Almost any child with a dog could tell you about it. It doesn't mean that all animals can, but it does mean some of them can. Sad you're not able to understand that. One absurd "reason" you feel that life isn't worthy of consideration for any animals, is because you don't feel that they are capable of experiencing positive emotions to the degree that their lives could be worthy of consideration. But even though your prize argument --that imaginary nonexistent entities can not benefit--is true, there is much evidence that humans are capable of experiencing positive emotions to the degree that their lives are a benefit to them. And Goobernad, even though you can't understand it, the same is true for some animals too. |

Tell your mangy mutt dog you're going to take him for a walk, then sit on your pimply redneck ass eating pork cracklins all afternoon instead and don't take him for the walk. He will not be disappointed. |

Animals experience disappointment No, they don't. __________________________________________________ _______ The writings of Charles Darwin on the web by John van Wyhe Ph.D. [...] I formerly possessed a large dog, who, like every other dog, was much pleased to go out walking. He showed his pleasure by trotting gravely before me with high steps, head much raised, moderately erected ears, and tail carried aloft but not stiffly. Not far from my house a path branches off to the right, leading to the hot-house, which I used often to visit for a few moments, to look at my experimental plants. This was always a great disappointment to the dog, as he did not know whether I should continue my walk; and the instantaneous and complete change of expression which came over him as soon as my body swerved in the least towards the path (and I sometimes tried this as an experiment) was laughable. His look of dejection was known to every member of the family, and was called his hot-house face. This consisted in the head drooping much, the whole body sinking a little and remaining motionless; the ears and tail falling suddenly down, but the tail was by no means wagged. With the falling of the ears and of his great chaps, the eyes became much changed in appearance, and I fancied that they looked less bright. His aspect was that of piteous, hopeless dejection; and it was, as I have said, laughable, as the cause was so slight.

Billy, my Severe Macaw makes a disappointed vocal when he wants to come out to play and I have to walk away without him. It's not a scream for attention; it's a quick, low vocalization of disappointment without doubt. -- Sincerely, Joanne If it's right for you, then it's right, . . . . . for you!!!
