No they don't.

For me its a fact, because look. A dog can mate when ever. For example, they can make pregnant 2 female dogs and do the female dogs hate each other over the male?

No right? but us? we do right? Do you want your wife to cheat on you? No right? Its a disrispectful manner.

 

But how do you know that, are you a dog. I have not seen a dog have 2 mates. I have seen a dog have 1 mate and they stick together.

In my opinion if the dog did have 2 mates I believe the 2 mates would 'hate' each other.


On a side note, either you blocked me or you inbox is full.

 

T_T I didn't really block you. Go ahead and send the mail again.

Yes, they do have 2 mates, and they can have more! Its just that after its pregnant, the male dog can have another mate when ever he wants to. The Female can't stop him.

Its different here in humans. Once you cheat on your wife, she can be mad about you and if time passes, she can divorce. But dogs, don't have that feeling. Its all instincs

 

I honestly have never witnessed something like this.

Even if they do, humans also do this. Its called Polygamy. (possibly another topic needed).


Regardless, I don't see a female dog eating her young for food unless it was the last resort, even then I doubt she would eat her own young but some other dogs young.

 

I'm sure they feel. There is a cat at my house. She seems to love me more than anybody else in the house.

 

Yes, because I know leaving my cat to go on vacation she get's mad at me. She cuddles with me as well. My dog he protected me against this other dog. Those are signs of love well more friendship. They have feelings to, like when say your dog broke his legs. He'll cry and lick at it and whine, so fourth. I know this to be true, because I'm a huuge animal person who's trying to go into vetenarian medicine.

 

Yes, they do. You can see it, you usually become a very close friends with your pets. If you're sad, they try to comfort you. When you're in danger, they try to protect you. And so on, I guess you know what I mean.

 

Yes animals do have feelings

This is a fact. We had 2 female dogs, and one male. And the female dogs fought with eachother for our male dogs attention.

But last year our male dog unfortunately had to be put down. And after that neither of our dogs fought

But i think animals do feel. My dog when im sad comes and cuddles with me, or if she has been hurt. I'd like to believe my dog loves me(LOL sad i know), im very close to her as animal. Its the same with my cats. But animals have the abilities to care for one another.

I saw a documentary about elephants and a baby elephant was shot. It showed the mother and the other elephants in the herd morning the dead elephant.

 

Your making me cry... ^

Anyway, again another yes fact. Do you love? Do you feel? Guess what we're animals. Meaning just like us we can. Plus mother animals of like a lion or a gorilla protect there young no matter what.

 

To be more specific we are mammals, an animal is every living things.
We cannot justify this by saying were animals as well, a spider is an animal, the black widow eats there mate after getting frisky with them.

 

The mate usually let's them do it. It's their way of life. They did end up loving though if not we never have the 5 billion bugs we have today.

Again if you were to hurt your pet it would get very violent and hate you. Plus I'd like to point my attenction to the ASCPA, and the show animal cops on Animal Planet, they save animals who are usually sad a depressed then they show the after video when addopted and they're happy cuddling with there new owner. It's a happy thing, and they love it most of all. Again showing they have feelings.

 

What I'm trying to say is you shouldn't categorize all animals like that, some creatures are asexual and have no need for a partner.

I agree with you that animals have feelings, but only if there is need for feelings.

 

Bacteria aren;t in the animal kingdom, they're the only asexual thing out there and cells, but they're not animals neither. Anyway tthe animal with most feelings is all mamals. They probaly have most if the feelings and love.

 

Also, if the bacteria is a Prokaryote cell then it is an animal (technically).

 

There is no doubt in my mind that animals feel. For exapmle if dogs didnt feel why would there tails wag when there happy, or cats pure when they want or are getting attention. They also like it has been said before either love or dislike (Hates to strong a word) you.

 

Of course they have feelings. I have a cat that lives up at my Grandma's house and he loves to play and hang out with me. Because i'm around him alot, he really loves me.

 

Bacteria are not animals. Bacteria are single cell animals and dfall under the catagorey of Monera. Anamilia are the animal kingdom,

But i get what your saying. The diffrent distinctions of Animals such as Mammals, Reptiles, Insects, Anpibions(spell check wont correct that XD)

 

the Prokaryote cell is an animal cell that makes the bacteria, if not it would be a fungi

 

:S

A Prokaryote is the definition of what Monera are. lul
