LolBTW if you feel that animals "understand" and exhibit human love, then they must "understand" and exhibit human hate. If this is the case do we now need to decide if animals that kill human are doing this deliberately? Do we need to try them? Read them their rights? How about crows that steal shiny things? Do we have to arrest them?
You seem to be overly concerned with the "human" part of your "argument".
Do you understand canine love? Canine hate?
What makes you think, other than your obvious bias because you are a human, that "human" love is the be all end all of love?
Why would anyone be arguing that animals have human awareness?Still no of you have produced one shred of evidence that animals have awareness like humans. There has been a lot of speculation and fairy tales but no proof. You can do better.
That is your strawman.
