Unit 4: Animal Intelligence

Animals are able to do things as yet unknown, recognize TV images so they can respond to gestures of the characters that appear in it. However, the intelligence of animals is limited compared with human intelligence. Humans are the most intelligent animals although not very well know how to use, because most people do not appreciate these intelligent animals, they are abused by the biggest animal called human.

Our thoughts, our feelings, our own curiosity and powers of observation, appear to be products of biological evolution. Man, today, has been democratized biologically.

In the world there are various animals that are used as a company and as a mere object of entertainment for humans, some are loved and pampered and others are replaced as they lose their commercial value. For a long time there is the idea that animals act by simple instinct and lack of conscience and feelings, this has meant that animal rights are the subject of ridicule and scorn. But it would follow belittling the animals if they had a conscience and feelings? You do not need this question, because they do have consciousness and feelings!!
