Oh,great. You’re turning into one of those “Footballs have rights, too,” proponents? You were always such a solid citizen. Where have we gone wrong?

Every mammal, bird, fish, insect, crustacean can receive and express love in some form.

Except cats.

A lonely monkey at an Israeli zoo has found a way to soothe her maternal urges: by adopting a chicken.

Feeling empathy, a Tiger in a nearby cage invited them both over for dinner.

LOL! Let’s send him a notification and post his response on Youtube. No, wait—I’m severely disappointed in Youtube and Paypal now. Please scuttle that suggestion.

I disagree. I have watched many animal videos over the years, and I do believe that some higher animals are certainly capable of experiencing loneliness, depression, and grief.

Please see this part of the video linked at 6:21. Flint was an adolescent chimp that was overly attached to his mother, Flo. She was older when she had him, and she spoiled him. He couldn’t move on naturally like his brothers and sister. His attachment was not healthy...just like some humans get. And when she passed, he was not able to get over his grief.

I can provide other examples of this same sort of thing. I’ve seen stories and videos of it regarding dogs. Certainly primates. Elephants.

I never had kids and never had to nurse maternal instincts, either.
