[QUOTE="inyati13, post: 997383, member: 17767"] Well said, and you made a fine point here. Help me here, the example stated above you qualified as "isn't a perfect example". It is not perfect because the lower animals are motivated by less sophisticated stimuli, but it is still based on the same functional rudiments. It comes back to the cliche, "there is more that binds us, than there is that separates us." I started this thread and it is ony academic. I started it to explore the following comment that a friend of mine made in giving me excellent advice on vaccinating cattle, " The trick is the tight squeeze and work back towards the shoulder- she does not like you and does not have any feelings for you - so do it fast - get the job done and kick her out - on to the next one" My thought was, What difference does it make whether she likes me or not? Now, I know what my friend meant and he wasn't writing a thesis that needed to be defended in a graduate class. He knows something about how I operate and was perceptive enough to wonder if my feelings toward my cows affect how I perform this work. I think he was correct to do so. Having said that, if you will go back and look you will see that I started this thread with the statement that like is not a good word to use. Try to define love and you will see that it is everything from lust to companionship. My final point is this, there is more that goes on in a lower mammals brain than humans understand. I will place that in the category of a theory. If you want an opinion, I think that lower mammals not only display emotions but actually experience emotions in their brain. It has always been a tenant of science that lower animals only display emotions but humans experience them because they have the regions of the brain to do so. [/QUOTE]
