Do you think your pets have human-like emotions? I think they do. Can cows feel love? Do cats "laugh" on the inside? Do dogs get jealous? My Mario Kart Wii Friend Code: 2020-0055-3691

Absolutely. I wouldn't go so far as to assume their emotions are qualitatively identical, as our emotions are often tied to things like existentialist angst, religious response, etc. I simply don't know if animals experience such things. But I totally believe they go through similar complex neurological and biochemical processes as a result of experiences, expectations, attachments with other animals and things, etc. [Edited 10/7/07 22:32pm] Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

Never understood until we got him how people got so attached to their pets. Now I get it. He's like a son you don't have to send to college. | |

To some degree. But they aren't capable of complex human-level thought. Maybe we can go to the movies and cry together | |

...And they occasionally do.  What's more interesting to me along this line is the notion that many of us are in similar ways trained and broken as they are.Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

That's an interesting point. I guess this brings us back to where we do more clearly differ from animals: the qualitative value we ascribe to emotive behavior. If some pitbull eats a baby, we all say he's ben "bad." He just thinks he's been a dog, maybe.  [Edited 10/9/07 15:57pm] Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου
