"When someone says you can’t attribute human emotions to animals, they forget the key leveling detail: humans are animals. Human sensations are animal sensations: inherited sensations, using inherited nervous systems. Simply deciding that other animals can’t have any emotions that humans feel is a cheap way to get a monopoly on all the world’s feelings and motivation. Human emotions of pleasure, pain, sexuality, hunger, frustration, self-preservation, defense, parental protection — we see evidence of all these in other species."
