What you wrote is absolute ignorance.

Animals get cancer when they get old just as humans do.

It is not just limited to pets and Tasmanian devils.

Now pets are psychic and take on the persona of their owners? Oh so it is MY FAULT my dog got brain cancer!!!

You are really funny.

Delusional. But funny.

Wild animals don't usually get DIAGNOSED with cancer. Because they don't have concerned people to take them into a vet at the first sign of trouble. But they do get and die of cancer - or die because the cancer rendered them unable to fend for themselves.

Anti-technological nutcases also like to point out that people in undeveloped nations don't get (DIAGNOSED) cancer as often. Because when grandpa gets pancreatic cancer in a hut in Guatemala - chances are it never gets diagnosed AS cancer - but he still dies.

No they do not get cancer just like humans do. If you read that article better you will see they mentioned Tasmanian devils with that specific type of contagious facial cancer. Cancer is not contagious for humans...so it very well could have been picked up and spread from a virus or such.
Also, all of the other animals mentioned in your link are sea animals whom roam about where there is much pollution possible, thus they can get disease from that.
Animals in the wild do not get sick like us from a spiritual deficiency called rage. You do not see hundreds or thousands of lions or antelopes or brown bears for that matter, dying of cancer. It just does not happen. Sorry, you are just incorrect and you do not know how to debate without getting low and calling me stupid. That is OK though, I am not annoyed at you.
