Humans have been related to other animals during their entire evolutionary process, using them as important promoters of their wellbeing. But this instrumental relationship is only one part of the human-animal connection, since it also develops curiosity about living beings and a propensity to generate empathy and even fear about them. According to the biophilia hypothesis proposed by Wilson (1984), through this contact over many thousands of years, humans developed an innate tendency to affiliate with other living beings and life processes. In fact, over time and in different cultures, people have established a strong connection with animals, and many cultural traditions imbue them with a symbolic value (Walsh, 2009). This seems to be the reason why the relationship established with animals has no parallel with the one which occurs with beings from other kingdoms, primarily through the possibility of interaction and reciprocity of their behaviour, especially with the more complex ones. Of the animals, mammals seem to have a special place in human cultures, since they receive human attention more than any other taxonomic group, perhaps with the exception of birds (Kellert, 1996). This researcher explains that these animals generate a positive aesthetic response in people, and they can even contribute to an appreciation of the landscapes which they inhabit. Therefore, it seems that animals can function as inductors for the ecosystems where they belong.
