So, it might just be me, but I am so sick and fucking tired of science news magazines reporting on the complexities and intelligence of animals. No fucking shit, really? Animals have instincts and personalities and communicate? This information, is not news, and it is also not new.
Dogs bark, and when they bark they are saying something to other dogs. It is not just a noise, it is a warning, call, attraction...the list goes on. I am perplexed when "animal researchers" are presenting this information like it is new information.
This just in, Apes can sense death and dying. Really? Because death and dying is a sensory thing, when you are in the presence of death, you can feel it, just like when you are in the presence of someone who is sick with a cold, happy, or sad, or any other fucking emotional state or health state. It is an outrage to me that they are just realizing that it might be healthier for apes to die in the company of their family and friends. Is that not what so many humans have done over the years? Is that not how apes would have done it in the wild? Animals are living organism's and can sense emotional changes just like humans can.
To be telling the world of these "earth shattering" experiments where you compare and contrast animals in positive environments versus animals in negative ones, no shit, the positively environment-ed animals will be much more responsive, a concept also found in children from health homes or unhealthy homes. Animals are also a product of their environment. I do not understand why this is concept is shocking.
-End of rant.
P.s. This just in: Saying the word faggot or any syllogism of that word, does not mean that you are not gay. Just for the record...vast majority of retarded males.
