Emotions

I agree that Animals have emotions, feelings, and desires. Just because we can not communicate with them does not mean they are emotionless. You can tell animals have emotions by their actions. When a dog is happy it wags it's tail. Just the look on their face shows how it feels. I feel that animals try to communicate with us in their own ways. For example when a dog wants out it scratches on the door or stands by it. When a dog is angry or defensive it growls. KoKo is a great example that shows us that animals have emotions just like us. I feel that animals communicate with each other and just because we can not understand them does not mean they do not communicate. When it comes to desires animals may have different desire than we have. Humans have a duty towards animals. We should respect and not abuse them.

  1. I agree with Maggie on this issue for many reasons. Yes animals do not totally have a language but you can communicate with them. I also agree with the emotion part that Maggie was talking about. My dogs ring a bell when they need to go out and sit on the steps when they want to come in or just bark by the door. When my dogs know they have been bad they put their heads down and walk to you. When they are excited they run around or jump up on you. i feel animals communicate in many ways. I also agree with the statement that animals communicate even though we do not understand it. i feel this is very true that animals communicate with each other. all animals make sounds that i feel they are communicating by we just dont know what they mean.
