Reply #172: I feel like I just watched The Pet Psychic

I am only joking here! My thoughts are very close to yours actually. My thinking is that animals and the reasons they do what they do is even more mysterious than your theories. Though I realize that much of my thinking is based upon hope. While I really do wish that animals had the ability to rationalize as well or better than humans I have a nagging suspicion that may not be the case. I think there may be a good possibility that most if not all animal behavior is the direct result of either instinctive or learned processes. Thanks for your opinions though. I enjoyed reading them.
