The Exultant Arc : A Pictorial Tour Of Animal Pleasure

Many things do have feelings when you think they don't have feelings. Many things are not exactly what it seems. Animals have many similarities and differences to humans. Starting with the story the pod.

Human beings are considered to be the greatest creations that were given knowledge, skills and power to rule over the entire planet. However, at the same time, their relationship with other animals and its implications in human civilization cannot be denied. Historically, it is proven that for thousands of years, human beings have developed close contact with animals who were their means of living and at the same time often, great companions. Considering the great significance of animals in the lives of human beings, often their relationships were portrayed in literature by authors. It was meant to help the global community to have a clear understanding of the impact that animals have in the lives of human beings which is very much significant.

Since we cannot communicate in an effective way to these animals, some people find it hard to believe that animals really do experience subjectivity. However, it seems that every person can understand that animals such as dogs, cats, and primates seek pleasure and avoid pain. These two ideas are contradictions of each other because if an animal seeks to enhance its subjective experience, it must follow that they do have a similar subjective experience as humans. Not surprisingly, just like the mentally retarded children that were previously mentioned, even if these animals cannot solve complex math problems, read or write, or compose music that these animals are still subjects of life. It follows that if these animals are subjects of life that they should also fall into the domain of equality of

“Beasts under the Big Top” by Sena Christian and “When Animals Mourn” by Barbara J. King both relate to the idea of animal behavior and the different ways it can be affected. Christian explains the effects on behavior caused by an animals surroundings and treatment by humans. In contrast, King specifically focuses on the impact death has on an animals behavior, whether it be a passing in the community or of a close family member. Although both authors write about changes in animal mannerisms, they each take distinct approaches on discussing the topic.

ear Editor, In the article published “A Change of Heart About Animals.” In there, the author Jeremy Rifkin states that “ [Animals] they feel pain, suffer and experience stress, affection, excitement, and even love- these findings are changing how we view animals.” I agree with this pretty bold statement and I feel like many parts of society are very neglecting towards animals and how they are treated, there needs to be a change. Like Rifkin said, many animals in our daily lives are like people in more ways than one.

Sometimes play is referred to as “brain food”. Meaning when they learn the skills, they get stronger and smarter. Almost like feeding the brain. Play can exercise the animal’s brain like lifting a human weight exercises a muscle. They are practicing skills they’ll need later on their life.

Animals have feelings just like humans. Life isn't just about hunting. ‘

Both in and out of philosophical circle, animals have traditionally been seen as significantly different from, and inferior to, humans because they lacked a certain intangible quality – reason, moral agency, or consciousness – that made them moral agents. Recently however, society has patently begun to move beyond this strong anthropocentric notion and has begun to reach for a more adequate set of moral categories for guiding, assessing and constraining our treatment of other animals. As a growing proportion of the populations in western countries adopts the general position of animal liberation, more and more philosophers are beginning to agree that sentient creatures are of a direct moral concern to humans, though the degree of this

In the story "Can Animals Feel and Think?" it said that people think animals are just "animals." When people

“One cannot look deeply into the eyes of an animal and not see the same depth, complexity, and feeling we humans lay exclusive claim to.” - Nan Sea Love. This demonstrates how humans and animals share the same emotions and humans fail to realize it. Humans and animals interact with each other by sharing similar characteristics that include learning specific cultures, caring for others, loving one another, and many more positives qualities. Animals are able to display common human characteristics in ways that differ from the way humans do.

Brandt, K. (2004) bases her work of growing body of literature that highlights the ability that different animals can achieve inter-subjectivity and communicate through shared meaning. The topic is approached through the reformulation of Mead’s internationalist approach that is based on the idea that humans move from biological organisms to minded individuals, and animals are impulsive beings due to their lack of verbal language. Brandt shows that even within the absence of verbal language species can still create shared meaning and shape the way they live together. Through the interaction and creation of a relationship on both ends of the parties enables the ability sense another’s subjective presence. Ones subjective presence enables the

The author starts by showing how animals are concisions by telling a story of a chimpanzee. The chimp was offered a nut, it then dropped in on the ground and grabbed the person’s hand, as to say no thank you but I appreciate it. Then the author describes the quality of life of animals. ”In the labs, these very sociable creatures often live isolated from one another in 5-by-5-foot cages, where they

In this course, I discovered many new things and expanded my knowledge as I learned about animal emotions, their representation in the media, their moral status and more. When reflecting back over the wide array of topics covered in the course, there were two areas that resonated strongly for me and made me reconsider my own views. The first was the discussion of the hierarchy of animal rankings and how that affects their treatment. The second was the exploration of the capacity animals have to feel emotions and their anatomical similarities to humans. In the following paragraphs I will reflect on these two areas of the course, current opinions related the each area and why they had such a profound impact on me.

I believe that animal are capable of love towards us and each other. When animals are shown compassion, affection, love, any feeling actually they’ll show it back. Animals do have feelings the the documentary called “Love and Relationships with wild Animals” shows that. In “Love and Relationships with wild Animals” it shows us different examples of animals expressing their emotions towards their owners and other animals. It shows how the wild animals still remember their owners after years away from each other. Some of the animals were nurtured by their owner and went back to the wild, while other animals grew up with their owners. The ones nurtured would remember and play with their owners every time the owners would go and visit them in the wild.

The controversy over the rights of animals continues today within the United States. There has always been a question about the emotions of animals. Can animals feel and exhibit emotions in the same way that humans do? Some people agree that animals do show signs of intelligence and emotions like love and pain. After-all there are bird breeds who mate with only one partner during their lifespan giving us the impression
