HEALTHY PETS & PEOPLE

"There is NO PLACEBO effect in animals!"

That's why medical researchers use animals and why we brought Human & Canine Health information together in one "Place" so you can learn from your pets!

ANIMAL INSTINCT OR PRECOGNITION?

Barbara (BJ) Andrews, member SAAB

Dogs and many other animals, fish and plants, have stronger instincts and sensory perceptions than humans even though we are the dominant-superior race.

You may disagree at first glance but if you are a thinker, here’s a feast for your brain. Let's start with a nibble on something simple. You take for granted that your dog can smell and hear things that are unknown to you but no veterinary theologist can explain how animals “sense” things that are oblivious to us smarter humans.

In hundreds of documented cases, the only explanation is that animals can “see” into the future. Dogs have been documented to howl or fearfully pace well before a tornado is reported. We’re told that is because animals can detect changes in atmospheric pressure or electromagnetic fields. Perhaps.

What we know is that U.S. Government scientists have documented “Rats, weasels, snakes, and centipedes reportedly left their homes and headed for safety several days before a destructive earthquake.” ^{{Ref #1 USGS}}

When the first human became cognizant enough to notice such things, we realized that animals have amazing abilities that go far beyond sound, sight and scent. As our understanding advanced, we reasoned, based on watching animals more closely, that animals could also reason!

Forget that superior species stuff, if animals can’t reason then how can we explain their agitation becoming flight before an earthquake?

Your horse can’t play chess but he can sense danger - or hear it, as in ice cracking on ta frozen river. That’s a no-brainer and explains his refusal to cross the ice but what about elephants that foresee an earthquake hours before it hits? They feel it through their feet? Yeah, sure, but hours before any seismographs get a reading?

Snakes are known to come out of hibernation hours prior to an earthquake and it is an observable fact that animals, birds, and even insects can detect changes in atmospheric pressure or electromagnetic pulses.

We humans rely on the weatherman’s machines which are often slower to detect the warning signs of a tornado.

You’ve thought of other examples as you read this information but having gotten over childhood nightmares and been convinced “the boogie man” never existed, we humans beings tend to ignore that which we don’t understand.

So, if your horse suddenly “spooks” for no reason, you laugh and think nothing of it. You know horses are a lot flightier than birds even though both have been domesticated for thousands of years. But as a side thought, consider that birds and horses were trained and used in significantly different ways. Falconry was widely practiced in Iraq 3500 years BC. Horses weren’t subjugated by humans until 2200 BC (in eastern Europe).

By that time, humans were not as “connected” to nature so most horses were either “beasts of burden” or status symbols. Raptors and horses still work for humans but in definably different ways.

I heard you wondering about donkeys. That was so long ago no one really knows when or if they came before horses but we think asses were conscripted into serving humans over 7,000 years ago. Donkeys are so intelligent that they fool us into thinking they can’t think very well…

Since the written word and the advent of internet it is getting harder to tell if we humans are losing the natural instincts and psychic abilities nature gave us. Don’t ignore a “sense of foreboding” or that “spookey” feeling that makes us look behind ourselves instead of just paying attention to what’s ahead.

We may be humans but thankfully, we still retain some of our animal instincts. With the rising crime rate in 2024, we don’t need precognition to prod us into awareness!
