I see that, but do animals really have thoughts? They do have a brain, but is it just conditioned response like a plant?
I feel the the barrier of intelegence relys on the quest for pleasure.
Hit your dog in the face with a shovel and see what happens.

Why would you think animals don't have thoughts when they have all the same basic physical features that you do?

They have skin with nerves, eyes, ears, noses, brains, central nervous systems, etc. Why is it such a stretch to conclude those organs and senses may serve similar functions in different animals?
