Do animals have emotions? To what extent?

Depends on the animal. I would venture to say most really only understand instinctual fear and the ability to nurture their young with "love", but domestic animals that have been specifically bred over thousands of years to have emotions and love us are an exception. Obviously, not knowing English is a problem, so it's not like they're thinking "Oh, God, I love Gerald so much, he's such a kind owner." so they're about as emotional as they can be while missing a few brain layers and not really having a language.

I'm not even a regular of this board. I know jack shit about animals, and I don't know why this topic is so controversial that you can't even ask about it on the goddamn animal board.

>>2057347
you can ask all you want. nobody's stopping you from asking.

>>2057347
Because of one idiotic trip fag and an anon with a stick up his butt.
>>2057292
Pfft, like janitors give a shit about this board. If they did, they would ban bugguy or any post with the word 'noiception' in it.

bugguy has been banned twice in the last week.

post an unpopular opinion on here and see how fast you get banned.

No I mean, permanently banned. Not a stupid slap on the wrist.

>>2057357
if they permabanned for off topic shit posting you'd be long gone too.

>>2057163
Nociception

>>2057163
No. Humans are special because you're human.

Why do people actually ask such fucking stupid questions like there's even a remote chance that their asinine prejudice even makes sense if you analyze it for more than .5 seconds.

>>2057347

Because of "bug guy".
