my personal recount

Some thinhs change our lives drastically.The one thing that changed my life and perception about animals was my first pet-a terrapin.Although we never gave it a name,we wre very attached to it and my whole family was very sad when we had to release him into a pond because he was growing exceptionally fast and his tank was getting too small for him.I never really thought that animals had actual feelings.One day when i returned from school,i was feeling very bored so i decided o play with it.Little did i know that it did not like to be human-handled and i tried to control it but it was constantly trying to squirm away.Finally,it reached the limit of frustration and did its business on me.That was one of my most disgusting encounters but at least i understood that animals have feelings too and that we must treat them the way we want to be treated.
