I like to listen to a lot of radio while driving. It was a while ago. As usual, I was driving while listening to the radio, and the embarrassing sentence came into my ear. "There are a lot of people who keep pets these days, and so do I."
From the chick who lived at 100 won in front of elementary school to the dog who lives with him now, he wrote many stories about animals. It was a heart warming content. However, the word 'pets' in the middle of the story has been disturbed.
After listening to the radio, I focused on it for a week and looked around. From the front door of the mart, from the Internet articles to even the zoo announcements, I could find the words 'pet' and 'pet dog' all over the place. Why is the word 'pet' irritating? I am a professional disability? The reason is in the "Wan" of the pet.
● It is a problem of a pet "Wan"
There is no problem because 'pet' is a love affair. By the way, 'Wan' is a harassing toys. I have the same meaning as to play, to play, to ridicule, to despise, to demean, to toy. When you play toys, "Wan" is the right mocker.
In the end, 'pet' is interpreted as 'lovely toy animal', and 'pet dog' is interpreted as 'lovely toy dog'. I did not know when I was a child, but after knowing the intimacy of my pets, the word 'pet' started to hurt my ear.
● Animals instead of pets
So, what words should I use instead of pets? We already have a good word for 'companion animal'. The companion 's companion is mated with the companion. It has the meaning of a partner, a companion animal, for a lifetime.
Dr. Conrad Lorenz, an animal behaviorologist from Austria, first proposed the use of the term 'companion animal' instead of 'pet'. In Korea, how would you interpret the companion animal? Two candidates for 'companion animal' and 'companion animal' At the end, 'companion animal' was finally selected.
In 2017, the Korean Pet Pet Food Association, the Korea Rural Economic Institute, and the Agriculture, Forestry and Livestock Quarantine Headquarters conducted surveys on the current status of companion animals from 2000 to 5000 people, respectively. As a result, it was surveyed that 5,630,000 households were surveyed by Pet Food Association, 5,740,000 households by Rural Economic Research Institute, and 5,930,000 households by quarantine headquarters. The average is 577 million households. By multiplying the average population by households, the number of companion animals is about 14.81 million.
The number of people raising companion animals reached about 6 million households and 15 million people.
But on the other side, more than 100,000 animals are abandoned each year. Every day, 300 animals become organic animals in companion animals. A person who ties a dog to a car, a puppy eats stools. He goes back to the sale shop, throws a puppy, throws it in a hotel, throws animals, and has a cruel zoology.
We need to look at whether our society has an animal respect for the age of fifteen million companion animals. I think that 'respect for and respect for animals' should start with the use of the names 'pets' and 'dogs' rather than 'pets' and 'dogs'.
The poet Kim Chun - soo said in <Flower>, 'Before he called his name, he was just a gesture.' Just calling a name correctly means giving it an essential meaning. Now, let's try to use the words intentionally, pets, pets instead of companions, dogs.
