Do you put a human value on your house/outdoor pets?

Hi, if you mean treating my pets as i would another human being, then yes i do, i dont have a pet right now, but i have had many in my life and have always loved them very much, and treated them with special love and care, i think they are worth just like a human being and have personality and character just like people do!

My pets are priceless and they are very much part of my family. Bingo the white fronted Amazon cost his original owner £600 in 1987. Secret and Magic the miniature poodles cost me £395 in 2004 and £450 in 2006. No amount of money could replace them because I love them so very much indeed. I have two human children and my pets are also like my children. Bingo is 21 years old, Secret will be 4 years old this month and Magic is 2 years old. My pets live in my house and my dogs enjoy going in my garden and out for walks.

Do you mean treating them as you would a person? If so then yeah my family does this. We respect our pets like humans and we do cherish them. Our dogs are so spoiled and I think they know it, lol. However, I do realize that they are in fact dogs and sometimes you can't expect the most of them.

i do have pets and i do put human values in them. it is important for people like us to put human values on our pets.. pets can understand what we humans are saying and they also have feelings and emotions.. People are also tasked to be in control to train animals. In fact, here in my country, a lot of animal owners have trained their pets and placed human value on them and their pets include cats, dogs, mice, monkeys and a lot more..
