  • Dogs do not feel emotions like Humans

    kansasgirl,

    No, Dogs do not feel emotions like humans. They feel emotions like Dogs. And Lions like Lions..etc. Why are human emotions the only ones that matter? Perhaps that is why the earth and its inhabitants are in the condition they are in now. The arrogance of humans to feel that our needs and feelings are more important than those of any other species, or plant for that matter, is what is killing the earth. It would be a wonderful thing if we all had empathy for all creatures on this earth, and treated them with the dignity and respect that we feel we inherently deserve. But, alas, this is not the human condition. We are fated to fail.
