i think higher animals .. chimps .. feel empathy.
there was a special (on jane goodall i think) who studied them and saw an older male take care of an orphaned baby.
he was an orphan himself. Definately a case for empathy there ..
without the personal barbs and retaliatory shots ..
i think its fair to say both sides have very valid points - but it comes back to one thing ..
We CANNOT compare the 2.
Cheeba still likes people .. I'm sure Vod wouldnt widow his wife for a rat with a 3 year lifespan .. and MD liked animals and people ,, but she likes to stir up shit by making absolute statements ..
you cannot compare animals to people .. we are very similar in some ways .. very different in others ...
We love both for different reasons ..
