That wave! found this incredible interview with Dr. Marc Bekoff , PhD in ethology and animal behavior expert, where we states that animals have the same emotions as us, but express them differently. The animals fall in love, get happy, sad, grieving the loss of a loved one, celebrate a reunion ...
I I have an English bulldog I have seen much and knows when I'm wrong ... never leaves me and runs beside my bed for a month without moving if necessary. Know me for what you need and when someone talks bad in front of him, and leaves immediately noticeable. My fat is best, I can not ask for anything more from him!
interview before I leave this sentence: "I do not care whether animals can reason. Just know that it is capable of suffering and therefore I consider my neighbor "Mahatma Gandhi
1. You are one of the few scientists who study animal emotions Are we too arrogant to believe in its complexity?
I think many people now believes that animals have emotions, is changing very fast, but there is still some arrogant people who think that only humans have them, yes.
2. Indeed, is there a little problem with balance?, There are places where people treat their pets as human beings, and even dresses, and others where they do as if they were not living things ...
Yes, truth. We should not dress definitely not treat them as individuals but as beings that are, in Spain the situation is good, but still need to do much more, like the bullfights , That simply should be banned, and should try something better to dogs and cats, but there are many people doing good things.
3. Can the pets go on to develop more their intelligence to coexist with people?
I am a scientist, and science provides more and more information about what you are intelligent and emotional animals, but I do not think dogs or cats are never as smart as humans, not as a species. By living with us makes them more ready, individually, say. But as a species would be an unnatural selection, in a laboratory to breed only the most intelligent, as has been done with mice, and then yes, it was determined that some are noticeably smarter. But as a biologist I want is to know about how they, how it is being, or feeling like a chimpanzee, or a bird. I understand them for who they are, not as a reflection of humans.
4. Okay. And like a bird dog or chimpanzee or how they feel?
have the same emotions as us, but express them differently. But the animals fall in love, get happy or sad, or mourn the loss of a loved one, celebrate a reunion ....
5. And they understand our feelings?
Yes, emotions are what allow us to communicate across species, we understand them and they us. I have been with wild elephants and is easy to understand. They use smell, or sound, other senses can understand oliéndonos, know if we are afraid, for example, not only through sight. It is often said that "seeing is believing", but also smell or hearing is believing.
6. He has also studied animal morality "distinguish right from wrong?
If you know the difference, and sense of justice, I call it 'wild justice'. When they play, they can play clean sharing food. Although they have their own personalities, some are more shy, others will try to cheat, even though they know the difference chosen, like us, do it right or wrong.
7. And they apologize?
Yes, you bite too hard, for example, to express through their behavior that they feel, it was not his intention and that better be friends, and also forgiving. It is very important to live in groups need to cooperate.
8. Is the reward and punishment is a good way to learn what is right or wrong in our world?
should use only positive reinforcement, punishment does not work very well. It makes them afraid and lose confidence in us. And living is based on mutual trust.
9. What are the benefits to humans that live together?
Living with dogs, cats and other is good for them and for us. When a person touches a dog, both experienced a drop in your pulse, blood pressure in it is relaxing or pleasurable for both. And it shows the physical, not just emotional.
PARKS FOR DOGS Beckoff said
understand why some people do not want dogs around, but blame the owners, and proposed as a solution to punish those who do not pick up the droppings . "Such restrictions are injured animals." And they can be happy in the city with very little, but that little includes their daily food, affection and exercise. So too should have parks for dogs and humans learn to be responsible owners.
THE HERD OF ELEPHANTS CARE FOR THE FRIENDSHIP
Marc Bekoff has spent more than 40 years studying animal behavior and traveling around the world, while disseminating their knowledge "and show people why we should treat animals better. " Why? Well first, he says, "because there". But also, they feel. Because they suffer. "We consider your point of view, and they like to be happy, just like us" . Therefore, the mere mention of animal research obscures his face. His rejection of torture suffered by laboratory animals is front. "How much should investigate them in their habitat, but not starving, or drugs and put them in boxes." As he points out, proponents of these practices say they do so "in the name of science", but according Beckoff should say "on behalf of humans, because animals are never the beneficiaries." "And above all, it is increasingly clear that animal models do not work. " Word of science. For example, the largest center for research on diabetes in the world, which is in Miami, has admitted that they are useful animal models, no conclusions can be important. "These are not radical activists or those who say 'he exclaims. Nor
studies on animals in captivity are of little use, "because they are stressed, do not reflect their actual behavior." This is what happens in zoos, wrong place, according Beckoff for a child to learn something about wildlife. "It's much better a movie about his life in freedom," she advises. Because wild feel Like pets, of course. Beckoff could put a thousand examples, the first thing that comes to mind is that of an elephant he met in Kenya. He had a leg wound, and could only walk slowly, but not taking care of herself. His teammates did for her 15 years, the guided and fed. "For friendship." For the same reason should we.
