... are smarter than we think. In our lifetimes the intelligence of animals has been underestimated over and over. Each study, all the evidence, the greater the animal/human interaction have all proven this.
Being able to acknowledge the difference of intelligences, being able to understand the different abilities, being able to understand the physical, mental, natural, learned, and instinctive talents of all species can only grow.
Sadly, we've managed to destroy many or most species, invaded, destroyed or forced them to abandon most of their habitats, and polluted all the rest before we learned these things.
