Most animals do, too. Feelings come before the high functioning thoughts. It always amazes me how self-centered and frankly braindead most humans are to deny every other animal the dignity that they deserve... Humans ARE NOT SPECIAL. Looking mostly at you, Christians...

I know. Why is it so mind blowing that other animals have feelings? Or do they maybe not want that consideration because then they might have to develop empathy for those animals? Sort of perplexing.
