Maybe you are an Indigenous, Beings Rights or just love animals person, Maybe, one can have only 1-Spirit Animal or more than 1-Spirit Animals,
Either way what is your Spirit Animal or Animals?
& Why?

Since I believe the highest power that exists on Earth is in side of each of our brains, just different ways of functioning & use, I really do not believe in spirit part & any Indigenous people’s religions, but what everyone knows. Also makes the question I ask & my answer to it as outside box as it is.

Mine has always been-
‘Great White’, because they are most part what we know they are solitary animals, but males are also fathers, they take out the trash literally- will be scavengers & hunters & eaters of the dead & they are just below us & Orcas as predators. But I have never been able to have to meaningfully connections to any ‘Great White’, where as while I was at my lowest, especially just beginning teenage years, growing-up, leaning on dogs in similar situations.

My father’s parents lived next door & were pure breed German Shepards breeders & sellers, the males were either brought in from Germany or like most born there. It was horrible conditions, dog fights & Etc., I was bitten by a mother nursing puppies. It took me forever to see the previous of my grandparents, who treated me so awesome, nicest person I ever met was my grandmother. I HATE BREEDERS!!! So I can remember countless times walking through the large pens each one with tons of females, non-adult dogs & the male dog, but the more important times was petting the dogs & most importantly, laying my young head on the lead male’s stomach (only one feeling safe enough to do so) & looking up at the stars filled skies. Then about 16-years ago, I lost the Being that closest to me in my entire life (have yet to have a wife & will never have children), no family member comes even close, even my above mentioned grandmother- a mix lab & something else dog that I knew & trained from puppy to death. We were two-Being sharing one frame of minds.
One-set of days, it was just me, my not with it grandmother & the animals I care for, so coming to our front door, from a neighborhood walk, he had to protect both I & fellow lap dog from one of those African Ridgeback dogs trained to be a protection dog attacking us, on our own property, twice in two-days. He won he each time, thank you, Second time, with stomach sliced open (wound was such that had to heal on it’s own, just like my dog bite on calf & sliced-open thumb <because I was scared the dog I cared for was going to die, so Input my hand in the fight to pull the other dog away>), I thought after second time he was going to bleed-out & die, amazingly he survived a lived many more years, I merely have scars. Want a protection dog(s), then treat the dog(s) as family, ‘Dog Whisper’ trained & that is it & he/she (they) will die before you & family our species & any other species that is trained as his/her (their) family. The BS of training a dog to be tough & Etc…

My next Spirit Animal is Cats (non-demiscated animal) They are awesome models for our species’ activism. Currently, we have 2-adult cats, 1-as a tiny kitten was abandoned,but adopted us & other was adopted, as an adult, into our household, before previous cat, with his brother- who died 3-months later. The former tiny kitten is the well used stereotype, viewed as negative by others, when he is in last step before his food dish before him & does not happen right away, he meows, paces in place & uses soft paws, but while on leash walking outside & prevented from eating what he has hunts & catches or what he is trying to eat is forced out his mouth (he already ate), he growls & rises-up with threatening to use scratching claws & depending upon what is his mood may scratch me or the new & completely harmless & mothering (treats him & other cat as puppies) female Pitbull dog, reinforcing that the cats cannot be scared, let alone harmed in any way & practice her dog walking skills. He developed a new skill, from living with us, he jumps onto unlocked door handles & hangs on them until it opens & lets him outside or into another room. He also uses his in your face (sometimes literally) affection to retain trust in me-us & convince me-us to do something he wants, but not as important as getting outside, doing what he wants outside & food (on limit of how he allowed to eat, to maintain healthy weight). He will go anywhere to continue his un-paused or un-stopped demands. Yes, I only believe in PEACEFUL activism, but he is a model for activism campaigns & activist on going as far as possible, also using soft affection & learning new skills.
The last cat has never hurt us or any other species in our household (growled a few months ago, I was shocked, & raised paw for the very time, I almost fell over) & next to never hunts. He is the king of PEACEFUL passive aggression, uses whatever PEACEFUL tactic he needs: as horror style crying meow, that will not pause, until he gets what my-our attention-attentions, uses his inability to regularly use either two-cat boxes to express displeasure (yes, it is obvious) & like the previous cat he will go anywhere to continue his demands, not pause until gets what he wants & will continue if after achieving what he wants is not maintained as long as he wants, like the previously mentioned cat.
Thus both cats are awesome models for what I our species activism & activists MUST do to be successful! Seriously ‘The Black Panthers’ more appropriately name would have been ‘The Black House Cats’.
The cat species being models for our species’ activism campaigns & activists, thus so being a veteran activist & 2-decades long activism campaign organizer I choose Cat as one of my Spirit Animals.

So while everyone knows ‘The Great White’ is my favorite animal on Earth, from my efforts & my first Spirit Animal, The dog is my second favorite & my second Spirit Animal
&
The cat is my third favorite & my third Spirit Animal.
