| Dogs packs vs Wolf Packs
Okay. Controversial post of the day....
How similar is dog psychology to wolf pack psychology?
A spin off from a previous debated topic, hope this thread remains factual and objective.
I was speaking to one of our wildlife conservationists this weekend, and raised the topic of domestication. She raised an interesting point. Horses, who have been domesticated for thousands of years (cave paintings suggest as far back as 30 000 years), raised on ranches and even in comfortable stables, STILL shy away from bushes/caves when on outrides. Why? Because their instinct doesn't know that 'lions dont live here anymore.'
Her point was, you cant domesticate instinct.
Thoughts on this? |
