    Worse only was the claim that animals don’t have emotions like we do because they lack speech. Somehow communication is a necesary requirement for experiencing emotion?

    The most ableist shit ever…

      Anybody who claims that animals don’t have emotions because of some unqualified human exceptionalism hasn’t had a pet.

      Or, if they had a pet, I feel very sorry for that pet.
