Animals can't feel empathy. .

This is a very difficult subject to be sure on.........Some have some dont.....

empathy: The ability to put one's self into the psychological frame of reference or point of view of another, to feel what another feels.

And if we CAN, why can't they? Because they don't talk?
Don't see a "human" specification in that definition, do you?

given your feelings on the whole thing, i have been wondering, have you ever loved anyone? I mean really loved them, not just high school crush "i soo love him" love.

I'm thinking the same about you and Cheeba actually. My thinking is that if you truly loved another person, you wouldn't want to risk having another person like him/her killed instead of any animal. I'd 500 cats and dogs before seeing my boyfriend die, I think that is a little more love than "I'd sacrifice myself for a rat... leave the one I "love" behind for a rat"

Actually yes, it's a human emotion. One of the major differences that separates us from other creatures of the earth.

Not true at all. I love my wife above all else, even me, and i can be pretty self-absorbed, but i would jump under a bus to save my dog or one of my rats. I MIGHT shout a warning to my neighbor if they did the same.

Where in their did i say i would sacrifice my wife? I did happen to mention my neighbors (ie, the people who live next door) would probably be screwed.

:rolleyes:

"You'd sacrifice your life, to save a dog. Your survival should be way above some rat. You'd hurt your wife who you apparantly love to save a rat? Never to be with her again for a dirty rat? You can train a rat to kiss you, but it doesn't mean it loves you."

I said by sacrificing your life, you'd be hurting your wife and never be able to see her again. If that prospect doesn't bother you, I don't think you're in love.

Things you've missed, MD.

I mean, don't get ME wrong, I'm not saying animals are superior, or anything like that,

Not that I want to kill either, but if given the choice between taking the life of a random human, or animal...the human would die.

...RANDOM...

Of course, there IS people that I will be closer to than I would ever be an animal, it's just an inter-species thing

In reply to

Actually yes, it's a strictly human emotion.

According to you?
Proof? Evidence?
Many people argue that animals have no "real" emotions whatsoever...I'm glad I have PERSONALLY discovered this to be innaccurate.

Now, check your shit...and start posting sense.

Try to go into a jungle...... and take away a elephant baby from her mother......Why would she protect her own child ?...Bercause they have the ability to feel some kind of empathy....
