The Wild animals as house favourites
I consider what to hold houses of wild animals, at least, not humanely. In my mind to hold wild animals in the house, at least, it is not humanely. I am against their maintenance in the house. Their house is a wood, a field, open space … But sometimes the life solves on another way. There were squirrel, hedgehog and a hybrid of the wolf and the sheep-dog in my house. The first in my life has appeared squirrel. It was a long time ago. I was 16 years old. My younger sister has brought squirrel to our home from school. Our school was closed on a vacation and someone should take care of squirrel. That why my sister has brought squirrel to home. I did not meet more stupid essence in my life. We have solved, that it is not humane to hold squirrel in a cage. It has limited freedom. Squirrel ran on apartment. It was not afraid of people. It did not concern to people with due respect. People were only convenient transport for it. It liked to jump on the person from above and to go on him. And it did not disturb at all, that such behaviour do not like people. When it has tried to train, it has bitten through the big finger on a hand to my friend. It has brought an infection in a wound. My friend was ill more than month. Everybody has started to be afraid of my squirrel after this case. And when it has run away through a door of the open balcony, all were only glad. I do not wish to tell lies; I shall tell fairly, anybody has not gone to search squirrel at all. I am not against squirrel. These are lovely essences. But I recollect with shudder that squirrel till now. I do not wish to see more these charming monsters in my house.
My friends have presented me a hedgehog. More truly, have presented on birthday to my son. I do not know what bad we have made for them? They have not told us “why”. But to present the hedgehog in the house where there lived three dogs it is possible only as revenge. The hedgehog was engaged in revenge. It was in 1993. Since then the world was shaken with many terrible events. And if hedgehog has presented us in 2003, I would name it kamikaze or the condemned man. It was the fearless hedgehog, and it revenged fearlessly. But for some reason object of revenge it has chosen our dogs. Poor ours boxer Masha. It was the kindest essence. Very quiet, defenceless essence. With very gentle soul and a body. The hedgehog played with her so. When Masha fell asleep, it crept to her back. Crept with special way - a backing. There was with sleepy Masha close back to back and sharply included a backing. Poor Masha! To feel an injection at least ten prickles!.. That occurred further, try to imagine. But since then Masha long tried to fall asleep or on a sofa or having hidden a back in any corner. The hedgehog liked to not admit Ara to a bowl with meal. Ara was very severe dog. Big, strong, terrible! But it was very well trained dog. She understood, that those who lives in the house - friends, and it is impossible to offend them. And how you will offend the hedgehog? More shortly when my husband has brought the hedgehog to a forest we have arranged a real holiday. I do not wish to see hedgehogs in my house. Only in the country house in the evenings as receiving visitors.
