[Heart Exclusive Lore] - Civil And Wild Dog Comparisons!
🕑 Added 2019-09-29 18:20:17 +0000 UTCWhile the animals in the big city may seem highly civilized and well in control of their natural instincts, that isn't the case across all parts of the world, or even one singular region.
Outside both big and small organized settlements, animals leading lives outside advanced civilization fill the many forests, mountains and oceans of the World. These are generally just as sapient as their civil counterparts, but live in far more simple conditions, either by choice, or because their instincts far overpower the ability or desire for a developed society.
As you might imagine, numbers can vary quite a bit by species. Certain animals (smaller dogs and cats, for example) may have far more of their numbers living in cities, towns and villages, whereas others (crocodiles, spiders, to name a few) are more likely to be found as wild predators. Fortunately, these statistics don't normally make for segregation within civil settlements.
Things become a bit blurrier, however, when it comes to the interaction between civil and wild animals. For the most part, wild animals are allowed their own spaces and ways of life outside of cities, where they may hunt and live as they see fit. Hurting or harassing them is against the laws of civil governments, but the wilds themselves don't always worry when it comes to hurting civil animals; Being able to speak doesn't necessarily make them very easy to persuade or convince away from what they might see as easy prey.
Certain societies frown heavily on wilds and behavior resembling them. This doesn't keep even the highest class of politicians from walking on all fours when alone in their apartments, but table manners, upright standing and clothing have evolved into a staple of superiority in the eyes of many.
On the flipside, certain smaller villages and even countries seek to foster positive relations for all animals, and remove the judgment between their different ways of life.
Historically, there exist instances of civil and wild animals chatting, befriending, and even falling in love with one another. Cases like these are often what prompt transitions of wild animals to join civilization, but also for civil animals to abandon it in favor of their instincts and newfound families.
