100% they have feelings, No one who ever had a dog could think otherwise.
Easy to see with dogs and cats...
What about pigs, cows, chickens and fish?
@@MattAngiono It's harder to interact with fish, so it's not as easy to see for yourself, but with the other ones it's the same thing. If you've ever had one as a pet, you know they have personalities and feelings.
Mammals usually developed feelings well because of social necessity, so I'm not sure about fish and chickens but I'm sure they have some emotions that is close to anger and terror in our terms
@@Gingnose birds do have feelings ravens and Jackdaws do.
@@MattAngiono Well, there is a study regarding how bacteria sacrifices themselves for the survival of the entire colony... when they encounter an antibiotic (the study was on E. coli), the colony takes a spherical like shape, and the bacteria from the exterior died because they are expose to higher doses of antibiotic, in order for the bacteria from inside to be expose to lower doses of antibiotic, and to live....
So for me, this kind of sacrifice (altruism in a sense) it is a form of expressing feeling.
Does the viruses and prions have feelings? We don't know. We are not sure even if they are alive or not.
The coolest experiment i ever saw was on a program where they trained a dog by showing it one toy and giving it a snack, a second different toy resulted in petting and praise. Once they had the dogs prepared, they were put in the machine and a person stood out of sight and showed the toys to the dog. The pleasure centers light up more and more strongly when the toy for praise was shown than for the snack. The dogs got more pleasure from anticipating a loving response than for food. It laid to rest the skeptics who say that dogs regard us as nothing more than food providers.
Not only do they have feelings, but they are way more intelligent than non-owners will ever realize. I have had dogs that amazed me with the things they knew and could do. Also, each of them had a different personality. And yes, they DO watch TV and know what they are seeing, our dog recognized and reacted to a white porcelain cat on "The Antiques Road Show."
Like the current TV ad says, your life is enriched immensely by having dogs.
As a youth I was always told "dogs don't have feelings they are just manipulating you with behavior". Biggest set of lies. I volunteer in a rescue. When I cuddle a scared dog that just came in off he bus and other dogs see that they get Jellos. When I give treats some get envious. My dog throws pillows of the bed when she has a tantrum. When I pet another dog she gets insecure. I am convinced that people who deny that dogs have feelings also denie their own.
All animals have feelings.
This includes farm animals and fish!
That's why veganism is such an important philosophy!
That's such an odd thing. "Manipulating you with their behaviour"? That in itself implies they have emotions, at the very least. "Biggest set of lies" - definitely, you're so right!
In S Afria, about 1970, we had a Dalmation (Lela), Lela got a disease which the vet said was too advanced to treat . One of my children and I sat with her for her last couple of days when she was too week to even sit up, however just before she died she "Stood Up" looking at "somebody" who seemed to be infront of her, she waged her tail, barked a greeting, and THEN dropped dead .
They make me have feelings. I adore them and would never be without one. ❤❤
They don't love you. They just see you as a poop processing unit.
@@benjamindover4337 well the joy they give me I’m happy to provide the service.
I am elderly and have decided not to have any more pets when my 2 dogs and my cat die. Mainly because of seeing rescue videos of animals bereft when their owners die. I hope to outlive my companions. Though I know I will miss them. Maybe I should buy a fluffy toy 🐶
If we really love animals, we need to become vegan.
Otherwise, we are perpetuating the abuse of these innocent creatures.
Either we take a stand and become vegan, or we pay someone to torture them daily.
Thousands of animals were slaughtered while I typed and you read this short comment.
Think about that!
Not only dogs, but also all animals. So clear when you interact with them or observe their behavior. Life is magical.
Even sponges?
My dog gets really excited when I start putting shoes and socks on, then sulks like crazy if it's not to take her for a walk. She'll lie with her back to me with her head on her paws, with a face like curdled milk.
If she's pestering me and I ask what she wants, she might run to the front door (walk). If I go to the back door instead, to let her out into the garden, she *groans* like a human.
When we're out walking she'll pretty much ignore me until she realises I'm turning for home. Then she'll immediately sit down and give me a staring contest. If I try to encourage her with the lead, she'll just lie down and keep up that unblinking eye contact.
How could anyone think the beings we are most connected to don't have feelings like us?
My dog sneezes if she can't get what she wants... She definitely has feelings! Fascinates me as I thought sneezing was involuntary. Great novel research work with the fMRI scanning, excited to see where it leads
Mine has pretty well trained me to do what she wants and to cater to her whims. The smart part is that she lets me think I'm choosing to do it.
I have an aging dog with a bad back. She comes and stands by the sofa so I can massage her neck and slowly moved along so she ends up with her lumbar spine being massaged.
Haha, they're so cute and clever!
They should use fMRI scans of animals going through slaughter houses.
Might change how horrifically we treat them.
Cats and dogs are no more deserving of love than pigs cows chickens and fish....
We need to grow up and stop adjusting them all
@@MattAngiono Agree, although practically speaking, I'm not sure how well you can train other animals to remain still for long periods of time like you can with dogs
I have no doubt❤️ thank you for the work you do.
Yes. That was a quick and easy answer to give.
Personally, my experience of dogs is precisely in accordance with this presentation. From a science perspective, I can see that it is important to document empirical evidence, but it leaves science hundreds of years behind common sense and instinct.
This makes sense. out of the first wolves that came into human camps 50,000+ years ago, only the friendlier ones would have survived. Aggressive or dangerous wolves would have been killed or chased out of camp. The friendly ones were allowed to stay and interbred alongside humans and became what we know today.
Im delighted
Good insight
When I ask my dog what she wants she either licks her lips for hungry, nuzzles me for love and cuddles, walks to the front door for going out and pee pees and gets her toys for playing. They’re always communicating, I find it’s not the dogs that don’t know what’s going on but the humans! Humans don’t watch or understand their animals, or respond to their needs.
What would be more parsimonious? That they have feelings, or that they somehow are able to perfectly mimic having feelings in all circumstances without having feelings? That nature evolved feelings once, or that it evolved feelings and then a separate feelings-fakery system? At this point when I see this question I just laugh and move on. It's at the level of people who ask things like, "Is the moon real?".
Yes
I know many owners can say that their dogs gets jealous.
Yes, they do 🐶
Yes.
Of course they do
It's still survival of the fittest. The circumstances favored the friendliest in this case.
We were taught that emotions are a high level item. I'm convinced emotions are basic to at least mammals to create certains behaviours
Right? What else would be going on in there, pure rationality?
Why would dog not have feelings.
What animal science that I am interested in is that newer generations of scientist are actually more open to the Idea of us being not more special then any other animal on this planet and looking at the intelligence and communication of animals. In recent years there was this trend of teaching dogs and cats to communicate using buttons with voices and apparently some universities are doing studies to see how much of it is learned from us rewarding button use and how much it is from the dog communicating. As well they are looking to see how dogs interpret human language.
I don't know if any of those studies are out yet but from what I have seen, I do believe dogs do have some form of language interpretation different then ours but also seem to be able of understanding more things then the basic words they use in the buttons. Dog collars that actual intercept electrical signals from dog brains could one day allow us to have a 2 way conversation that does not require us teaching the dog to use buttons or us learning the physical language of the dogs.
The barriers that differentiate humans from other animals have been withered down to nothing over recent years.
Some softened are there in degree, but not in kind.
That's why veganism is such an important philosophy.
We shouldn't treat animals any differently than we treat ourselves, at least as far as abuse is concerned.
We need to rethink why we enslave and exploit sentient creatures hardly different from us
@@MattAngiono vegans are moral busybodies
@Arthur Dent that's because animals can't stand up for themselves, and literally tens of thousands were killed while you typed that short comment.
So yes, vegans try to take some time to stop the cycle of abuse.
It's not about virtue signaling, but about trying to get people to think about how they contribute to these animals' suffering
So friendly dogs exemplify the idea of survival of the fittest. Ie they evolved to fit their environment. The phrase is commonly misused as it doesn't refer to physical fitness as in going to the gym but fittest for the local environment. So dwarf plants are the fittest for high windswept plateaux while mangroves are the fittest for marine edge environments.
But thanks for this evidence to prove that pet owners have not been imagining things all these years. 👍👍
My dog often cries on my shoulder about politics, the current state of the world etc
Dogs of course have feelings, in very much the same way all sentient animals do. Animals are friends, not food!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Of course dogs have feelings.
The only people that ask that question never had a dog in the family.
You trap an animal and exploit it for "love". That's pretty sick, don't you think? You tie a rope around it's neck so it can't get away. And that's "love"?
Possibly if i had to bet. But I doubt we'll know for sure 100% in the near future.
In my opinion they have very little apart from feelings.
I believe that I could answer these questions, without all of the fancy science equipment.
Sure, you are able to delve deeper than our mere surface-level understanding, during our interactions we have with our dogs, but I can't help but feel that these were easy questions to answer, if you own or have owned, dogs.
Next time, send me a fiver and a bottle of whisky, then I'll do your dog studies for you.
Anyway, it is nice for the confirmation, if nothing else. Well done to all who were involved, you have been really good, here's a treat for you all 🦴.
They must throw the least promising scientists into this sort of research
Only a complete eedjit would think dogs do not have feelings
I don't understand the video. Are there really still people who believe that mammals have no feelings?
It’s about the difference between folk beliefs and what is supported by evidence.
How about everyone who eats animals 3 times a day without a single consideration that these pieces of flesh came from a consciously suffering creature....
@@MattAngiono Does brow beating approach ever work?
@Hadayi Mosi I don't keep stats.
The question is if people are willing to be intellectually honest about the ethics.
Most people will ignore it outright.
But some will have not thought about it and will consider how their actions are affecting these innocent creatures.
That's how it was for me.
I contributed to the cycle of abuse for most of my life.
It took someone pointing out the ethics before I considered changing what I was doing
Yes
I could have told u all this for free
He told us this for free.
Why would one even ask that question ??? Seems like Click Bait.
Talk to your animals from a young age and they will learn to talk to you, if you don't know they have feelings......
It’s 2023, is anyone still believing any animal (dog, cat, hamster, gnu, elephant, porpoise,…) doesn’t have emotions? AND feel pain?
This is a silly topic. My six dogs and three cats are sad right now because they can’t believe this nonsense is being discussed… STILL!
>helping us to learn what it's like to be an animal
This man is a robot conFIRMed, they've already taken over. The human race is doomed.
What about pigs, cows, chickens and fish?
Do they have feelings that deserve our moral consideration?
Or are they just there to be exploited and turned into products?
Thank you!
every animal has feelings - it is just denial by humans so that they dont' have to justify killing an animal that has feelings . it is plain insensitivity killing them knowing they do have. Animals care for their young ones like humans do - if not feelings what is it ?
@@path2wellbeing keeping it 💯
Lol, fish.
@@path2wellbeing the same thing that makes them procreate, instinct
Do dogs have feelings? Yes. They do. Thank you all for coming. Drive home safe. Goodnight
Clickbait please don’t make titles like this.
Is the question even in doubt? That’s a question a five-year-old might ask. Try to title your videos as if adults might actually watch them.
Oh PLEASE! Are we really in such a state as a society, to have to ask such MORONIC question. Says everything about humans and nothing about dogs.
Fake glasses. Why?
I noticed you have evolved to speak a strange English that exchanges the word 'very' for 'super'. Did Darwin see that coming I wonder?
I noticed that you have both Cluster A and Cluster B personality disorders at the same time; that's pretty rare, congratulations!
It's yet another American import, sadly. It has now infected many of my work colleagues too.
I'm really not a fan either.
Yes
Yes.
