Historical observation shows that all metaphysical traditions use symbols, "ayat" signs, examples, models and archetypes to support a conception. Thus, the animal is a symbol, a support and a means of conception, among many others. In this option, we can say that God in certain Traditions or nature in others, has deposited in each species reasons for wisdom and models of moral conduct for man to benefit from in his path of teaching and journey towards origin. Thus, the nature of animals is created only to be useful. The universe is a harmonious whole: "there is nothing evil in the world. Everything in its place is good". On the other hand, human beings project their own passions onto imaginary characters. We project our own immediate irregular elements, our own instincts, onto animals.
