Showing positive feelings like love and attachment could mean that dogs are as sentient as a human child. Berns hope to further these new findings and use them to expanding the rights of animals.

Great just what we need more Liberal stupidity in animorphizing animals.

Animals are not humans and you can not give animals human rights without lowering the value of human life.

Once you raise the value of animals to equate their worth to that of humans you have lowered the value of human life to that of an animal.

There is no way around it. If a dog’s life is worth the same as a human’s then a human life is worth no more than that of a dog.

..................then a human life is worth no more than that of a dog.

Which would be a step up for some people.........

I like my dogs better than I like most people and yes, I’ll use whatever force necessary to defend and protect them.

I know for a fact that dogs have emotions and know and understand love.

When our GSD Max had bloat and we visited him after the surgery, I knew at that very moment, there was more to dogs than most people realize. He was on an emotional rollercoaster that to this day, I simply cannot describe to the fullest.

Yup, all part of the master plan.

To me, my dog is easily the equal in worth in comparison to just about all of the people I run across. We obviously do not agree.
