Worse only was the claim that animals don't have emotions like we do because they lack speech. Somehow communication is a necesary requirement for experiencing emotion?
The most ableist shit ever...
are the animals that totally have no way of communicating any of their thoughts or attitudes in this room with us right now
Anybody who claims that animals don't have emotions because of some unqualified human exceptionalism hasn't had a pet.
Or, if they had a pet, I feel very sorry for that pet.
