Now, tell me again about that "unbridgeable gap between humans and animals".

Thnx for posting Metatron.

That's a graphic portrayal of the reality of animal sensitivities - a reality denied by the NT's false statement in 2 Peter 2:12

Wow. I guess I am agnostic and I don't believe in Jeehoober of the Watchtower. I do believe that animals have souls, just like people. Whatever the real truth is about life, the WTBTS's crap about animals being dumb and not having feelings is complete stupidity.

I have had many animal familiars, since I grew up on a farm. They all had their own unique personality. You couldn't just swap "souls" as the WTBTS suggests, like the soul is a battery. They were individuals. As science has proven, brain size is no measure of intelligence. Just because a cat or dog, chicken, goat or whatever doesn't have hands to sign like Koko, it doesn't mean they were not communicating. We are the real dummy's of this planet. Only humans wreak havok upon their enviroment and " shit in their own mess-kit."

I think KOKO should take over the GB.

I think it's fairly clear that Koko did not understand what was actually going on, but mirrored the sadness of her human handlers. That being said, animals clearly have feelings, which is something that was not really respected even 100 years ago. Personally I think that scientists still underestimate animal intelligence by a fair degree, although they're slowly catching on as they perform more intelligence tests on different species.

Now Koko will be; "giving it to T-Bone" for sure.

Apogno - If you haven't previously, I'd recommend watching more videos of Koko.. She is truly Amazing, she had a Kitten that she took care of like it was her child.. When the kitten died Koko was deeply hurt for several days. - As Data said.. There is much more going on with animals than we realize, if you really take the time to get to know an animal and observe it You see that it is not much different than a human. I also beleive that animals are smarter than humans in some ways, if not smarter they know how to Love Purer.

DATA-DOG

We are really strange, humans I mean. We spend so much time trying to scientifically KNOW something that we already know intuitively. We know animals are smart. We know they feel and mourn, mammals seem to. Not so sure about sharks..they just live to eat.

If we all evolved, then their emotions are just as valid as ours. Science is great, but we don't have to wait around for some lab techs to show us data about animal feelings. We just have to observe the natural world.
