Are you kind to the living things around you?

I've noticed practically all wild animals are more responsive and sometimes playful if you talk to them. Of course it depends on the type of animal, and the experiences they've had. But it seems like most animals are more willing to chill out around humans if we not only don't pose a threat, but we at least quietly, verbally interact. For example, there's a tribe of rabbits living in our yard, and by extension, the whole neighborhood. The rabbits keep rabbiting each other, producing more rabbits to rabbit around all over again. A few of these rabbits spend a large amount of time hovering around our garden, but lately, we've begun talking to the rabbits as they watch the tasty veggies grow, telling them to eat the grass, that's our food! We're not chasing them out, but it's become a semi-humorous game of wits between us and the rabbits. My girlfriend saw one rabbit all but napping in the garden. They probably like the smell. Animals are perfectly willing to be friendly to us, it just takes some patience with communication.
