Pets?

[Guest saij]

What do Sikhs think about keeping pets?

I would assume many people would say that it's wrong as we don't own any animal.

But my thinking is that these animals will be kept in a shop anyway, and will eventually be sold to someone who could treat them a lot worse than I would.

What do you think?

nothing wrong with keeping pets. everybody has pets. even guru sahibans kept pets. for example, guru arjun dev ji used to have this pista colored dog. and when guru hargobind sahib ji was born, the bahman caretaker dude, forgot his name, he brought either milk or dahi, i forget that part too, but yea he put poison in the milk for maharaj, and tired giving it to them, and maharaj wouldnt drink it, and guru arjun dev ji knew something was in the milk. so then maharaj told the dog to drink it. and even the dog knew there was poison in it, and wouldnt drink it, kept looking at maharaj, maharaj said koi ni, peelai, teri vi chaurasi kati javi gi.

and guru gobind singh ji maharaj had a dog that could speak punjabi.

heard this in katha by giani ji.

^^^ When guru sahib send zafarnama to aurangzeb then bhai daya singh ji who was heading singhs gave the letter to aurangzeb. There was a Dog outside court of the king who spoke in front of every one in punjabi that "in next life u will be a dog as well as a result of your sins.:

Some claim it was just any random dog. Some claim this dog used to eat the jhoot of langar of guru sahib and bhai Daya singh ji took it with them.

It is good question as some punjabis withthink that the pets are reincarnation of there family members. But it is better your family is with you than in someone else house ?

Really?

Many brahmgyanis can understand animals and speak to trees and nature and hear them speak back, it is not uncommon. It's films that make us think such things are impossible. Nothing is impossible, if it were we would be doubting gods power.
