Do you think animals have emotions

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 11-07-04] [Hit: ]
what with the lack of a nervous system...Emotions are just reactions to chemicals in your body though.Chemicals will make you happy or sad or jealous.-Animals show all emotions humans do,......
as in complex 'human' emotions? More than 'happy' or 'sad'

do you consider emotions to be more than a series of chemical reactions?

I don't think human emotions are any more complex than most animal's. Mammals definitely have the same level of emotion that humans do. It's hard to imagine a sad jellyfish, what with the lack of a nervous system...

Emotions are just reactions to chemicals in your body though. Chemicals will make you happy or sad or jealous.

Animals show all emotions humans do, just not as much. They show jealousy, fear, hatred, happiness, love, sadness, etc etc etc. All like humans, but they don't do it like us humans. Humans are overdramatic and animals are just the perfect amount. Sometimes animals can be overdramatic too. They can be sarcastic and spoiled. My dog is sarcastic and spoiled. She's very jealous and she always gets mad at me if she smells another dog. Animals are a lot like humans. Hope I answered your question :)

yes, rage is one emotion that is widespread. It is controlled by the part of the brain that is also found in reptiles. In fact, when humans are angry, they are letting their reptilian brain take over their actions. Researchers even find that, surprisingly, corporate leaders are far from rational beings who always act in the best interest of their own companies, but often act in anger and to gratify the pleasure center of their brains.

Yes, but it's very hard to pinpoint what.

For instance, when a dog protects is young or it's owner, it's probably love. I don't know about you, but I won't take a bullet for someone I don't know(okay maybe if it was a little kid or someone really hot or important).

Dogs feel tired, excited, anxious, guilty(like when they chew up something they know they shouldn't), hate and most importantly, love.

Well they definitely experience anger and fear, jealousy, greed...
