I take it you don't understand the concept of work either then?

Do you? Then you would be wrong. ;-)

So, please expand exactly what you mean by 'work' here and what
animals you think should be doing it and why?

Working animals like horses and dogs often lead a very happy life.

Ah, 'often'?

But I'd
guess that has escaped you.

DickHeadxx, is that you?

Ok, yes, you have quoted one of the scenarios where animals working
with humans is likely to be the least of the issues (of course you
would) but what YOU might need to consider is just how we might
normally get an animal to do what *we want* when it might not want to.

Traditionally is would be though fear and pain (circuses and 'breaking
horses' to ride etc), and it's still done coercively using play.

Every time whilst training a dog to do something for us we get
it's attention using a distraction (toy or food) we are influencing
it's behaviour to suit us, making it do something it would rarely
do (for us) if left to it's own devices, even if it had the skills /
ability to do it biologically / instinctively.

Just like you do when you walk the dog and stop it
****ing anywhere it feels like ****ing in the house etc.
