There is something about being an animal person that non-animal people simply cannot understand. There are moments that we go through that… probably look strange to others. We have been told that having conversations with our pets is weird… even though we think it's normal. We have been told that having our camera reel be filled with almost nothing other than adorable pictures of our pets is… abnormal, even though that's what our phones always look like. We have been told that scrolling through funny animal memes all day long might not be the healthiest activity, but we disagree, animal memes make us laugh.
And apparently, saying hello to animals as you pass by them on the streets is also considered… an unusual thing to do, even though we have done that our entire lives and will continue to do so. Shamelessly and proudly.

We could not agree more. Saying hello to animals is something that each and every animal person must do - simply must, and we must do it without shame and without any care in the world about how people around us may react to it. That's how you keep sane as an animal person.
We choose to believe that there is a cause and effect about this story because of the way that it was framed, and thus, we now must start advocating that more animal lovers work… everywhere. This is unacceptable, ridiculous, and quite frankly, it should have been something you were praised for.
