Denial and Scientific Stupidity ... Animal Emotions - Page 1

An article that suggests the obvious about animal emotions ... as someone who has worked around animals for much of my adult life I can assure even the most idiotic researcher that animal have emotions just as humans and great apes do.  Animals also have emotions and feelings for each other.  Human researchers choose to ignore the fact that humans are animals and much of human emotions and social behavior is linked to instinct and hormones while damning animals for exactly the same fact but ignoring those behaviors that rise above instinct and hormones.

This new study about horses, I found to be very interesting! When a horse or even a dog, gives you the "left eye", it knows you are angry!

When shown the angry face, 20 of the horses also turned their heads so that they could look at it with their left eye—a response that suggests they understood the expression, the scientists report online today in Biology Letters, because the right hemisphere of the brain is specialized for processing negative emotions. Dogs, too, have this “left-gaze bias” when confronting angry faces.

Bubba: "Human researchers choose to ignore the fact that humans are animals and much of human emotions and social behavior is linked to instinct and hormones while damning animals for exactly the same fact but ignoring those behaviors that rise above instinct and hormones."

This is one of the sentences I really like you for, Bubba. Apart from dog clubs and medicine you do have a lot of common sense.
