Don't need to, you are projecting human behaviors onto an animal to satisfy your own emotional needs to an extent that the animal is not getting what it needs.
It's called anthropomorphism and I have a pet(haha) peeve against it.
Mostly I bite my tongue(fingers) and move on.
But not today, sensitivity due to the anniversary of my sons death coming up soon may have pushed me over the edge this time(maybe another misplacement of human emotion), sorry.
