Emotions of Animals?
Zeke>>> You honestly believe that animals do not feel love, and are incapable of expressing it? You do not have my anger, nor my hatred Zeke - what you have is my sincere pity upon you.
It's an interesting suggestion though - and one that has been brought up before. Are animals capable of the higher emotions which we humans so jealously gaurd? In MY opinion, they most definately are. Let's look at some of them.
Anger - Here's one that we seem to be seeing a lot of lately. There can certainly be no mistaking that animals are MORE than capable of feeling, and acting upon this emotion. Everything - from a shrew to an elephant is capable of being made angry - and they all act upon it.
Jealousy - This one is very obvious, at least where several animals are all trying for the attention of another. It is, of course, primarily seen in social aniamls, such as humans, horses, dogs, and (if I recall correctly) lions. Horse herds, be they wild, or domestic, have a hierarchy. The leader will have a favorite, and that position IS know to cause some jealousy amoung the others. With domestic animals, it may be quite noticable that one will be jealous of the other, should the other one seem to be getting more attention.
Fear - Again, an emotion which cannot be doubted. Some humans, sadly, seem to derive great pleasure from instilling fear into others - be it other humans, or other animals (let us not forget, humans ARE just another type of animal). Fortunately, the reaction of most people to seeing someone instilling fear into an innocent is anger. This is one of the few cases where anger may be a good thing - for it may save someone (or something) that we care about.
Lust - There is little doubt that this is an emotion common to all animals - be they human, or otherwise. Lust is, I would say, the definate precursor to love. When people say "It was love at first sight" what they are REALLY saying is "He/She made me so excited, I could have done him/her right there!" There is certainly nothing WRONG with this emotion - provided that one has the intelligence to regulate it to the proper time and place. Animals are blessed with not having the human curse of shame upon them, and can thus express lust whenever, and wherever they please. Humans - because other humans might be offended (made jealous?) - are forced to keep their displays of lust behind closed doors. Even there, people who have no business snooping would like to condemn those who partake in this purest form of sexual abandon.
