I don't need any more. I already know that other animals can feel, make decisions, pretend, etc. Most higher mammals with frontal lobes are capable of such things.I've also taken psychology and animal behaviour courses at a postsecondary academic institution.

You're the only one here who doesn't seem to know that other animals experience emotions.

Not really.

In fact it just seems down right egotistical, and self centered.

No absolutely

Yes It is both. I want my heart surgeon to NOT be a monkey. It will remain that way until a monkey can show it has the ability to successfully perform heart surgery. If you cant comprehend how a human surgeon is BETTER than a monkey surgeon then I have no other words for you.

It was on fire when I laid down on it.
OMG. My head is splitting. Here's how I see it - a human life is worth more than an animal life. That being said, animals do show emotion sometimes and that makes them almost, but not quite, human. I love animals but I love people more. That being said, if a person I didn't know and a dog I did know were in a fire, I'd save the person first but I'd try to save the dog too. Or a cat for that matter. An amoeba, no. I sure wouldn't risk life or limb to save it. A snake, probably not. A chicken, also probably not. But I'd be sad about the chicken. Maybe that counts for something.

If you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, you will both be made fools.

LOL

I cant breath underwater but humans have learned how to breath under water with a self contained underwater breathing apparatus. Whats the progress of fish learning how to breath out of the water? To suggest humans are superior to fish is delusional which is what i said days ago that started all this silliness.

You're still judging the fish by human standards and missing the point of my last post.
