> dhw: Animal perceptions are often vastly more acute than human perceptions, we cannot measure emotion, but I agree with you that human thought exceeds that of our fellow animals by a vast degree. That is not the same as saying that “only a human thinks or has emotions or has perceptions.” - Animals sensory perceptions can be much more acute, nothing more. Explain your statement if it means more.
