Pythagoreans long ago believed that animals experience the same range of emotions as humans (Coates 1998), and current research provides compelling evidence that at least some animals likely feel a full range of emotions, including fear, joy, happiness, shame, embarrassment, resentment, jealousy, rage, anger, love.

Human beings, however, negotiate conflict through socially created values and codes of conduct. Human beings, unlike other animals, are able to reflect on and make judgments about our own and others’ actions, and as a result, we are able to make considered moral choices. We are not born with this ability.

People often ask if animals should have rights, and quite simply, the answer is “Yes!” Animals surely deserve to live their lives free from suffering and exploitation. Supporters of animal rights believe that animals have an inherent worth—a value completely separate from their usefulness to humans.

Originally Answered: Do animals understand their own mortality? Many animals understand what death is, but not the concept that death happens to each of them. They will search for a member of their ‘family’ or herd or flock who has died, even if they have observed it dying and dead.

Yes! Ostriches are attracted to humans. They will commonly preform mating dances for humans and prefer to try and impress humans rather than other ostriches. Elephants also show signs of thinking that animals are adorable by petting them with their trunk.

A recent study by Professor Paul Zak of Claremont Graduate University looked into the hormone oxytocin as a bonding agent in relationships, and made an amazing discovery: animals are capable of falling in love in the same way humans do! The animals’ oxytocin levels were measured before and after playing together.

The ‘categorical imperative,’ according to Kant, is a command or duty to act according to an objective principle of reason. Since the will may not always be completely determined by reason, Kant explains that subjective principles of volition should conform to objective principles of reason.

The Categorical Imperative is supposed to provide a way for us to evaluate moral actions and to make moral judgments. It is not a command to perform specific actions — it does not say, “follow the 10 commandments”, or “respect your elders”.

Kant calls the fundamental principle of morality the categorical imperative. A moral action produces something good; an immoral action produces a bad or harmful result. Deontology. Human beings sometimes have duties to perform certain actions, regardless of the consequences.
