What are animals thinking? They feel empathy, grieve, seek joy just like us.

Voca

  • Do you think animals can experience emotions like humans do, such as sadness, joy, anxiety, and others?
    I definitely think so. For instance, let's take dogs as an example. Dogs can feel almost all the emotions that humans do, which is why many people consider them part of their family and share emotional connections with them.
  • What are the grounds for determining animal emotions? Based on scientific evidence or personal experience, what motivated you to believe that animals have or do not have emotions?
    While there may be scientific evidence to support this claim, I can't say for certain as I haven't looked into it in great detail. However, based on my personal experience, I do believe that animals can experience emotions similar to humans. I once saw a documentary about a dog who had been waiting for his owner for a long time after he disappeared. When the dog finally reunited with his owner, he shed tears of happiness and sadness, which suggests that dogs can feel a range of emotions just like we do.
  • Do you think animals should be called in different ways, just as we don't call humans "it" now that the world has changed?
    When referring to animals, it may depend on the type of animal, but if we're talking about dogs, I believe it's appropriate to refer to them as he or she depending on their gender. Nowadays, many people consider their dogs to have a similar status to humans, so using gender pronouns for them has become more common.
