ANIMAL EMOTIONS

10

20

You may love your pet, but does your pet love you? Most animal lovers claim that animals
definitely experience emotions. Many stories are told of older dogs who become jealous when a
new dog (or a baby) arrives home. For many years, however, scientists did not agree that animals
experienced emotions; these behaviours, they said, were simply physiological reactions to external
stimuli. But now new research is beginning to confirm that animals may have feelings much like
ours.
Recent studies have shown that many animals, including chimpanzees, dogs, horses,
rats and birds, experience emotions similar to human jealousy, grief and love. Fear has also been
widely observed by scientists, perhaps unsurprisingly, since this emotion helps in survival. Biologist
Samuel Gosling claims that dogs exhibit four dimensions of personality: affection, sociability,
emotional stability and competence, a combination of intelligence and obedience. These are
similar to the categories of human personality generally found in basic psychological tests.
Other studies have shown that when a recording of dogs laughter is played to other
dogs, they start to play with each other, and rats who laugh frequently seem to be popular among
other rats, offering further proof of emotions among animals. In addition, animals respond to antidepressant drugs and this proves that their brain chemistry, which is affected by the drug, must be
similar to ours. Experts believe that their emotions must therefore be similar, too.
However, if animals really do have human-like emotions, there are some serious issues to
consider: how fair is it, for example, for humans to keep animals in cages, or use them for
pharmaceutical testing?
