I've never heard about that story. But of course animals don't have Disney-like human emotions. But they have the same kind of basic emotions like fear, pain, rage, etc. Dogs obviously get bored, excited, and stressed, etc. I mean, intelligent mammals like dogs and cats have very similar brains and nervous systems to humans, and their behavior in response to certain stimuli is very similar to the behavior of humans, so it only makes sense that their basic emotions are similar.

its not similar at all. Yes they yelp when you poke them but dogs aren't conscious beings. They react to various stimuli in certain ways and we should always be nice to animals but thats it. A dog cant feel scared, it cant incorporate a feeling into an overall self and consciousness as what we call an emotion. It reacts to a stimuli by acting a certain way. Anything more that that is projection.

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.

Dogs and other animals are obvs conscious. Maybe not to the same degree that humans are, but there's clearly a lot of consciousness there. And consciousness is a spectrum.

Ostriches don't actually bury their heads in the dirt because they're scared, they reproduce through their mouths and that's them depositing or fertilizing their eggs. In 16 months time little ostrichlings will pop their heads out of the holes.

Most elephants enjoy the festive atmosphere of the big top, so much so that they sway with excitement for their next show.
