将该项涂黑。

In case you missed it, a video last week showed a miniature horse eating a bowl of carrots----from a high chair.

A high chair. Yes, really.

It might seem ___36___, but it might also be the logical extension of the growing ___37___ of treating

animals as human and treating pets as children. Examples of this attitude are ___38___, and range from the

innocent to the near-crazy. Some people even ___39___ their pets for Halloween or create social media accounts

for them. Should this cause ___40___? Should we just smile and nod when people treat their pets as such? Should

we shrug off the Facebook page

“

Animals are People Too” and “My Child has Four Paws”?

No. ___41___ animals aren't people. And pets aren't children.

There seems to be confusion about the ___42___between pets and children. People ___43___ the language of

parenthood when talking to their “fur kid” or “baby”. Of course, it' s one thing to use such language lightly, as an

innocent expression of love or a(an) ___44___ of the great joy and deep bonds that pets, like children, can create.

It’s quite another to use this language ___45___.

Words ___46___. Using inaccurate labels for things doesn't just blur(模糊) the very real lines between pets

and people; it can lead to dangerous delusions(错觉). What if a woman ___47___ having a baby won’t be much

different from being a “dad” to a dog?

“Pet parents” point out that they do everything ___48___ parents do---- feed, bathe, clean up, care for and love.

___49___, all these actions form only part of the routines of true parenthood. One does not, and cannot, teach

___50___ and morality to cats and dogs, yet that’s the most important job of a parent. Having a child means

preparing another mind and soul for adulthood and ___51___. Having a pet means keeping an animal obedient and

dependent so it never ___52___ the way a child eventually will.

Pets and children serve different roles, ___53___ different places in the lives of humans. ___ 54___ these

fundamental differences benefits neither creatures nor people. We call “pets” ___55___ loving them any less. So

stopping calling your pets your “children”.
