From your own relationships with animals? Or some study you've googled on the net perhaps? My own experience with animals indicates otherwise. As a matter of fact, I've met more understanding and *knowing* 4 footed animals than 2 footed ones. My greatest ))guru(( was my old cat and a dog. I won't even mention trees. Humans pale in comparison but their vanity to believe their thee brightest, smartest, top of the food chain never ceases to amaze. One human man could quite possibly be dumber than a sack of rocks and 10 flocks of birds put together. Your talking about stuff...stuff...stuff.. which you have no idea what you're talkin' about. Does it allevieate your fear? Make you feel more secure? Make you seem more knowlegable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
