VH 3588 Bonds of Love
Summary: Just what do we mean by that over used word "love"? At an animal service in Worcester Cathedral, we can see how we love our pets but do they love us? Do other animals feel love? If love means sacrifice, then bees do it - giving up their lives kamikaze style to protect the hive. Other animals make lesser sacrifices, like the Nile crocodile that devotes time and effort to its babies which talk back to their mother while still inside their shells. Or King Penguins, in the Arctic wilderness, nurturing their fluffy young. But love can also mean "bonding": like gorillas around a newborn, or baby ducks that "imprint" upon the first think they see. Other animals, like duetting gibbons or bay wrens, actually use song to stay together throughout their lives. So it does seem that animals feel love for each other, in their own particular ways. 027 Min. VIDEO 1996 Subject: PSYCHOLOGY Series: OURSELVES AND OTHER ANIMALS

It is really only humans who kill more than they need - whether North Sea fisherman of Japanese dolphin catchers. Other animals tend to keep a better balance with nature. 027 Min.

Or the prisoners - murderers, rapists - serving life sentences with pets for cell mates. Or even those who bury their family pets in prettified coffins in animal cemeteries across America. Other people use pets for therapy (an animal can lower stress levels and blood pressure), or to improve their political or public image.
