Yes and this has been backed up with the use of past life regression techniques. A girl I know was a man in a previous life and was also an animal. It all depends on the lessons you learn in each lifetime I guess.

Wild or animals that don't have constant contact with humans don't show that type of emotion.  But housepets do show some type of affection and or acknowledgement for humans.

It's clear that humans and animals (especially those close to us in the evolutionary tree), share similar chemical responses in their brain when faced with highly emotional situations.  Whether it be fear, contentment, mating urges, we have a lot of analogous mechanisms going on.  On this basis alone, there is a pretty strong argument that animals have feelings.\nOne possible counter-argument, however, is based on the definition that for certain chemical responses to be called feelings, that the being in question needs to have a conscious awareness of their state.  With this defition, it becomes much harder to say whether animals experience feelings in the same conscious manner even though the neurochemical signatures are similar.\nMy opinion is that this definition based on conscious understanding is a little specious, as it's based on an ongoing desire by some to try to define humans out of the context of the natural world... and to claim that we are categorically better than the other animals.  \nIf the neurochemical basis for consciousness is ever discovered we'll be able to quickly check which animals have this, and I suspect we'll find that many are conscious.  If this is so, then their feelings will be as real as human ones in all senses.

i think, yes. a person's like or dislikes can also be explained psychologically, his feelings can be viewed through brain activity, heart beat rate, etc. science is very wide, almost all things can be explained through science. we just have to look for the right branch or study that deals with it.

for the record i like cows, they're nice.\n\nseveral religions believe in reincarnation. how you recognize people is different than you might think. some believe you carry similar physical traits in each life. some people are lucky enough to carry glimpses of their past lives, and they figure it out. it's not like you see someone and go "hey charlie where you been buddy?!"..it's more of a recognition on a deeper level. think about someone you've just met and instantly clicked with, and you can't quite put your finger on why. it's possible that you knew them/were related to them in a previous life. i've had that happen with several friends/boyfriends.

It is very sad that you feel the need to question the utility of animals. Perhaps you regard them with so little respect that they only have meaning to you in terms of their use. If you want to ask a good question about the usefulness or uselessness of animals then try this; how useful are you?

Kindness and respect.  \n\nI think we have a responsibility to care for all animals with kindness and respect.  That includes the care and treatment of our pets as well as the care and protection of wildlife.  Although I often raise animals for meat, I believe that even an animal that is to be used for food should be treated with kindness and respect.  \n\nWhile I think that it is prudent to treat vegetable life with respect, I believe there is a difference.  Animals are living, breathing, thinking creatures.  They have relationships within their own social groups.  Many times within those groups other creatures rejoice in their birth, enjoy (and often share) their care, and mourn their passing.  Additionally, many of these creatures relate to us on terms we can appreciate and enjoy.  Therefore, they are valuable to others in their own group, as well as having value to us.  For that reason alone, their ability to "build" relationships, I feel we are ethically obligated to should show them kindness and respect them as living creatures.

I would go with the one you like best...i wouldn't base it on looks alone...which one has the nicest personality and which one do you feel most comfortable and natural around?...you have to like somebody before you can really love them.

Some animals have only one partner their whole life (humans are more promiscuous than say penguins).\nSome animals live in society (some even are more organized than humans and do what they have to do).\nSome animals kill to eat (that includes humans).\n\nEvery animal behave according to their specie, so, it's a mistake to think a fish has to act like an ant, or that a human has to act like a lion. We are not vegetables, nor minerals, we are animals and animals do not behave like other animals of another specie.\n\nFear and anger are instincts. Try hitting someone and see if they'll be stoic waiting for your first and not even blink.\n\nWheter you believe in evolution or not, you can't deny instincts. I'm sure instincts can be accepted without evolution.

I think it works both ways, we are all attracted to "types", but that doesn't mean who you marry fits that mold.  There's a big difference to what you're attracted to and what you're committed to.\n\nHere's an anecdote from nature.  Certain animals and plants have features that "attract" their prey, but that doesn't mean it works out to the preys' liking.  And it's not the only thing they find enjoyable.

No. It's just their own way of showing their affection towards their pets. In fact, I have read that those people who are attached to their pets are the most loving, caring and sweet people in the world. :)

I would compare myself to an American Eagle, that flys high in the sky with a keen sense of eyesight. I believe I have a great sense for people and their predictability. Eagles also have great talons to hold tight to their prey; just like my heart to hold and protect my close friends.

Firstly, it is the innate personality (what some might call a "soul") we have even before conception which truly defines us as a being.  Secondly, its a combination of complicated reprogrammed hereditary traits (genetics) passed down to you from your parents, and finally, the environment in which we live influences our lives via our parents, friends and media we encounter.

Good for you.  You seem very smart.  People tend to feel companionship from animals, bc they are so loyal and they don't judge you.  You know when you aren't having a good day, they will be there for you.  I would have to say that my kids are my "pets".  I could be having the worst day, and they will come up and give me a hug and it is just what I need.

Instinct my dear...\nINSTINCT\nYeah what sorta zoo puts its deer in the lions cage for feeding, I never heard of that one?\nAnyway, we as humans are so BLESSED with brains though obviously some never use them...\nAnimals are blessed with INSTINCTS- oh we get stuff from our ancestors too like FIGHT OR FLIGHT--Addrenaline.\nOr our temperment,size,you know...how we think, feel, react to certain things.\nBut the ANIMAL KINGDOM, since their brains for most of em are so small, They have to go on INSTINCTS from their PARENT, and their parents and their parents,parents,parents...lol\nYou get the picture?
