My Favorite Animals Are Dogs.

I Had Never Been Able To Believe That God Would Give Us Poor Frail Humans Only One Chance At Making It -- That We Would Be Assigned To Some Kind Of Hell Because We Failed During One Experience Of Mortal Life. ... So The Concepts Of Karma And Reincarnation Made Logical Sense To Me.

Certainly, If You Look At Human Behavior Around The World, You Have To Admit That We Can Be Very Aggressive.

In What Terms Should We Think Of These Beings, Nonhuman Yet Possessing So Very Many Human-like Characteristics? How Should We Treat Them? Surely We Should Treat Them With The Same Consideration And Kindness As We Show To Other Humans; And As We Recognize Human Rights, So Too Should We Recognize The Rights Of The Great Apes? Yes.

But Let Us Not Forget That Human Love And Compassion Are Equally Deeply Rooted In Our Primate Heritage, And In This Sphere Too Our Sensibilities Are Of A Higher Order Of Magnitude Than Those Of Chimpanzees.

Of Course Animals Have A Personality And Emotions.
