Re: is it there?
When handling animals it becomes of importance. In the past both science and religion seem to have labeled animals as empty vessels or automatons that we shouldn't ascribe human feelings too, but frankly that's bullshit when it comes to mammals. As fellow mammals we can a pretty good understanding of how other mammals act, especially since the human difference seems to be logic and symbolism based and not anything core to basic existence. So while it takes a frame shift, you can generally understand whatever mammal you're dealing with based on your own experiences. Whereas other large variations, like reptiles, or in my recent case, spiders, you can't be as certain how they interpret the world around them and have to guess based on what you see.
