Being a Mum to a house full of companion animals, I have never doubted for a second, that they have emotions... not for a single second. .

gzayra thank you for this one...

Is good to read Mark Bekoff thinks. Not all people understand animal feelings. And not all people like animals.

Is good to know that you have companion animals thisname and that you like them too quickstar.

I more than just like animals, I adore them! Besides having a house full of previously homeless little furry friends, I also work in animal welfare so animals are my family, my calling, my passion and my whole life really. I can't imagine not spending my every day among them.

That is good to know. Is good to let others know our fillings. Is like me when i talk about my cockatiels. I love all animals too. I would like to have a bigger house to have a few more birds and cats and dogs...
