[QUOTE="Banjo, post: 996838, member: 17304"] I've often wondered about the attachment between man and animals, while most animals have a fear of humans, some seem to have a curiosity about humans as well. The interaction from birth seems to have a lot to do with their comfort or being at ease around us. Like handling a puppy or kitten when they are little. Man has interacted with cattle, dogs, sheep, goats for thousands of years, whereas it may not be as easy to halter break a buffalo or milk one, since there has never been that interaction to my knowledge. Also the intelligence of an animal also plays a factor, for example, dolphins interact with humans and seem to like people a whole lot, many stories i've heard of sailors shipwrecked at sea and pushed to shore by dolphins, they are also considered to be about the most intellingent animal. Pigs rank up there high close to dolphins on the intellingence scale,maybe that would explain why pot bellied pigs have become a popular pet these days. [/QUOTE]
