Do you believe that animals have emotions like humans do?

Question

or do you believe that everything they do is instinct?

Answer 1

i really believe that animals have emotions, they cry when they get upset, they do everything like humans, they can talk (barking), they have dreams and nightmares, they cry, they get happy, they get angry, the only thing they pretty much can't do is talk like humans. i do believe they have emotions and are just as important as other humans.

Answer 2

Absolutely! I have seen dogs become very depressed over their person's absence or death and female dogs mope for weeks after their babies are given away.....I think their emotions are every bit as real and valid as humans but they probably have a short term memory which is their saving grace.

Answer 3

I believe that they do have emotions. They feel fear. My dog shakes like a foot massager when she hears fireworks or loud banging or popping sounds. They feel happiness. My dog wags her tail, causing her whole rear end to shake, whenever she knows that she's getting a biscuit. Dogs have emotions. I am 100% certain of that.

Answer 4

Of course they do. I've seen scared animals many times. Thats emotion.

Answer 5

I know dogs have emotions.

Answer 6

Hell no! You animal freaks get carried away sometimes.

Would you prefer it if they where running things?
