The reason Haywood is drawn to animals so much is because he was never given a chance by the outside world to be at his fullest potential. He’s actually wicked smart, and it kills him everyday to not use those skills but he’s sort of desensitized to it by now. To him, it’s just life to live the way he does. To the point where he has forgotten what it means to live inside a home and to pay for his stuff. It’s sort of a sad cycle that he seems to be forever trapped in, partially because he’s inept at doing otherwise and partially because nobody ever gave him the chance to do so.
