Animals and pets

I've always been an animal lover(I thing). I thing the animals are one of the creature most affected for the human decisions.

People(me including) destroy their world, their enviroment, and are cruel to them.

In some times, I really want to have pets, I love dogs, cats, turtles, hedgehogs.

But then I thing what It really meins. We try to give them a house (someone say "love"). 

But, they really want that? 

As long as people continue to believe that they have superiority and decision over the life of every being that does not equal their abilities, no differentiation can be made about which animals can "belong" to a domestic life.

So zoos still exist, wildlife animals still try to be domesticated, pharmaceuticals still experiment in them. And the industry continues to devour and abuse them, to use them.

I thing that in some cases we can be protectors of animals, we can be try to no destroyed all of the species, protect them from us and our life style. Not all venues are a zoos, also exist the nature and conservation reserves (bioparks).

I think it's important that these places exist to protect and secure endangered species, that they secure an environment to which the animals belong. Even, that they are not moved from their real habitat (their countries).

When I was a child I had a pet, Mona, she was my loyal friend. But when I was 7, she died because she was older. She just went to sleep and never woke up.

When I was 9, my grandmom received a puppy named Perla, she liked me a lot and I was happy. She was shy, but she always welcomed me by wagging her tail and playing.

I don't know if I was a good owner, but I tried to be responsible and did my best.

Now I have no pets, I think I would try to adopt an animal that needs shelter, but my situation does not allow me. So I will wait until I can contribute something when I can really afford it responsibly.

The story behind a photograph

In this summer I went to Machu Picchu with my older sister, we work a lot of to achieve it. Our travel was longer, we traveled many day from Arica(my older brother's house) to Aguas Caliente(village at the foot of the mountain), the journey from Cuzco to Agua Calientes was wonder because the landscape it is awesome.It was on this trip that I took this photograph.

When I see this image, I remember how I felt, and this is why I love it. I can remember what it was to travel with the car window down and the fresh air hitting my face. 

The daytime weather was good, was a sunny day, warm. We had a couple hours in the car at the morning and drove by this place at about 10am. The picture was taken in the highest point in the road, like 4000 metres above sea level. 

We did not stopped in the road, the driver was just driving and the landscape captivated us. 

Many people say that sometimes what is matters is no the destination, but the road. Most of the time I had a good time, I visited an awesome place. But this photo reminds me how beautiful and incredible the simple little things in the road are.
