How to change your behavior so that other people understand you correctly and take you more @

If you disable the sound while watching movies, you can notice how much we actually use our facial expressions and body language. The information communicated this way is easily received by other people and it gives an emotional context to our words and actions. Joe Navarro, an expert at non-verbal communication, reveals the secrets for how to manipulate people to get them to do what you want in his books and public speeches.
After reading his recommendations, we at Bright Side want to figure out how to read other people and why our words don’t have as much impact on them as our behaviors.
Why a lie detector doesn’t work and even experts have a hard time detecting liars in real life
A person’s behavior can give us an idea of what they are really thinking, but it can’t give away the fact that they are lying. We can suspect that a person is trying to hide something only if we see that they are acting out of the ordinary. This is how a polygraph works: it tries to tell that a person is feeling nervous while answering a specific question. But it can’t determine the reason why someone is feeling this way. This is why polygraphs can’t be used in court. People can also detect other people’s signals, but we often don’t even notice that. For example, someone talks to us in a kind voice and is being friendly, but something tells us to be alert. This is not about our life experience: since childhood, children can tell the difference between a real smile and a fake one, and they even use them when needed.
The limbic system of the brain is responsible for our feelings and emotions, our imagination, our reactions, and our adaptation to a changing environment. The ability to read other people and manipulate them using non-verbal communication appears in early childhood. Children can control their mothers, which is evident in something called "the still face experiment.’
Even without a big communication experience with people, babies quickly detect emotions on faces and interact with their mothers without using any words.
Mimics and other non-verbal signals of the face
When talking, we might close our eyes, not only because we’re tired, but also when we don’t like something, as if we don’t want to see something. What is interesting is that people who are born blind and rely on hearing close their eyes in moments like this too, not their ears.
Wrinkling the skin above the nose means that a person doesn’t approve of something or sees a problem. A person may be unsatisfied with something or just not understand what is going on around them.
When we raise our eyebrows quickly, it means we are greeting someone, showing our joy, or liking something in a situation, when there is no time to talk, like for example, if you are wearing a mask.
A rabbit nose is the wrinkles we get when we are disgusted with something. Also, this is often a side effect of Botox injections: often, when people try to get rid of the wrinkles around their eyes, the neighboring muscles might take on their functions.
We squint when we are trying to see something better or when we see a bright light. But during communication, especially if the lip corners are a bit low and the forehead is tense, it might mean that a person doesn’t like what they see or hear.
We blink faster when we are in an unpleasant or stressful situation. It doesn’t mean that a person is hiding something, this is just a reaction to stress. For example, they may be trying to remember some very important information.
The more stressed we feel, the more we hide our lips. Many politicians look like this when they are asked unexpected questions. But it doesn’t have to be negative: experienced plumbers will also purse their lips if they’re having trouble fixing an ordinary pipe.
Facial expressions can be asymmetrical when what you are thinking is different from what you are doing. For example, if you are smiling, but your eye muscles are tense.
Touching your nose, a half-open mouth, and coughing a little bit are usually considered to be the signs of a liar. But in fact, we behave like this when we are trying to calm ourselves down. The reason for the stress may not indicate that the person is lying, but the fact that someone thinks they are lying.
If a person is touching the inside of their cheek with their tongue, this is a sign that they are nervous. You can see this behavior when someone is doing a difficult task or signing an important contract.
Body language, random gestures, and appearances
We are used to thinking that crossed arms are a closed position that a person takes when they are trying to shield themselves from something unpleasant. In reality, this is just another attempt to try and calm down by hugging ourselves to make ourselves feel more confident.
We lean our heads to the side a little when a conversation is interesting to us. If we start nodding just a little bit, it means that we agree with what is being said.
The position when a person places their hands in front of them so that the fingers are touching, but there is a distance between the palms sends a simple message — they are sure in what they are talking about. This hand position makes every single word more powerful.
Touching the neck, near the jugular vein, means that a person is feeling lost and defenseless. If you see someone act like this, try to show more empathy to make the situation more comfortable and win the person’s trust.
When someone places their palm on the top of their chest, this is a signal of anxiety.
When something makes us feel anxious, we can feel that it is hot and that there is not enough air to breathe. We don’t just touch our neck, but we start pulling on our collar or loosen our tie, as if it might help.
While sitting at a table, we hide our hands or pull them toward our body when we hear or see something we disagree with. And vice versa: if someone is sitting with their hands on a table, it means they like what they are hearing and they are interested in talking to you.
The position where the hands are on the waist can mean a lot of things. If the thumbs are facing forward, and the others are facing back, this means the person is not interested.
We treat a part of the space around us as a continuation of our bodies, this is why we don’t like it when someone is too close. Especially, if they are also using a lot of body language while standing close to us. Your emotional connection determines how close you can be to someone. When there is no emotional connection, people try to sit or stand as far as possible away from each other.
Cultural and psychological differences
Many people think that when someone is looking away, this means that they are lying. In fact, this lack of eye contact may be caused by cultural, social, or psychological differences. In some countries, it is okay to look someone in the eye briefly, and in others, it is really rude. Maybe a person is an introvert, and they try to avoid any contact with other people. It is better to watch out for the muscles around the eyes: they will be tense if the person is feeling angry, uncomfortable, or stressed.
It is important to not pay attention to a specific gesture, but to the difference between the regular behavior of a person and what they usually don’t do. Otherwise, you may misinterpret the signals. For example, the things you may see as a sign of anxiety may be totally normal for an active person. And vice versa: if a person has no empathy, they quickly learn to create the necessary emotions of the face to manipulate the reactions of other people.
Empathy is the universal language of people all around the world. It is based on the tactile sensations of the present moment. The world changed its attitude toward HIV-positive people when Princess Diana touched a child with this virus. Her behavior even made doctors stop wearing masks when working with HIV-positive patients. We influence other people with our behavior and we give the most powerful signals through close physical contact when someone lets us into their private space.
How to change your behavior so that other people understand you correctly and take you more seriously
Pay attention to the face . We avoid people who have wrinkles near the bridge of their nose when they are calm. It means that this person is often angry or stressed.

This seems to be quite simple, but in reality, it never hurts to practice. Put a mirror in front of you, look into it, and smile while recording this on camera. A beautiful and kind smile is the best way to win someone’s trust and make them like you.

Forbidden things have their own charm and animals seem to know that. When you have a pet, even with all the training in the world, you may still come home to chewed slippers, destroyed toothpaste, or a ruined dinner.

brightside--2020-05-27--10 Celebrities Who Decided to Not Have Kids

10 Celebrities Who Decided to Not Have Kids Many Hollywood celebrities have decided to not have kids , and they are also not afraid of revealing their reasons for why they don ’ t want them .
A lot of them have received harsh criticism from the media and the public for their decision .
Despite nobody really having the right to judge if you want to have kids or not , these celebrities justified their decision with more than one powerful argument .
The reasons they gave vary from celebrity to celebrity , but they are all equally valid @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from being scared of giving birth to protecting the environment .
After a rumor started circulating among the tabloids saying that she was pregnant , actress Jennifer Aniston , known for her role as Rachel in Friends , wrote an article and made a few statements that not only were extremely empowering , but that she has also repeated several times during interviews to show her conviction .
You can read the original text here .
During an interview with Vogue in 2016 ( the same year ) , the famous actress stated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s fixation with celebrities physical appearance and the presence or lack of kids in their lives .
And in 2018 she added that when a woman decides not to become a mother , society sees her as a selfish person for wanting to focus on her career .
“ Maybe my purpose on this planet isn ’ t to procreate ” is one of the most significant statements she gave during the interview that touched the world .
She also expressed her discontent with the popular image women get when they decide @ @ @ @ @ @ @ children after a certain age , something that doesn ’ t happen with men who find themselves in the same situation .
Her call to follow one ’ s dreams despite what society says , gives us food for thought .
Jon Hamm was in a relationship with actress Jennifer Westfeldt , also a Grey ’ s Anatomy scriptwriter , up until 2015 , the same year in which she ended their relationship because she and Hamm disagreed on the topic of whether to have kids .
The Mad Men star lost his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his father at the age of 20 , which explains why he doesn ’ t feel prepared to face the challenge of fatherhood , as he declared in Us Weekly .
“ I ’ d make a terrible father , ” he concluded .
On the other hand , he is very engaged with animal causes .
He and now ex-girlfriend Westfeldt adopted Cora , a mixed-breed dog , 17 years ago .
In 2015 , when he won the Emmy for his performance as Don Draper in Mad Men , he actually @ @ @ @ @ @ @ whole audience .
That very same year , during an interview with People magazine , he confessed that doing that changed his life forever .
Today , he has even joined forces with ShelterMeTV to promote animal adoption , specifically for mixed-breed dogs , instead of buying a purebred .
Many women wouldn ’ t mind having children with Jon Hamm one bit , who in 2012 was chosen as one of the hottest men alive by People magazine , together with actors Ryan Reynolds and Jesse Williams .
Nevertheless , Jon Hamm @ @ @ @ @ @ @ time and efforts in promoting the animal cause .
Do you agree with him ?
Rather than being crazy and stupidly in love , like his character from There ’ s Something About Mary , actor Matt Dillon has been really picky when it comes to love .
We know that Cameron Diaz was his first true love , like he declared during an interview with CBS News , and that his relationship with her led him to reevaluate his most fundamental life choices , including marriage and having children .
Nevertheless , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we ’ ve seen him “ holding hands ” with other girls , Dillon has basically remained single .
Still , when it comes to marriage , the actor that turned 56 in 2020 can ( and probably will ) still surprise us because since 2015 he has maintained a committed relationship with actress Roberta Mastromichele .
Like he declared during an interview with the Daily Mail in 2017 , they got engaged , and in 2019 they were seen on a very romantic date in Rome , but there ’ s still @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but still highly anticipated , wedding .
When , in 2015 , actress Renée Zellweger reemerged on the public scene by proudly walking around the streets of London with a big pregnant belly , fans were completely astonished .
Many of those fans asked themselves why and how the actress changed her mind regarding having kids .
Unfortunately , —or not— the baby bump that was on its way of becoming the scoop of the year wasn ’ t real .
Zellweger was just wearing a pregnant costume that was part of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Bridget Jones ’ Baby .
The Texan actress told Us Weekly that she accepted the role because of the personal admiration she had for the character .
She said that her alter-ego , Jones , is always beyond social expectations and social pressure and that she always gets over what people think of her .
The actress also thinks that having kids is chaos she ’ s just happy being an aunt , since she gets to leave .
Even though in this part of the trilogy , the character is taken @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Zellweger continues to think that a woman doesn ’ t need to have kids to find happiness .
Made popular by many movies and clips , among which Fatboy Slim ’ s “ Weapon of Choice ” where he showed his tap dance skills , actor Cristopher Walken , a born and raised New Yorker , has been happily married since 1969 .
He has a marriage that is to be envied : he and his wife live happily with their cats instead of having children , like he himself confessed to The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ also attributed his emotional and professional success precisely to him and his wife not wanting to have kids .

Many Hollywood celebrities have decided to not have kids, and they are also not afraid of revealing their reasons for why they don’t want them. A lot of them have received harsh criticism from the media and the public for their decision. Despite nobody really having the right to judge if you want to have kids or not, these celebrities justified their decision with more than one powerful argument. The reasons they gave vary from celebrity to celebrity, but they are all equally valid and worthy of consideration. They range from being scared of giving birth to protecting the environment.
Bright Side wants to reveal some of these reasons and talk about how these 10 courageous celebrities have decided to not become parents. We can tell you, it’s for sure food for thought.
1. Jennifer Aniston
After a rumor started circulating among the tabloids saying that she was pregnant, actress Jennifer Aniston, known for her role as Rachel in Friends, wrote an article and made a few statements that not only were extremely empowering, but that she has also repeated several times during interviews to show her conviction. You can read the original text here. During an interview with Vogue in 2016 (the same year), the famous actress stated that she was upset by the public’s fixation with celebrities physical appearance and the presence or lack of kids in their lives. And in 2018 she added that when a woman decides not to become a mother, society sees her as a selfish person for wanting to focus on her career. “Maybe my purpose on this planet isn’t to procreate” is one of the most significant statements she gave during the interview that touched the world. She also expressed her discontent with the popular image women get when they decide not to marry or not to have children after a certain age, something that doesn’t happen with men who find themselves in the same situation. Her call to follow one’s dreams despite what society says, gives us food for thought.
2. Jon Hamm
Jon Hamm was in a relationship with actress Jennifer Westfeldt, also a Grey’s Anatomy scriptwriter, up until 2015, the same year in which she ended their relationship because she and Hamm disagreed on the topic of whether to have kids. The Mad Men star lost his mother at the age of 10 and his father at the age of 20, which explains why he doesn’t feel prepared to face the challenge of fatherhood, as he declared in Us Weekly. “I’d make a terrible father,” he concluded. On the other hand, he is very engaged with animal causes. He and now ex-girlfriend Westfeldt adopted Cora, a mixed-breed dog, 17 years ago. In 2015, when he won the Emmy for his performance as Don Draper in Mad Men, he actually thanked his pet in front of the whole audience. That very same year, during an interview with People magazine, he confessed that doing that changed his life forever. Today, he has even joined forces with ShelterMeTV to promote animal adoption, specifically for mixed-breed dogs, instead of buying a purebred. Many women wouldn’t mind having children with Jon Hamm one bit, who in 2012 was chosen as one of the hottest men alive by People magazine, together with actors Ryan Reynolds and Jesse Williams. Nevertheless, Jon Hamm might be right to focus all his time and efforts in promoting the animal cause. Do you agree with him?
3. Matt Dillon
Rather than being crazy and stupidly in love, like his character from There’s Something About Mary, actor Matt Dillon has been really picky when it comes to love. We know that Cameron Diaz was his first true love, like he declared during an interview with CBS News, and that his relationship with her led him to reevaluate his most fundamental life choices, including marriage and having children. Nevertheless, after their break up, even if we’ve seen him “holding hands” with other girls, Dillon has basically remained single. Still, when it comes to marriage, the actor that turned 56 in 2020 can (and probably will) still surprise us because since 2015 he has maintained a committed relationship with actress Roberta Mastromichele. Like he declared during an interview with the Daily Mail in 2017, they got engaged, and in 2019 they were seen on a very romantic date in Rome, but there’s still no clear date for the hypothetical, but still highly anticipated, wedding.
4. Renée Zellweger
When, in 2015, actress Renée Zellweger reemerged on the public scene by proudly walking around the streets of London with a big pregnant belly, fans were completely astonished. Many of those fans asked themselves why and how the actress changed her mind regarding having kids. Unfortunately, —or not— the baby bump that was on its way of becoming the scoop of the year wasn’t real. Zellweger was just wearing a pregnant costume that was part of the attire for Bridget Jones’ third release, Bridget Jones’ Baby. The Texan actress told Us Weekly that she accepted the role because of the personal admiration she had for the character. She said that her alter-ego, Jones, is always beyond social expectations and social pressure and that she always gets over what people think of her. The actress also thinks that having kids is chaos she’s just happy being an aunt, since she gets to leave. Even though in this part of the trilogy, the character is taken in the adventure that is maternity, Zellweger continues to think that a woman doesn’t need to have kids to find happiness.
5. Christopher Walken
Made popular by many movies and clips, among which Fatboy Slim’s “Weapon of Choice” where he showed his tap dance skills, actor Cristopher Walken, a born and raised New Yorker, has been happily married since 1969. He has a marriage that is to be envied: he and his wife live happily with their cats instead of having children, like he himself confessed to The Sacramento Bee during an interview. He also attributed his emotional and professional success precisely to him and his wife not wanting to have kids. When the journalist asked about his expectations for the upcoming years, the actor, who has dedicated his life to acting in movies and theaters —with German ascendance from his father’s side and Scottish from his mother’s side— said: “I’d like to continue (acting). I have no children, no hobbies.” He then added that, aside from cooking, acting is what drives him. He accepts any type of character, just for the sake of it and the pleasure of doing what he likes. When it comes to cats, he feels closer to them than to people, he confessed in an exclusive interview during the promotional campaign for Nine Lives with Sensacine.
6. Kim Cattrall
Famous British actress Kim Cattrall confessed that about 20 years ago she had to choose between in-vitro fertilization and continuing to work on Sex and the City, where she played Samantha. Like we now know, she went for the second option. Despite sometimes regretting her choice, she confessed the following to Vanity Fair: “I think that maternal instinct is something that all women have, but obviously destiny, time, and luck don’t allow all of us to become a mother.” She also added that she has now become a mentor for younger actresses. “I don’t want to be your biological mom, but this allows me to be something in between a mother, an aunt, and a friend that is giving me back much more than what I give.”
7. Helen Mirren
This beloved British actress that is currently 74 years old declared during an interview for The Telegraph that not having kids, for our culture and especially for women, is a taboo. Whereas for Vogue UK (as quoted in Mail Online) added: “What? No children? Well, you’d better get on with it, old girl,” I’d say, “No! F*** off”!" In a more comfortable setting with Mail Online, Mirren confessed that since she was very young, she suffered from tokophobia (the irrational fear of having to give birth), which is a more common condition than you might think. The tenacious actress said that, when she was a kid, she overheard her mom speaking on the phone with someone and telling them the details of her last labor, how painful it was, and since then, she hasn’t been able to forget it. Mirren, who has been married to director Taylor Hackford since 1997, might not have made it to where she is today in her career if she had become a mother.
8. Dolly Parton
The iconic Dolly Parton has designed her own doll line together with her theme park called Dollywood which can be compared with Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and thanks to which, she has become a role model for girls (and adults) all around the world. But despite the fact that the singer and businesswoman has focused all her energy on making a successful career, she has also managed to find a successful balance with her philanthropist activities through the Dollywood Foundation, created to promote reading and country music, give grants and scholarships, and to financially help a great number of NGO, non-governmental organizations, that are dedicated to helping children and adults in need.
9. Winona Ryder
Actress Winona Ryder who, from one day to the next, became recognized as a pioneer icon of the Gothic subculture thanks to her part as Lydia Deetz in Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice, has at times expressed her wish to become a mother, but now that she has turned 45, she has realized that motherhood might be something that belongs more to the characters she plays in movies and series, than to her daily life. She confessed to liking kids, and to being very warm and affectionate with them. That was one of the reasons that led her to work on Netflix’s Stranger Things, where she’s surrounded by kids. But overall, she believes that having children is a lot of work and if she decides to have one, she will have to take a break from work, which she fears will ruin her career.
10. Leonardo DiCaprio
Leonardo DiCaprio, famous for his relationships with women younger than 25, as the Daily Mail revealed, has declared himself an ardent defender of the environment and vegan cause. He has openly campaigned against animal abuse and for a greener future. His more than active participation via his Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation is very well-known and it could have even negatively affected his long-awaited Oscar award, which finally arrived with The Revenant. DiCaprio uses commercial flights instead of flying using a private jet, he drives a hybrid-electric car, and has installed solar panels to power his house, according to the biography written by Douglas Wight. His speeches about politics and climate change are also very well-known. Even as he won the Oscar in 2016, his speech was centered around climate change. When Rolling Stone interviewed him on January of that same year and asked about his thoughts on marriage and fatherhood, he said: “Do you mean do I want to bring children into a world like this? If it happens, it happens.” On the other hand he also said that because he had a difficult childhood, interacting with kids and seeing them suffer is the last thing he would like to see happen.

Animals in TV series can speak , make gourmet meals , and even perform detective investigations .

They bear a strong resemblance to the “ dire wolves ” that are in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ve become popular among the fans of the series .

G-Force ( 2009 ) has inspired parents to buy guinea pigs for their kids .
Disney ’ s 2009 film , G-Force , gave birth to the adorable depiction of guinea pigs .

During the late ’ 80s and mid ’ 90s , ninja turtle @ @ @ @ @ @ @ kids .
The cutting edge films , as well as the animated series , inspired an increase in the fame of these reptilian pets , huge numbers of which were later deserted or even flushed down toilets .

101 Dalmatians ( 1961 and 1996 ) caused people to buy Dalmatians and then leave them because they were “ inconvenient.
” The aftermath of 101 Dalmatians was like a bomb for dog-breeders who started receiving numerous orders for the Dalmatian dogs .
As you can likely guess , huge numbers of these dogs were later deserted after people discovered that Dalmatians are extremely energetic dogs and grow to become big balls of playfulness @ @ @ @ @ @ @ didn ’ t translate to real life , as the dog owners would likely have to sacrifice costly furniture and fancy wallpaper .
In the year following the 1996 cutting edge remake , one Dalmatian rescue team in Miami claimed to have gotten 130 Dalmatians by September , a number that would regularly have taken them 2 and half years to reach .
Cruella de Vil herself would be stunned by these figures .

Ratatouille ( 2007 ) , the charismatic rat , inspired people to buy rats as pets .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Ratatouille filled people ’ s minds with false expectations regarding real rats , leading them to believe that they were cute by nature , but of course , the real deal couldn ’ t compete with the animated depiction .
As reported by the British pet chain , Pets at Home , their rat sales increased twofold after the movie went live .
We hope the new pet owners didn ’ t let their rats hang out near their cooking supplies !
Believe it or not , abandoning pet rats isn ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Larimer County Humane Society had to open an investigation after they found more than 77 abandoned domestic rats in 2 open spaces .
According to CBS Denver , the humane society said that all the rats were once pets and were abandoned in cruel living conditions .

Pixar ’ s Finding Nemo and Finding Dory pushed the species of clownfish to a threatening place .
9 .
The Men In Black movie sparked the purchasing of pugs .
Bonus : The “ Dulux ” paint advertisement inspired the immense sales @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pets because of “ trends ” that are driven by popular culture rather than their “ functional traits.
” In other words , no matter how big it may grow , how much it slobbers , or how much of your belongings it may eat , if it looks attractive in a movie , we want it regardless of the repercussions .
But we need to remember that any living creature has its own right to live a happy life and doesn ’ t deserve to be someone ’ s temporary toy .

Animals in TV series can speak, make gourmet meals, and even perform detective investigations. We adore them for being cute and smart, and after watching an animal-featured movie, we immediately have the urge to buy a pet. But once we find one, we soon realize they can’t cook like the rat from Ratatouille, nor do they have a wonderful sense of humor like the guinea pig from G-Force. The veil of charm falls down, causing people to abandon their pets — and unfortunately, this happens often and is a cruel statistic nowadays.
We at Bright Side couldn’t help but share some stories about how important it is to think realistically when getting a pet after watching a pet-featured film. There’s a bonus at the end of the article proving not only movies influence people’s decisions.
1. Game of Thrones fans started buying huskies like crazy and then abandoned them with the same enthusiasm.
When you go for a walk, you can see huskies everywhere and probably have wondered how their owners cope with them in their houses given that they’re not tiny dogs and are likely to bring some inconvenience to people’s everyday lives.
These dogs are bred for sled-pulling rather than for living in apartments. They bear a strong resemblance to the “dire wolves” that are in Game of Thrones, so they’ve become popular among the fans of the series.
As a result of this fad, Blue Cross noticed a sharp rise in abandoned huskies that have been surrendered at animal shelters since the first season of the show in 2011. There was one husky named Alaska whose story was very sad: she was surrendered 6 times over the 4 years she’d been alive.
Huskies are known for being vocal and having major separation anxiety. When they’re left alone, they start crying so loudly that your neighbors, who probably love peace and quiet, may become unhappy.
2. The Harry Potter books and movies made people want owls as domestic pets.
While watching the Harry Potter movies, we can’t help but admire how Harry gets along with his adorable owl, Hedwig. It may seem like there’s nothing easier than taking care of an owl. But in reality, owls are not like domestic parrots, and keeping them is a real challenge. But this fact didn’t stop fans from buying owls during the 2000s.
After the film was broadcast in its final version in 2011, many owl owners became disenchanted with these trendy pets and decided to abandon them. It turns out that to be able to keep an owl, you have to be aware of all the “surprises” that this freedom-loving, wild bird may bring to your life. For example, owls can’t stand cuddling or coming into frequent contact with humans because it’s entirely against their nature. You’ll have to feed them with fresh meat and yes, you’ll need to buy them rats to eat. They hunt at night, so you’ll need to be prepared for this as well.
A worker at an owl sanctuary in North Wales said that before the movie’s release, they only had 6 owls in their care, and later that number shot up to 100. This is the price that was paid by the innocent birds who were not to blame for people’s ignorance.
3. Babe (1995), an adorable story about a pig, caused people to forget that the animals actually grew.

Many people didn’t pay that much attention to the fact that pigs start out tiny and cute before growing to be several hundred pounds. The year of the movie’s release, an animal foundation in Las Vegas had 5 pigs for adoption and were worried that even more were coming.
There’s a sad story of Puggy the pig, who at 12 weeks old, was abandoned by his previous owner who moved and just left him there without caring that the animal would die of starvation. Luckily for Puggy, he was discovered by the animal rescue group, but similar cases don’t always have the same happy ending.

5. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990) gave birth to the cruelest abandonment of turtles.
During the late ’80s and mid ’90s, ninja turtle craziness hit pretty much every family with kids. The cutting edge films, as well as the animated series, inspired an increase in the fame of these reptilian pets, huge numbers of which were later deserted or even flushed down toilets. This “turtle mania” was sad to the point that, in 2014, compassionate groups encouraged families not to repeat the past mistakes, before the most current release. “Unfortunately, children do not realize that real turtles do not fly, perform stunts, or do any of the exciting moves that fictional movie turtles do,” the co-founders of the American Tortoise Rescue said, in an open letter to parents.
This turtle was rescued from a busy street.
6. 101 Dalmatians (1961 and 1996) caused people to buy Dalmatians and then leave them because they were “inconvenient.”
The aftermath of 101 Dalmatians was like a bomb for dog-breeders who started receiving numerous orders for the Dalmatian dogs. As you can likely guess, huge numbers of these dogs were later deserted after people discovered that Dalmatians are extremely energetic dogs and grow to become big balls of playfulness.

Cruella de Vil herself would be stunned by these figures.
7. Ratatouille (2007), the charismatic rat, inspired people to buy rats as pets.
The smart, incredibly gifted rat from Ratatouille filled people’s minds with false expectations regarding real rats, leading them to believe that they were cute by nature, but of course, the real deal couldn’t compete with the animated depiction.
As reported by the British pet chain, Pets at Home, their rat sales increased twofold after the movie went live. We hope the new pet owners didn’t let their rats hang out near their cooking supplies!
Believe it or not, abandoning pet rats isn’t all that rare. In 2017, the Larimer County Humane Society had to open an investigation after they found more than 77 abandoned domestic rats in 2 open spaces. According to CBS Denver, the humane society said that all the rats were once pets and were abandoned in cruel living conditions.
8. Pixar’s Finding Nemo and Finding Dory pushed the species of clownfish to a threatening place.
Clownfish met a sad destiny when, after Pixar’s Finding Nemo, the demand for this already endangered species threatened to push it to extinction, as 90% of the clownfish that were sold were taken from the wild. Many were collected using cyanide and the species seemed to be on the brink of a disaster until the Saving Nemo Foundation started to breed clownfish in captivity to take the focus off of the wild stocks.
9. The Men In Black movie sparked the purchasing of pugs.
The Men in Black movie first sparked our obsession with pugs after Frank, a talking dog in a suit, appeared alongside Will Smith in 1997 and sales skyrocketed. Frank was a very charismatic dog, so the audience, being enchanted by his skill, started obsessively buying pugs.
Peugeot, a stray pug who was adopted by a good family. But not all abandoned pugs are so lucky...
Bonus: The “Dulux” paint advertisement inspired the immense sales of Old English Sheepdogs.
Kennel Club Secretary Caroline Kisko noticed something sad about Old English Sheepdogs following the popularity of Dulux advertisements that were first released in 1961. “People thought they’d be good to breed and didn’t think about their temperament. Bad breeders, only interested in saving money, didn’t care about the breed’s peculiarities. Many ended up with ill temperaments and the breed’s reputation suffered as a result,” Kisko explained. Kisko claimed that people’s desire to spontaneously buy a pet after seeing them in a movie can contribute to the suffering of animals afterward. “With the expectation of instant gratification in our society, we expect to get a puppy over the weekend. On the radio, when you hear a track you really like, you order it on Amazon and it arrives the next day. It’s the same with dogs on screen. People aren’t willing to wait and think. They make snap decisions.”
We buy pets because of “trends” that are driven by popular culture rather than their “functional traits.” In other words, no matter how big it may grow, how much it slobbers, or how much of your belongings it may eat, if it looks attractive in a movie, we want it regardless of the repercussions. But we need to remember that any living creature has its own right to live a happy life and doesn’t deserve to be someone’s temporary toy.
