Dogs have 'personality'
cat's do too
They can show amazing loyalty, display happiness, apathy, fear, fatiqgue, anxiety, seperation anxiety, excitement, even aggression.
They can be protective, or playful, and often display a willingness to please which makes them highly trainable.
Who knows what a dog dreams of? but they do.
They also have been known to 'sulk' on occasion.
I could not eat something that displays so many 'human' characteristics.
Apart from the pig, i don't think farm animals have these traits. Pig's are highly intelligent. They fall somewhere
between a dog and a monkey. If we had known just how intelligent pigs were a few hundred years ago i believe
we would not be farming and eating them now.
