Cheep imitations of human thought

Article Abstract:

Animals should not be given human traits or in anyway likened to humans but should be studied purely as animals, with very different abilities to humans. Animals are sometimes judged by human criteria and those which do not show aptitude for human type of activities were considered to be less intelligent. Animals are able to think and communicate but do so in other ways. It is wrong to judge animals by comparing them to humans as if humans are the highest standard. Teaching animals to carry out human activities, such as counting, is ill-conceived.

Reigning cats and dogs

Article Abstract:

Domestic animals have evolved to form close relationships with their human owners because it improves their chances of reproductive success. Humans enjoy an interactive relationship with their pets because pets generate a set of natural responses which are biologically associated with human relationships, especially those between parent and child. Domestic cats and dogs have human-like emotions with which their owners can empathize, and pets allow humans to fulfill their needs for security, companionship and love.
