		<description>I think it&#039;s fine to do energy work on an animal without the owner&#039;s permission or knowledge, if the animal requested it.  Again, it&#039;s the same idea of animals having free will and being their own agents.  

At the same time, I am strongly opposed to doing energy work on anyone, animal or human, without their consent.  To me that&#039;s a violation of privacy and an imposition.</description>

		<description>I have absolutely no issues talking or doing energy healing with animals without their owners&#039; approval/consent, especially if the animal is not treated appropriately. I do not believe anyone owns anyone else, whether it is another human or an animal. Animals have devoted their lives to us and I don&#039;t believe we need any one&#039;s approval, except theirs, to give them love and healing.
And if I feel the person will not agree or will feel offended, then I won&#039;t tell. I advocate the animals&#039; well-being and would do what it takes for their welfare.... but that&#039;s my point of view :)</description>

		<description>What do y&#039;all think about doing energy work without a human companion&#039;s permission? I have mixed feelings on this one, but have been asked by critters I&#039;ve encountered if I would help them and have done so...</description>

		<description>Surprised even to hear the quetion put...it would assume that the animals&#039; persons &quot;own&quot; them, wouldn&#039;t it??

The seagull thing is hilarious, and sad too, in that he&#039;s getting toxic food...hope he moves on to the natural grocery!!
Love to ya! Little Milton is eating regularly now, no more maggots (fingers crossed) and perking up.</description>

		<description>I think that some humans are fearful, and this idea of invasion of an animals privacy is really just a reflection of the fear of the invasion of their own privacy. I don&#039;t think that animals are paranoid about these things. Plus if they are not comfortable with someone they will turn or run away or ignore that person.

		<description>I was practicing listening this morning. I asked my Border Collie , Patches if he had anything he would like to tell me today. I did not get an answer so all must be well with him today. I then asked my horse, Tony, if he had anything to tell me today and to share with him my schedual so he would know when to expect to see me and get his meals, the impressions/feelings/images/ I recieved were of sending him healing love and healing energy, but not just from me but from everyone. I felt compelled to immediately post that request for Tony. ( maybe because I didn&#039;t want to forget?) Anyway, So for all of you listening I ask for you to  please send your love and healing energy to him. He is a 22 yr. old Grey Polish Arab Gelding. His name is Tony. He greatly appreciates your love.
Thank you,
Ruth</description>

		<description>I see no ethical issues with speaking with animals without their &quot;owner&#039;s&quot; permission, unless the goal was to glean information about the person.  Animals have free will, they can choose to communicate with whomever they please.  It might help them to do so.</description>

		<description>I am glad you brought this topic on. I just had an argument with someone about this subject. I was asked to contact a missing animal, but not by the person self. I contacted the animal and reported back to both of them. 

Then the person was not too happy about this, the animal was missing for a few weeks and she had in her mind allready buried her. She could not cope and accused me of doing something wrong.

The next day she gave permission to go on, but when I reported again, she same argument followed.  Later on she accused me on doing something unethical on an animalforum. She thought I would found the dog myself, and she would not hear anything about this anymore. She did not want to invest in a search I guess.

I know that says more about her then it does about me, but I did not feel very happy about things.  So how sorry I am about the missing dog, allthough maybe it is for the best so, I quitte investing my energy in this case.

But I guess you published this blog for my at the right time, and I will put in on my site with  your name, if thats ok with  you.&#039;</description>
