change much more of the world with their efforts. The right to live on this planet is not governed by whether your thumbs are opposable or whether you speak a language, but whether or not we preserve each other and the planet well enough to continue expecting the right to live.
The animal rights activists have taken on some pretty hefty challenges as of late. Many of today’s most incredulous groups have put their life in harm’s way to help protect animals from the unnecessary torture related to some industries. However, there are plenty of people who are skirting animal rights for the rights of humans. What many don’t see or experience is that the animal rights and the human rights are intertwined and that both groups should start working together to find world rights.

What mean animals in the psycho-emotional development of children?
If you remember the old, people from distant times used the “instinctive adaptation of” Animal: imitated their hunting habits, wore amulets with images of animals, put on their skin. Animals have always been an example of survival and adaptation to the environment, help to survive.
The ratio of children to animals in many ways similar to the attitude of the ancient people. It provides an animal full equivalence with the dog, for example, believes a full member of the family, their emotions, he is closer to animals than to adults. Animals are close to children, so children can easily identify with them ( “I will be a small dog,” I’m a big Panther “etc.) Fairy-tale heroes, pets help children to understand the environment of his life, in itself, of good and evil . He can play in a fantastic world that it cares. It is, therefore, folk tales, cartoons introduce children to the lives and problems through the images of animals. And it is not an open secret that children are particularly fond of books about animals. Animals in the perception of the child are the link between the real and fantastic world. They can be seen, touched, and fairies, storyteller, kings, princesses – this is fiction.
Playing with animals, children often make them sick, to immediately receive a response: the cat can scratch, bite the dog and leave. This does not allow a child Continue up such an aggressive game. In doing so, such behavior of animals, along with explanations of adults contributes to the development of the ability to empathize with children, feel, constrained. And it is already a child is easier to understand the feelings of other people, build relationships with them.
