A man who spent over £11,000 to fulfill his dream of “becoming a dog” has opened a unique zoo where others can experience living as animals too. The individual, who goes by the name of “Kento,” has long been fascinated by the idea of human-animal transformation, believing that it allows people to reconnect with their primal instincts and explore a different way of existing. His journey started when he invested a large sum into custom costumes and experiences, with the goal of embodying the life of a dog.
His personal transformation involved wearing a realistic dog costume, complete with fur, a tail, and even a muzzle, as part of his desire to step away from societal norms and engage in the world from a different perspective. The experience was not just about dressing up; it was about embracing the behaviors and mindset he imagined a dog would have, such as following commands, crawling on all fours, and experiencing the world through a different lens.
Inspired by the freedom and excitement he felt, Kento decided to open a zoo with a twist. This unusual zoo allows visitors to adopt animal personas and spend time as various creatures, from dogs to other animals like cats, foxes, and even more exotic creatures like wolves. The aim is to provide people with a safe and controlled environment where they can explore what it feels like to live as an animal, outside the constraints of human behavior.
While the idea is unconventional, it’s generated curiosity and attention, with some seeing it as an opportunity for self-exploration, creativity, or even a form of therapy. Critics, however, question the psychological implications of such experiences, wondering if it challenges one’s sense of identity too much. Regardless, Kento’s zoo is an experiment in living outside the ordinary.
