Scapegoating the Pet

  "The pet did it." someone says as they've knocked down the lamp. So i think the pets get blamed for a lot of things they haven't done. 

  They are so innocent and yet people say things such as my dog ate my homework, or the dog pushed over the lamp while we were playing, ect. How come when we blame them no one thinks of it as a big deal I mean we are all animals so it's basically like blaming another person. 

  For example my friend left her home work out and  her bunny ate off the corner of her paper and she blamed it. I don't think that its fair to them i really wonder what they would say if they could talk about how the blame feels to them. If you were in there shoes how do you think you would feel and if so what would you do if you could do anything.
