They Support Each Other

While all of these reaffirm how we underestimate vastly the emotional and logical intelligence in animals, Grey Parrots blow my mind. You may well know of Alex, the African Grey, who was studied for years as he learnt; primary colours, shapes textures, names. At one point, he looked at himself in a mirror and ASKED ‘what colour Alex?’ The implications are both heart enriching, and heartbreaking at the same time.

Cows are exceptionally curious, and very easily distracted. Every cow expression means "What's that?" on a spectrum between excited curiosity, and concerned fear.

What do you think ?

You know how with babies, you sometimes puff right onto their bellies to make them laugh? (Not sure which English word to use here, please forgive me if it’s the wrong one.) I saw a chimpanzee do that with her baby in a zoo once. The baby chimpanzee laughed as did the mother, and then she puffed on it again, and flailed her arms around in a funny manner, and puffed again. That hit me hard. I always thought of animals as sensible beings, but that was not something I would have expected. There was no difference to the joy and affection of a human mother at all.

It's so massively arrogant of some humans to think animals have fewer emotions or less intelligence than we do. They have their own methods of communication, they play, they feel pain, just like us. We're the most unpleasant and dangerous species on this planet, and the most undeserving of the right to life based on our history of destruction.

The sad thing is that people will know this and it won’t even give them the slightest cognitive dissonance or uncomfortable feeling about the active harm they cause and could easily stop causing to a multitude of species. They just think “oh that’s sad” and keep their same animal-harming lifestyle.

I have a rescue dog, (Zak) he's just turned 14 - a couple of months ago getting home after our walk at about 9:30pm we were just getting into our apartment building & met my neighbour in the hall. She was just going to dispose of her rubbish & recycling. As I was unlocking my flat door she went out, Zak got up walked beside her to the bins, waited while she went back for her recycling & walked her back into the building with her. He was guarding her & knew she was making two trips
