Not true! You ever see a dog that knows its guilty? So cute.So it suppose to bother me because an animal has a conscious?Or a natural occurrence..Some would argue that inner conscience we have is God.
some would say that too, but if it IS God, then, if there was NO God, we would have no conscience...
something to consider...
conscience.... what's the difference between emotions and conscience?
You can see emotions in animals - fear, guilt, shame, happiness. but a conscience?
Well, shame and guilt make up the "conscience." No? When you do something you know is wrong, you feel guilty and maybe shame about it later, and that would be "conscience." I don't think animals feel guilt or shame either. I think they do have some emotions, but they are very limited, like happy, sad, and fear.
We've always thought no other animal will ever be smart enough to think deeply but were realizing we don't know shit about dolphins. They're brains have been developing or evolving for millions of years longer than ours. We just don't know.
And dogs have gotten a lot smarter living beside us for thousands of years. One day dogs might talk. And if it ever happens it won't be a miracle or a sign that the end days are apon us. Lol
